[TR1GG3R]

[krejziba]

i forgot to tell you, you also need a folder called shell, so i put shellstyle.dll in a folder blue1, which i put into shell folder which goes in your focus folder...

[TR1GG3R]

tried it but still dont wanna work :/

[gigatexel]

tried it but still dont wanna work :/

Make a folder named Shell in your Focus folder then make 2 more folders inside the Shell folder named NormalColor and Blue1, copy the shellstyle.dll file into both of those folders and it should work.

jromo, can you change the font on the tabs from Tahoma to Hooge so that it matches the rest of the vs? One of my favorite visual styles btw. :)

jrmo,

I get a "Value creation failed ..." with this style when I try to run the "Add/Remove Programs" applet.

I like your styles very much. I prefer "bump" over this so may I ask for a shellstyle for "bump"?

yes, i?ve experienced the same problem... it seems the problem is with applying shellstyles with xp sp1....

here?s a way to correct it (link)

Fixing the dreaded "Parser Message: Value creation failed " at line 472" error. This is a problem with the file shellstyle.dll, which is included in most visual styles. Use the following steps to fix the problem: 1.) Go to your /WINDOWS/Resources/Themes directory, or wherever you may have your themes located.

2.) Go into the directory of the theme your currently using.

Example: Using 'Semplice' by KoL? Navigate to /WINDOWS/Resources/Themes/Semplice

3.) Go into the folder called 'Shell" within the previous directory.

4.) Inside you'll find a folder with a file called 'shellstyle.dll' inside. Now remember the name of the theme your using? (Example: Semplice). You need to rename this folder from Shell to the name of the theme your currently using. If you don't know the exact name, go to Display Properties, and try to Display/Show the theme, the name you see in Display Properties is the name you need to change the 'Shell' folder to.

Example: Using Semplice as an example, the Shell folder for that theme is called 'Shell', in this situation you'll need to rename the folder to 'Semplice'. Easy enough, right?

Note that for multi-part themes, aka themes with more than one variation or color, you'll need to rename each corresponding 'Shell' folder to what is displayed in Display Properties when you try to apply the theme.

5.) Now that you've changed the 'Shell' folder name to correspond with the visual styles name, reapply the theme.

6.) Go to Add/Remove Programs, and voila!

[fangtu]

can anyone answer my question?

[drahnier]

can anyone answer my question?

fangtu,

I think you have to create an appropriate font link in the registry.

Check HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\FontLink.

I once had the same problem with a Japanese VS which showed very ugly fonts on my English XP. This VS provided a registry tweak that fixed it but I don't have this any longer so I can not give you a more precise advise.
