[tha.punkie]

Hi guys, first of all this theme is not by me but Im modding it to resemble 5720 (Aero Express/Basic Theme). Im in the process for granting the permission to release it. Tell me what u think and feel free to comment or to add input on things u like/dislike that needed to be change. ;)

Here's the original Vista Aero Basic on 5270 for comparison

will include icon'ed version of the startmenu as well as non user pic startmenu :D

[EGM92]

looks nice, but just out of curiosity will the "Start Search" engine work? lol

If not I'd get rid of it, I like the display picture though and the highlight blue is nice also. Not digging the new start button though, I like the classic button better

[edgarf28]

make it in windowblinds 5 and add a glass substyle!

and u're my king!

[dreamon]

captions buttons must be smaller and user pic bigger

The progress bars are green not blue. If you have the 5270 png's just switch the green ones for the blue. They are the same size. If you don't have them PM me and I can send them to you.

HOW TO REMOVE THE TEXT OF LOGOFF & SHUTDOWN IN START MENU

1-Get ResHacker or ResEditor (I made it with ResHacker)

2-When you got ResHacker or ResEditor go to File -> Open [Archivo -> Abrir (In Spanish)]

then browse in your %root% disk (Usualy C:\) and then go to your Windows Folder (usualy C:\Windows\) and open explorer.exe.

3+ Go to the key: String Table >> 46 >> and click the resource: 3082

|- Delete the lines : 730 and 731.

|- Then press the button: Compile Script (or something like this... My ResHacker is in Spanish)

4+ Go to the key: String Table >> 439 >> and click the resource: 3082

|- In the line: 7012 and delete the words: Shutdown and LogOff (with the "&" too, but dont remove the "|"). Do the same in the line: 7013.

5- Go to File -> Save As... and save the file in your desktop or another Folder with the name explorer.exe(DO NOT SAVE IN "C:\Windows\" cuz you need the original explorer.exe file for the uninstallation).

Now you have edited the explorer.exe. Let to replace the file:

Open an explorer window [press WindowsKey + E; Open "My Computer"]

then go to Tools -> Folder Options. Go to View tab, and uncheck : "Hide known files extention" or something like this. Press Aply and then Press Ok.

Now go to: C:\Windows\ and locate the file explorer.exe and remane it for explorer.exe.old and place here the edited explorer.exe.

Wait a few seconds and cancle all Windows Protection dialogs. Then Restart and... Voila :D

How to Uninstall it

Only Go to C:\Windows\ and rename the file: explorer.exe to explorer.exe.mod then rename the explorer.exe.old to explorer.exe. And you have uninstalled the changes :D

Note: Do this under its responsibility. I do not become person in charge of any damage that this can cause to you. Follow the steps so and as it is explained to you.
