Sticktron Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 (edited) I was tinkering with the IE7 beta, and managed to turn ON the built-in Longhorn style, complete with shiny new resources. Now your tabs can look nicer than FF! -- How To: Open \windows\system32\ieframe.dll in a resource editor. Edit UIFILE\20481. The first chunk of XML, the element block, contains an attribute called sheet. Change this value from StyleXP to StyleLH. Save the file, and replace in your dllcache and system32 directories. :ninja: Edited July 31, 2005 by Sticktron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 nice find, looks out of place in the screenshot but paired with a nice LH theme this could look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUTZIFER Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Cool. Well doesn't look to well with regular XP Luna Blue VS, but I bet it looks awsome with a Longhorn style VS. I think I'm gonna fiddle with that file and see what else can be done, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailer Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I don't have a resource editor... someone wanna send me the modified .dll? hit me up on msn thailer79@msn.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y_notm Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 (edited) This would probably work in Vista as well, as the setting is "StyleXP" in Vista as well. I'd try it but I don't really feel like trying to get around the new WFP in Vista right now. Edit: tested in Vista, it works well :) Edited July 31, 2005 by y_notm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted July 31, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 31, 2005 The tabs look nice, but they don't fit the theme unless you're using a longhorn theme and the grey background of the tab bar looks a little eh. Good find, nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
