Change taskbar's font color?

[kdm7]

I'm using window 7 pro x64 and I can't get this to work.
I took ownership of the aero file, edited as explained (tried with reshack as well), and it just doesn't change anything.

I tried to download the file, but the link to aero.rar is broken (at least, all I get is asterisks, even though I'm logged in)

Did the location has changed? or am I doing something wrong?

windows 7 pro sp1
--------

doesn't matter. you have to patch the 3 files even if you change the original file without renaming it (from the thread here it was obvious that if you modify the original w/o renaming no need for patching).
you do need an appropriate patch for sp1, (got the solution else where).

I downloaded the universl theme patcher here http://www (dot) mediafire (dot) com/?8jz8arf4127o9ug

Changing the font color in the taskbar is possible....
Registry editing can't get this to work....

Tools that you need : Resource Hacker & a Hex Editor...

I am using Restorator 2007 and a freeware xvi32 Hex Editor....

Takeownership of the aero msstyles in (C:\window\Resources\Themes\Aero\aero.msstyles) if you are using the default style
do a backup just in case.

Open the aero.msstyles with Restorator or any Resource Hacker you're using...
Expand the Variant Folder and save the Normal.res in a place where you can find it.

Ok next come the hex editor, open the Normal.res with vxi32 and press Ctrl+G to bringup the search address & key in 2DC75 in the search box with hexadecimal radio button check
Once you in the right address look for FF FF FF in the correspond row it should be at column 12 13 14, change it to any color you desire and save it.

Note that the color is in Hex code not RGB.. eg if you wanna change to black the code is 00 00 00.

Lastly use Restorator and get the modded file back to aero.msstyles and replace it in C:\window\Resources\Themes\Aero\aero.msstyles

Logoff or restart to see the changes...

Hope this small tutorial will bring a smile to you........
