Consider donating at Patreon! - My first patron can decide on a Rainmeter skin or Windows 7 theme for me to make next! (W8 / 8.1 / 10 ports are currently not guaranteed)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A theme inspired by Borderlands for Windows 7.
This time a more detail rich and less simple theme.

Trying to get it ported on Windows 8 / 8.1.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the package you will find:

The visual style
Navigation icons - explorerframe.dll
Clock - timedate.cpl
Shell style - shell32.dll
Start orbs
Custom icon pack and template
Iconpackager pack
Wallpaper (might get changed later)

Planning to add:

Port to Windows 8 / 8.1
Alternate taskbars
Dock icons
Cursors
Rainmeter suite
Installer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The theme is free to download!
The premium content is a way to support me / donate.

If you like my work and want to see more, or support the making you can donate via PayPal at yorgash@mailbox.hu.

Installation guide (step by step):

IMPORTANT!
You must first patch your system in order to use custom Visual Styles.
To do so download and install UxStyle . If UxStyle doesn't work for you, UltraUXTheme Patcher or Universal Theme patcher will probably work.

This tutorial is great to get a hang of using 3rd party visual styles, though there 's also some excess information in it you might not need.

If for some reason your uxtheme.dll patch doesn't succeed (gives you the "classic shell" with only the color theme / cursors / wallpaper applied):

Download Universal Theme Patcher, restore the files it can restore, then reinstall UxStyle. If this doesn't help either, you can try running command prompt (as admin), and typing in

sfc /scannow

to restore system files. It might take a little while more. Reinstall UxStyle. Then proceed to installing either manually, or using the 7TSP installer.

1.1. Installing the Visual Style manually (after UxStyle is installed):

- Extract the archive (28MB). Install the font from the Font folder first.

- Copy the contents of the Themes folder to your \Windows\Resources\themes folder.

- You can apply the them from the Personalize menu of Windows, or double-clicking the .theme file.

1.2. For the start orb:

Use Start Orb Changer v5 and the .png file inside the archive's \Start Orb folder

1.3. Changing system files:

Help on taking ownership of a file

Video help

Take ownership of the following files listed.

32-bit:
Windows\system32\timedate.cpl
Windows\system32\explorerframe.dll
Windows\system32\shell32.dll

64bit:
Windows\system32\timedate.cpl
Windows\system32\explorerframe.dll
Windows\sysWoW64\explorerframe.dll*
Windows\system32\shell32.dll

*: Optional. Only seen in rare cases (like browse... when saving a file).

- shell32.dll, timedate.cpl:
Rename the original shell32.dll to shell32_backup.dll, timedate.cpl to timedate_backup.cpl then simply copy my version over. Take care to copy the right version - x64 for 64 bit systems, x86 for 32 bit systems. Mishandling shell32.dll can lead to system hangs!

- explorerframe.cpl:
For 32bit systems, do the same as above just with \Windows\system32\explorerframe.dll.
For 64bit users, you will not only need to change the explorerframe.dll inside system32 folder, but also the one inside SysWoW64 folder!

2.1 Changing icons:

The icons are located inside the archive's "Icons" folder. You'll need the .ico format first and foremost (the .png format is for docks and stuff).

You can change the taskbar icons following this guide , or using Taskbar Items Pinner.

2.2 Explorer windows' icons

For the explorer windows, you can use Stardock's Iconpackager (5.00 is recommended instead of 5.10), and the iconpack inside the Icons\IP folder of the archive. Or you can just run IconPackager and build your own iconpack using the .ico files in above link.
