Notice when Blueness is applied the certain elements, say the animated details tab you get in windows explorer, or the category view in control panel, are white and plain. well i wondered why. The bitmaps for those elements are within the particular version of shellstyle.dll in each style variation. i opened in resource hacker to see if there was a probelm with the one included with styles xp and there didnt seem to be one. (although they did just stick the one from Luna/Homestead there, and that drab green just isnt workin with their theme). Went into the actual msstyles file they made and found out ther never changed the COLORNAMES resource from "NormalColor" to "Blue" They have their shellstyle.dll file in a folder called Blue, but without changeing the resource (and perhaps other references in the msstyles file), when uxtheme goes to render the style, it wouldn't find shellstyle.dll because it is in a folder called "Blue", not "NormalColor" Since im not to savvy at editing resources and have nothing to recompile the file with, the easiest fix for it, is going to WINDOWS/Resources/Themes/stylesXP_1/shell and rename the "Blue" folder to "NormalColor"
