How do I make my OWN theme for XP ?

Kedzi · 07-24-2008

Hey guys, I have spent like an hour looking for a way to make a theme for Windows XP but I didn't found anything other than downloading programs like SkinStudio, WB, etc... I saw at several places that I can edit a .msstyle using resHacker, but I don't know how to use my new images... Help me please, I really want to make a theme for my cp

I use stylebuilder, but the trial is a bit short. then I just kinda, well you know, unspeakable-thing'd it.

Kedzi · 07-24-2008

I know what you mean

I am using ResHacker right now, I have learn a bit

I have saved at least 30 images to edit to make my theme

I don't have any inspiration right now... Any ideas ? I am thinking about a dark theme

I can also make one that looks like my channel

(click on my sig)

If you have any suggestions, post them here PLEASE ! ! ! ! !

Edit:
I am editing the Royale Noir Theme

It's cool and dark so I can keep some graphics from it

Here is what I made so far

-Window appearence

-Glossy start button

I am nearly done with the taskbar: Just need to find the bmp for that tasklist =/

Tomorrow I will probably make the User Panel and the icons such as Maximizing/close/minimize,etc...

Screenies

Okay

But I can't find the tasklist's bmp

Bump

Done:
-Complete new Start Panel
-Taskbar

This is what it looks like now

The only thing remaining is to make the icons of the window and the icons where the window are minimized =/

looks cool! nice work!

Thats a really slick theme. I wish it were for vista :/

Kedzi · 07-26-2008

Well... I am sure you could use it for Vista, it's just complicated to patch the .dll so you are able to use non-signed Microsoft themes...

if you want the fulll stylebuilder, i reqested it on warezvb

so you have it longer and without that stupid message
