Change scrollbar color of theme?

[austin6598]

How can I change the custom colored scrollbar in the theme I am using. It is blue but I want it to be black.

It comes with a ExplorerFrame.dll, .theme, and a .msstyles file.

Welcome to the Seven Forums

Post a link to the theme and I can tell you the image #s in the .msstyles that need edited.

Here is the link:

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?res...authkey=!AEn_c_mAloznBjU&ithint=folder,.theme

to download just press Ctrl + A and right click a file and click Download. It will download a .zip file.

its not just the scrollbar color but also the background color of buttons. any "button" or selection such as clicking "Next" in and installer application. The background of the box that says "Next" would be blue.

I could not find the .msstyle on the Skydrive.

Post a link from where you got the theme not from Skydrive.

I am new to this whole theming thing, and I am not sure how to use the information you gave me to alter the theme. I was wondering if you could just change it yourself and send me a link to download the edited file. I would really appreciate it. I just want it to be the same color as the darker shade of black on the start menu. The whole theme is black besides this one part so I really think it would look better if it was changed. I dont want the background color of the scrollbar changed, just keep it white.

Where did you get this theme?

You need to export the images using a resource hacker, edit them with a image editor, import the edited images back in.

I got the theme from this video: ?Windows 7 Theme: Premiere Customization Pack? - YouTube
Took me a while to find the video but then I just looked in my YouTube history and it was in there.

I think I'm just going to not use a theme till a find a different one. I am not that familiar with these things.

You would need to ask the theme maker if it's OK for me to edit it and post it here, it's not cool to edit someone else work.

I sent him a "note" a while back and he never replied

I sent you a PM with a link to it on my skydrive. Let me know when you get it.

I got it but am I supposed to do anything else besides just double clicking on it? It didn't change the scrollbar colors. But now there is a black highlight in the searchbox in explorer and that shouldn't be there. I think I might have to do something besides just opening it. I installed other themes by using the "theme manager" program.

Go to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\ and look for a premiere folder then replace the .msstyles with the 1 I edited.

Hello, I did not want to necro this thread but I want to make the exact same changes to the same theme so I figured it would be better to use this post rather than make a brand new one.

If you still have that edited file would you mind PMing it to me bongo

Here is the file

I still have it so here you go: http://1drv.ms/1dGu7GQ

Are you making any other changes to it? Also I don't know how to edit these things but could you combine this file I am sharing with you with this: Black Progressbar Windows 7 by Auke1001 on deviantART

I think that would really complete the theme.

 

[gfrog101]

I'll look into it, I didn't plan on making other changes because I don't know how to but I might try to learn to tweak some small stuff.

I still have it so here you go: Microsoft services

Sorry for grabbing out this topic but my question is directly related to the msstyles file.

I was able to apply it and now have black scroll bars, which I like much better than the old ones. But I was wondering, if I could change the color using e.g. msstyleEditor or any other tool. Apparently the image 710 is import for the scroll bar color but I think you also added 811, 1074 and 1075 and changed some other images.

If only I knew which images to replace, I think I could change the color myself. Or is there maybe a tool where you can change the scroll bar color of msstyle files more easily?
