You're welcome
I know nothing about hex editing, I use Ave's Windows7 Style Builder to create or edit themes.

dear jerry, i indeed edited the pics of Active 686 Inactive 687 in the aero.msstyles(in basic mode),and in normal window
it's ok, but in maximize window it's not changed, remains the same,what's the problem?

(in basic mode)

OK try 689 for Active and 688 for Inactive or in WSB Toolbars, Headers and Rebar > Rebar > NavBar > Basic > Max > Active > Background and Toolbars, Headers and Rebar > Rebar > NavBar > Basic > Max > Inactive > Background
