Thanks

Post a link to the theme & I will look at it & give you the #s I use WSB to find the #s it has the locations in a tree view.

Thankyou Jerry this is the link Carbon Fusion For Windows 7 by *sergiogarcia9 on deviantART.
Is WSB a free program or paid for.Whats the best way to export and then import the origional taskbar images to the theme.I was just going to use resource hacker as im used to using it.

Thankyou very much Jerry

Danny

P.S I could do with all 4 taskbar positions if thats not to much bother so i can replace with the 4 default images you posted earlier.

EDIT-Also I use small taskbar icons does this make any difference to their locations

No it's not free but it's only a little less than $23 US Ave's Windows7 Style Builder .
As for importing and exporting the images if you're used to resource hacker just use it. Windows style Builder makes it a lot easier.

Yes it does make a difference when you use small icons.
That's why numbers change in the original or default theme they share images, but Windows style builder makes them individual images.

After looking at this theme only the bottom taskbar was changed and he did not do it for small icons at all, if you oversize the image you will have to watch your settings on the taskbar buttons you will not be able to use Always combine, hide labels because he did not add sizing margins, if you use the original size image it will not be a problem.

Here are the numbers

Bottom 921, 1166 small icons 1168

Top 923, 1167 small icons 1169

Right 922, 1171 small icons 1173

Left 924, 1170 small icons 1172

Thanks for the research Jerry very much appreciated. I do have a few queries though.

If I use small taskbar icons the taskbar does change to the custom one on the bottom.You are right about the other sides though the default one is used. I have posted an image of why i need the origional as you can see the system tray becomes very blurry.

Would you be as so kind to add the small icon takbar locations to post #2 then I will have a crack at it

Thankyou

Danny

If you are working on the default aero.msstyles the second set of number in the locations in post #2 are for both large and small icons the default shares them images it's only different in a custom theme built with WSB.
Jerry
Here you can see in the default aero.msstyles the numbers are shared and have the same number.

Here you can see the theme you posted a link to are not shared and have a different number.

Let me know if you need more help.

I understand now thankyou for your patience.Will give it a whirl and let you know how it goes.Odd the custom theme shows the custom taskbar in both sizes

Thankyou

I cannot get this to fully work. Its as-though the custom taskbar is built in a few parts as only some of it changes to default.I also tried to reverse engineer it started with a default msstyles and tried to add just the taskbar images to it to see if i could create a new theme with just the custom taskbar but this also failed miserably not all the taskbar changed.
I think I may buy the program you suggested and try with that it seems much simpler.

Thanks

Danny

Are you working on the theme & using it at the same time? If so you cannot do that, you need to use a different theme & logoff/logon to change it.

No I switched to a basic theme whilst working on the aero side.Its odd I cant even replicate the custom taskbar in a default msstyles just to check.I think there maybe some extra images some where although im not sure im still new to themes.

Try 1 of these 2 ways
If you are working on the default aero.msstyles (basic or aero) you need to use Windows Classic theme & logoff/logon then do the changes & test then repeat.

If working on a custom.msstyles (basic or aero) you need to switch to a different theme & logoff/logon then do the changes & test then repeat.

& have you done 1 of these 2 ways of Enabling custom themes for it to work.

Or

If using WSB it has a text button & as long as you are using a different theme you can test & change with out logging off/on.

Thanks Jerry got it working to some extent.Ive got the default taskbar put into the custom theme and that works fine I just cant copy the effect of the custom taskbar into a default theme I can get the taskbar to change but cant get the dark effect where the icons are in my attachment im presuming thats another image inlayed on top.In short im trying to get the taskbar from the theme into a default mmstyles for the bottom taskbar small icons.Am i missing something with the darker part of the image.
This is what im getting but it should look like the image in my previous post.

I am a little confused
do you want to look like this
A

or this
B

Jerry

 

[xxxdannyxxx]

Sorry Jerry im confusing even myself.
Ive added the default task bar to the custom theme fine and that looks great. I was just trying to add the custom taskbar to a default msstyles to see if I could stop the blurring in the system tray.Like I said before im new the themes and was just trying to find out what is possible, however I cant get the custom taskbar to display correctly when I add it to a default msstyles.
This is what I end up with.


It should look like the one from the custom theme

Danny

 

[Bongo]

It looks like you need to put the custom image in the default aero.msstyles at #845
