will you make a windows 8 version or can you tell me how to edit it in the resgistry myself?

There's no option in the registry. You have to customize the theme for this -> vistastylebuilder.com/ . I would have made a Windows 8 version if it was simple.

For whatever reason, I'm unable to resize my close button. Doesn't matter what I set the value to, it doesn't seem to do anything. Running it as an administrator doesn't even bring up the initial dialog warning, and even on the one occasion it did, it still won't resize the button.
Similar thing happened with your start orb changer, but I tracked down an older version which seemed to work just fine.
Any ideas? My start button has (for an unknown reason) been resized to the same size the minimize and maximize, and on smaller windows (with only the 'x' button) the width seems to be far too narrow.

It partially works, I can set the values and it changes, but any digits after the comma will have no effect, so I can only change between 1, 2 ,3 ,4 etc.
Might be because of the skin I use (Adobulated), or is this the same behaviour for you?

Nope, this works fine for me and many others. Maybe it is related to your region settings. Does it show a comma instead of a period?

Wait, that's what I wrote as a reply to my own commment
I guess you didn't read it when you wrote this

Yeah. Only your original comment came up in my message center.

Oh, I figured out why it's not working for me. Since I use the German language pack and we use a comma as decimal mark instead of a dot, the conversion is not working correctly, it basically removes all digits after the comma to round it up as a working number. Using a dot as decimal mark is not working though, so what I have to do is change language pack in Windows 7 to english, log off and in again, use your tool (it throws up an error (bug in comma dot conversion I guess), but I can proceed), change the decimal to 1.4, apply (works), then change language again back to German.
Kind of an annoying workaround, could you look into your great tool and see if you can catch the kind of decimal mark and eventually convert it?

Thank you so much! After installing a couple of custom themes, my close button suddenly became smaller, and this application just saved it
Your work is seriously great, so many useful applications.

Please update this so it works with aero-blur disabled, it's really annoying for some of the win7 themes that look terrible with blur on.
Otherwise thanks for your great work that has made win7 modding so convenient.

Works Well, however when I first installed all the icons in the tray became majorly blurred this was however fixed after a restart and now appears fine. I am actually using this tool to size my close button back up to normal size, I was mucking around with my computers settings and without noticing somehow changed the size of the close button smaller... If anyone knows how to fix this problem without this too it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Z.C.

Since you are such a help to the themeing community do you think you could also make an app that centers titlebar text? This is a great app and i was actually searching for something exactly like this because im making a windows 8 theme and the caption button close has changed size, and its kind of impossible to resize it without something like this.

You sure? Somehow [link] makes me believe it might be possible
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I will try my best to develop it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
sorry but thats impossible, except on a basic theme since it's possible there
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
This program would be more helpful if you could change the size of the other buttons, too.
Is it possible to change the Win key width?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
in win7 home premium, go to Desktop Personalization window -> Window color -> Advanced appearance settings and find the buttons from dropdown menu, then increase as u like.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
besides failing with no-blur, it is a useless tool since one could easily resize close button by using Advanced Appearance Settings. hope for something more interesting in the future...
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
You can't change the width of the close button in Advanced Appearance Settings.

this only works for basic theme

This is definitely a keeper <3 but does this also work in Basic themes?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
no it doesn't, fails with no-blur and is unstable

Oh, well thanks for letting me know.
I've been able to use this fine with my Windows 7 Professional, though!
Guess my Windows 7 Starter will miss out on this one, though.
Thanks

and it's not a rip of CBC?
since I'm the only one that had permission from ave until now I think...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
how did you do it?also used programs by ave?
or you coded it yourself and it means that it works with no-blur?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Check the description.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
and since you have no VSB license you ripped the files from my CBC app?
and this app was NOT meant for everyday use since it's not stable...
