invalidbuffalo Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 bfoons: You're right. The values are all the same. I just didnt know how to use my hex editor. Now I do. Thanks, des! I have been able to change all those colors :). Is it possible to change the black graph backgrounds? By the way, how in the world did you pinpoint the offsets where the colors would be defined? Thanks again. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/408836-changing-windows-task-manager-graph-colors/page/2/#findComment-588237039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dis Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 just did a search for each color codes (in hex) and changed it. (in a hexeditor) then i checked what color changed ....and so on... :cool: btw i tried with disassembler too, but didnt find any codes for this. graph backgrounds? i dont know. maybe..but there are too many "000000" (black) instances in the hex code.. :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/408836-changing-windows-task-manager-graph-colors/page/2/#findComment-588241943 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if I look at dialog/108 with reshack could anything about the graph "control" (1006 for PF graph, 1075 for CPU graph) tell me where to look for the color? Is there another way im not thinking of to use reshacker to help me find them? thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/408836-changing-windows-task-manager-graph-colors/page/2/#findComment-588242615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
invalidbuffalo Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) OK I have some time to kill. I'm going to edit each instance, one at a time, of 000000 to say FFFFFF and see if it makes the graph turn white. If not, change it back and try the next instance... BTW Heres mine so far...

invalidbuffalo Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 Is it more likely that the RGB hex defining the graph background color is alone by itself in the hex code or is it just as likely to be inside a long strand of 0's?

dis Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 i think you should look for like this: "28FA6D3D8200000027FA6D3D8C00" instead of this: "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/408836-changing-windows-task-manager-graph-colors/page/2/#findComment-588252255 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also found a pattern when dealing with colors. In every instance you found a color, the RGB hex is always followed by "00." So I figure I'd try looking for the black background in the instances of "00000000" instead of "000000." This narrows it down to 2841 instances. Hopefully it's one of them. I have also discovered a couple interesting new task manager mods along the way... First, at 000066AE, changing 000000 to FFFFFF will make everything inside the performance tab be in its own little window within the task manager form. Another interesting one is at 00014A71, change 000000 to FFFFFF to make the bargraphs background (just the dark green lines) disappear (replacing the dark green bar with a black box would do the same thing). If anyone is interested in helping me find the black background, let me know. If I could get a few people to coordinate and each go through a portion of the hex we could find the background color a lot faster than just one person going through thousands of instances.

BaXT3R Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 hello, me also, I do not include/understand how to change the colors I have to test with an editor hexa I do not have the same number that you I will want to put it in blue 15 days trial is what someone can say to me precisely how to make or would be nice enough for me to do it Is not easy ...... thanks in advance all guys Best regards sorry for my english , i'm french Joint: rapidshare link taskmgr french original taskmgr french Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/408836-changing-windows-task-manager-graph-colors/page/2/#findComment-589293161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
