Custom Themes

[z3r010]

I've been playing around making themes.

This is my 1st try - www.sevenforums.com/sevenforumstest.zip


For how to create a .themepack, see: Theme Pack - Create, Save, Install, and Delete

How do you save a theme once it's all set up? - I want to save mine b4 applying yours.

EDIT: Nevermind I found it - Cool theme, did you get those wallpapers from InterfaceLIFT: Wallpaper sorted by Date by any chance? I noticed cause I have some of those as my wallpaper, I was like wait a second... :sarc: lol

Yup save theme -> change drop down file type to themepack


BTW according to this doc that Shawn dug up http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb773190(VS.85).aspx (themepack bit near bottom) a themepack can save wallpapers, Icons, sounds & cursors

I haven't got the tutorial put together yet for a Theme Pack, but you can get a good idea with this below for now on how to do all of this.

Looks good. Just curious, are the only changes the wallpapers and the colour?

No custom icons etc?

 

[z3r010]

None yet as it was my 1st test.

I'm going to try to put a full theme together today with icons, sounds, wallpapers etc

 

[Mark]

That would be nice to see, good luck John!

1st Test with icons etc - SF Space.themepack - Windows Live

Not bad zero10, Desktop Icons need to be better quality though!!

Thanks, Anthony

They worked and that was all I needed to know

 

[Mark]

That worked great, one thing though do you have another icon for the empty recycling bin?

 

[Airbot]

I actually like the little recycle bin though. Really cool wallpapers.

 

[Anthony]

Oh, i see, sorry!

It should have both, is the empty one missing?
