Custom themes

[swarfega]

Ive used the universal theme patcher to patch both 64-bit and 32-bit dlls. But I cant get these theme to work:

Ezlo for Windows 7 by ~Xyrfo on deviantART
Seven Breeze Port To Windows7 by ~sagorpirbd on deviantART

It just loses aero and goes to basic theme.

I don't know if this will make a difference, but I quit using that theme patcher and use the method in this tutorial,

Unfortunately that didnt work. Not sure why because this method has in the past.

I heard my name? lol

There might be something wrong with your patched files.
Or that you didnt copy the right content to the Themes Folder
Also a last thing can be an error in the msstyles (something to do with locations of theme files etc)

I feel its your latter idea with locations because the preview in Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization is black with the default colour scheme. I have tried editing the .theme file but other than that Ive no idea what the correct locations are.

I will download those two themes and report back to you

Okay been testing, and they both work for me

Have you made sure only to copy these files (the ones with the blue dot on the side) to the themes folder?

 

[swarfega]

ah ha that worked! So all the other detritus was messing the theme up?

Yes they were

Those files are for other things like system files etc

Always only copy the folder named "example" with a matching theme file named "example" into the themes folder

 

[swarfega]

ok, thanks a lot for the help. Ive added lots of themes already and settled on one for now. Ill post a screenshot in the relevant thread.
