Reply to Windows Vista officially sucks for skinning in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Skillet98" reply="5" id="2620276"] BTW, IS THERE a way to remove the icons in the command bar? Or is that some kind of Win7 only feature?[/quote] There probably is a way, but it will involve editing a UIfile in a .EXE or .DLL file and I really haven't tried it in Vista so I really don't know for sure. I do know you can remove the help icon(if you want to remove that also), but don't remember what file it is in seeing I haven't had Vi

Windows 7 isn't any better, the only way to get just about everything skinned is to hack a bunch of resources and use an app called "Windows Style Builder"(in which I have) it to has some limitations, but not as many as Skinstudio does! Most of the limitations in WSB ( mainly font color) that I have run into are not the fault of the app, but are hard coded in the OS itself.

Sheesh, people complaining about impulse being a resource [e digicons]:pig:[/e] when it doesn't even need to stay running is quite amusing. [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] I might as well complain about photoshop being a [e digicons]:pig:[/e] then seeing it is using over half my ram, but I won't!

How's this: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Heigar/icons/flag.png[/IMG] I see it could use some cleaning up along the edges, just something I threw together pretty quickly and was all done in photoshop.

I agree, it's so much easier to change the OS through windowblinds and skinstudio than hacking the .msstyle, explorer .exe, shell32.dll and shellstyle.dll and others which is way more time consuming even with an app called Windows Style Builder.( only positive thing about resource hacking is you can skin every nook and cranny in which is not possible with WB and SKS).

Glad to see you got it sorted out, but you may have replaced the necessary .dll's and exe except that most of the images you were trying to change back can be found in the .msstyle (by the looks of your screenshot was modified)...

The only thing I can think of is replacing the aero.msstyle to an original one, the scroll bars, taskbar,infopane and button images all reside in the msstyle. The side bar image in the control panel is in the shell32.dll, so don't know why it didn't change when you changed files... Don't forget you need full control over the files you are trying to replace, I use a program called<a href="http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?/topic/13145-rel-take-control-b2/" target="_blan
