Media Center Beta (danimators)

[Lewkwarm]

SPaCe, can you make your version of the theme with another font please?  :blush:

Can do! any ideas on which one??

personally, i'd like the title bars as is, but i'd think everything else would look better with tahoma, not bolded.

[PHROZTEDcoolerguy]

ahh, thats why.. I'll be sure to create one for that res for ya.

Im going to be making a 1024x768, 1152x768, and a 1280x960. 1280x1024, is already made.

could u please make a 1600x1200 one... why doesnt anyone here use that resolution besides me and danimator? :(

[PHROZTEDcoolerguy]

Update:

Changed back to round tasktray,color tweaks, start menu tweaks, etc...still only for 1600x1200.

Geesh the other theme is starting to look more and more like mine ;)

[Deron Dantzler]

My desktop running Danimator's MCE modified for 1280x1024(960) and XERO's tray / Active desktop. (Not a fan of my original curved tray that danimator now implements as it doesn't have the shadow effect.) I am however working on a curved chevroon+tray w/ shadow effect.

[Danimator]

Press The Green Button

I was fiddling around in explorer.exe with resource hacker and the pic below is the result....

Notice the baloon popup when mouse is on Start button says Press The Green Button instead

of the old and boring Click here to begin. It is simple really just open explorer.exe in resource

hacker go to the view menu choose find text and enter click here to begin. Then it will navigate

to the found text and highlight it. I replaced the text with Press The Green Button and clicked compile.

Then saved the explorer to a temp space on hdd like drive d: for example. and then run task manager

end task for explorer navigate to c:\windows\system32\dllcache and replace the present explorer.exe

with your new one (MAKE SURE TO BACKUP ORIGINAL FILE FIRST) then navigate to c:\windows and

replace the explorer.exe with your new one aswell. Now select the new one in c:\windows and hit ok

and it will load. Place your mouse over the start button and viola. If you get a windows system

file protection popup click cancel.

Good Luck :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:

Here is fullscreen img....

[jackwanders]

Hey Iceman...is that an active desktop you have at the bottom of your post, or is it just a static image?

[Makki]

static image man it is my sig :)

[jackwanders]

no, what I meant was...oh let me start over.

Is your sig a screenshot of your desktop?

If so, is that an active desktop you have running, or is it just a static background?

[Makki]

ahh no not me dtop screen but a modified pic from media center website

although my dtop screenie is an active dtop like that yes. But i changed it waiting for the 1024 version

[Danimator]

Which scroll bars you guys like better? One of these 2 new ones or the originals like in my earlier screenshots?

[Makki]

the one on the left the other doesnt fit with theme

[Deron Dantzler]

Definitely not the one on the right. The one on the left is good, but I think the current scrollbars are better. If I were you I would change the center bar (or indicator or whatever though to something a little more like the one on the left there. Just a solid block that matches the color of the down and up buttons on the current scrollbar. Right now it doesn't seem to be the same color and those little lines are not necessary.

[Danimator]

Theme updated a bit, See first post on first page.

[Danimator]

Update 12/12: ALL RESOLUTIONS now supported. Still might be some bugs in them as i didnt test each one fully yet. See first post for links.

Only 640x480 not supported. Dont know anyone uses it. But 1600x1400 1400x1280 1280x1024 1024x768 800x600 supported.

If theres glitches please post a screen shot as well as which resolution its in, Havent fully tweaked and fixed each one yet.

[KaKao]

You forgot 1152x864 :p

[Nidonocu]

Slight major bug with the new resolutions. :blink:

All the new res's (I'm assuming 1600 was the orignal) arn't calling the StyleShell.dll and leaving the wonderful little side bars in explorer looking very Windows '98y. :/

Excelent theme though ^_^ Can I request a possible future edition to include the option of a Star Menu with the User Icon in? :happy:

[Danimator]

Update 12\15: Added 2 more resolutions (640x480 and 1152x864) and fixed radiobuttons and minor tweaks. if you have trouble with shellstyle not working in other resolutions, copy the shell folder to the root directory of the themes folder, should work fine then.

See first post for screenie and links.

[Danimator]

Opppps bug fixed...shellstyle now works with all resolutions.

[bedneyshields]
