Niicce !! , i don't know why it doesn't working with me :"(
i installed the patch then i followed ur instructions but it doesn't work ! @_@"
maybe i made something wrong , but .. i really don't know ^^"

um sorry !! there was some mistakes i fixed it and it works now ^^
but i've still have 1 problem ,there's a file that called" Explorer Frame (advanced users only)", and i read the instructions that said " DO NOT USE IT IF YOU USE A 32-BIT (x86) SYSTEM "
so , what should i do ? my system is 32-bit already

Glad that it now works!
About the .dll files in the "Explorer Frame (advanced users only)" folder, I included them for users with a 64-bit system.
Do not use them with a 32-bit version, and vice-versa, otherwise Windows will stop working due to incompatibility!! ; )
Anyway, if you want to use the modified glyphs on your computer and know how to proceed, you will need to use a resources editor softwares (like 'Restorator 2007' or 'Theme Resource Changer') for modifying your own explorerframe.dll file and then selecting the original .png files included in the 'Source Files' folder in the archive. ^_^

Wonderful Skin! The only thing I'm unable to get working is the top bar of running applications to show the full color, for some reason it's only a little strip. Any ideas?
Here is a screenshot: [link]

These tiny colored top frames only appears if you have turned off the windows drop shadow (these are also 'hidden' variations of this theme ^^).
For re-enabling the shadows and so using the full plain-colored top frame, here is a walkthrough tutorial showing where you can switch them on/off: Removing drop shadow from windows in Windows 7

lovely theme, but I had one really unpleasant experience with it after applying explorerframe.dll. My system went down, crashed after reboot. I had to reinstall my windows, because none recovery tool helped me. Any idea why? And I am no noob in this area, customizing windows for several years now, this happened for the first time. I changed masses of dlls so far.

I don't really know the cause of this problem, hence why I highly don't recommend to directly use the ExplorerFrame.dlls included (I don't know how they can react on others computers) but instead modifying your own explorer frame file with a resources editor software (like 'Restorator 2007') and selecting the original .png files included in the 'Source Files' folder in the archive.
Sorry for the inconvenient caused.

There is even less painful way to change those images. Have you heard about "resource changer" software?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hum no, I've just discovered this software on the CreativX forums after you've mentioned it (never heard of it before, I knew Win 7 Nav Buttons Customizer but it seems that this latter doesn't work properly with x64 SP1).
Thank you a lot for having mentioned this helpful tool!

See Screenshot...

Can you fix this or tell my how i fix this ?

Hello! : ) Are you using any special toolbar in your taskbar (such as folders links, URL address toolbar, or keyboard language indicator)?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I use only the "NetSpeedMonitor" Tool that run in the Taskbar.
so i disable it and it works...thanks for the tip ^^
it is possible that somehow it still runs with the toolbar?
Or should I let them off?
Can you do something there?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Some taskbar tools slightly add few pixels vertically and so may 'break' its layout with some visual styles. :/
As these third-party themes are unofficial, not supported by Microsoft and software developers, these little visual bugs can sometimes happen with some specific apps.
Sorry again. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok, no problem...
Now I know how I can fix it.
I prefer to use your theme instead of the toolbar ^ ^
Thanks for your help

love it!! awesome colors and well made!!
Bug: no status shown in taskbar (ex: copying status...etc) can you fix it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!! ^____^
About the little issue with the taskbar indicators (no progress status and flashing notifications for IM clients), this is due to how I made the taskbar buttons, opaques for hiding the unique-colored effect appearing when hovering the icons. The side effect is that this unfortunately hide the others effects as mentioned.

and that would be awesome if you fix it, that will make it PERFECT
