where are the original Aero Image's?

[Robertman20]

I've just started learning how to Create my own theme for windows 7 and i found out that some of the aero image's seem to be scaled down to like 1x3 pixels. I don't know what's the problem here. it could be my Windows style builder but in other themes it's just their original size... so i was wondering if anybody has the original windows aero theme for windows 7 because i wanna edit that slightly.

Thanks in advanced,

Robert

Your original Aero Theme is at C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero
I use Windows style builder & there are some images as small as 1x1 px in the original Aero Theme. Did you change the original Aero Theme & need a new copy? Here it is.

Thanks Bongo. I just thought there was something wrong with my aero theme since i saw alot of tiny 1x1 image's and stuff. Well i guess it's been made that way. I'll have to make the entire bar from scratch then and hope it still looks good :huh: Thanks for the Help Bongo.

You can make the images bigger just not to big it will not work look at a custom theme in WSB & get an idea of some of the sizes

in a nutshell

The original Aero image files are at
c:\windows\web\wallpaper\<theme-specific subdirectory>

If you open any of the existing theme files in notepad and scroll down til you see lines ending in .jpg, you'll see exactly which files are referenced. I had to do a search for one of the files and then "open containing folder" to find exactly what aero thought "system root" was.
