Right click on graphic, click properties, make whatever changes you want and then click on export selected to save.

It's real easy to get at the pictures, do this:

Go to the theme folder in DesktopX, right click the theme you want to get graphics from, and click "Open With WinZip". You can now extract anything you want from the theme file to any other folder on your drive. Easy!.

If you can't see "Open with Winzip", just choose "Open With" and then select Winzip from the list that it gives you.

Remember, .dxtheme files are just renamed zip files, so you could even rename the file .zip instead of .dxtheme, and then just open it with Winzip, but I think the first method is easiest.

If you get into difficulties, just e-mail me at [email protected]
