Hello Community,

I have a qeustion and i hope someone can answer this.

I have been troubling quite some time with making my Windows Vista totally black, i did fine so far but now i have just one obstacle i want to chance without installing stupid 3rth party color changers (unless i can use that app to edit windows files like dll's)

In this screenshot i have marked the colors in the windows i would like to change or put a new picture on them, see screenshot below:

Been searching the web also quite some time but i cant find the right "qeury" to put in google.com, and asking here i think will be a good place.

Thnx already,

Yours,

Arjan

As far as I know, that requires a custom shellstyle.dll, which you can edit with programs like ResTuner and ResHack. Other than that, I don't think it's possible.

Also... Arjan, is that you? [Of Lionheart fame? Heh.] If not, ignore this line.

Yes, this is what I was going to say, you can find themes that do that for you, over here on the Vista section, but they won't work with SP1 just yet, unless you patch the system yourself.
