Any ideas ? What am i doing wrong ? I use Windows 7 Professional 32 bit.
Please help me.

What did you modify? Can you do a system restore by using one of the F keys after Bios to before you did the change?

I modified the font /size letter of right click -desktop menu.
It's working, but after i restart the computer, as i said above, i cannot login back.
And by the way : whenever i try something ( programs, testing, etc ) i always activate the option Try and Decide, from Acronis.
If there is a problem, i restart the PC, and i have 2 options during restart :
1 -Continue in the mode ( something like that )with the options to continue testing..

2- Discard changes
So i press Discard changes, and everything it's like before i tested ....whatever.
Now i'm okay, but i wanna change those fonts / letters from right click -desktop menu.
I wish i could use this nice program, but it seems to a problem, somewhere.
Thanks.

Did you have login problems before installing WSB?

Did you try to edit the theme you are using?
If so you need to use a different theme then logoff & logon then you can edit the theme that you want to change (but not using at the time of editing)

No, i didn't have login problems before installing WSB.
Yes, i tried to edit the theme i'm using.
I don't understand exactley what do you mean. A different theme ??
But i wanna edit the theme i'm using, because there is something i want to modify.
Let me understand : so, for example, i wanna edit Snow Leopard theme, right ?
Do i have to use another theme when i edit Snow Leopard theme ?

Yes change to another theme & logoff & logon
then you can edit Snow Leopard theme.
To change the font, size, color is at Lists, Menus & Tabs > Menu > PopUpItem

DO THIS 1ST
OK for the login problem to a system restore to before you installed WSB & see if that fixes it then reinstall WSB

I don't know what am i doing wrong.
Now i did as you said. I changed the theme, log off - logon.
After that, i modified the theme Leopard, right ? I save it as "Leopard test"
Log off - logon again. No more problems with the logon, but how do i apply the them i changed ?? If i choice Leopard, from right click- desktop / personalization, i can't see Leopard test theme.

Do you make a folder for "Leopard test" & put it in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes ?
Use this http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/59530-themes-customize-information-settings-name.html?filter

[stereo]

No, i dont make a folder for "Leopard test" in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
Should i ?? I really don't understand what am i doing wrong. If i use another theme, and i modify Leopard theme, when is done, i'm asked to use now the modified theme, i press OK. Everything is fine, the right click - desktop menu is modified, letters -size -fonts -color or whatever, but after log off, when i logon back, i have the Leopard theme again, not the theme i modified ( Leopard test )
Can you do me a favour, please ? Just modify this Leopard theme for me, change to PopUp item to 9- color black instead grey, and send it to me, please.
I wonder if it's gonna work.
Thanks.

I tried as in the pictures above, and all i have now is the Aero Arial themes.
I think i give up. It's to complicate for me.
All i wanted is to change the right click - desktop font / size / color
And maybe in the future, the taskbar / title bar colors.
Thanks a million, anyway.

Dont give up after you get it it will be easy then. Did you start with a copy of aero theme ?
Did you rename all the things to Leopard test ?
Did you put the modified theme Leopard test.mssytle in there to replace the aero.msstyle in Step 6 of the screenshots ?
Jerry

 

[stereo]

Okay, i'll try again, and after i'm done, i will put here some screenshots.
I hope, this time i'll fix it the way i want.

But before i do that, please tell me which themes from the image do i have to modify with notepad ?
Snow Leopard folder and the other 2 SL files ?

 

[Bongo]

The Snow Leopard Window Theme file the bottom right one 1.87kb that one is OK
you need to edit the aero one you copy to your desktop with note pad.

The Snow Leopard Window Theme file the bottom right one 1.87kb
Jerry

Yeah, that's a bit different. I tried before with the Arial theme
I'll be back, soon.
Thanks.
LE : Done
I attached another printscreen, here.
When i click on Leopard test, i have the Windows 7 themes/ skins , taskbar, etc

Make sure you start with COPY'S of aero , maked in red in screenshot

 

[Bongo]

Is it working for you
Jerry

 

[stereo]

Ahh, i modified only the file Snow Leopard ( 1.87 kb )

 

[stereo]

I try again, now.
So, i have now ( copy ) on the desktop the files + the 1.87 kb SL file.
There is 1 folder called Arial. Inside are 3 files : 1 aero file and 2 folders -> shell and en-US
And another aero file, which is 1.85 kb
So, i have to start with the 1.85 kb file, first ?
And then, SL file ?

 

[Bongo]

OK lets do is 1 step at a time we will get it
#1 get copys of the 2 folder + file in screenshot
marked in red & put them in a new folder on your desktop , open the new folder & take a screenshot & post it for me. Then we will do step 2.
