Hi Zeus 

I know you retired from windows customisation here and maybe won't answer , I respect that.

I'm also customizing windows system OS W10 , for my personal use now and I 'd like to know how you get commandbar not covering treeview layout as you did. I mean is there a simple way to do that without modding too much code in shellstyle. I tried several changes in vain.
Other than that you are very skilled and your work very nice . I can't imagine myself how many hours days months you spent to achieve such things ! 

oh I think we are close in the age.. born in 60's 
Best regards

Give a screenshot of what you want to make and where.
------
Ιt's a matter of settings/parameters to the shell32 part that must added to shellstyle.dll(and the use of oldnewexplorer=so to be activated this added shell32_uifile code),  in order and to add the folderband=commandbar code.


I don't use win 10, so I am not sure if I can help you---->but i will use the code of the only theme i did on past for 10, supposing that will work.

Hi Zeus and many thanks to your kindness for help.

I myself made custom visual styles and I'm completely stucked with something I thought you could be the one to find out how to. 

Here is a screen of the part I'd like to locate but I've search many weeks in vain. 

The pink part as treeview ( navigation pane or systreeview ) of explorer . I don't have any idea how to get rid of that to put some picture of my own.

This is an old pb posted too on style builder forums and doesn't seem to be in shell32.dll file . This argb background sure exists but where ? 

Btw , I already had some help to know how to mod the commandbar like I asked you so it's now ok . Thanks anyway. 

Here is a screen of what I'm looking for .

no, needed construction of all code of Treeview. Someone on past  replaced the code of the 52 shell32_uifile with that of 9 shell32_uifile so he made the treview of vista in which at the top part you could add an image. have a look---->  www.vistastylebuilder.com/foru…

So perchaps could be if I could remade all the code, or adding a new ' condition'  parameter that doew not exist and the system may accept it. Its difficult and neeeded time and luck for this..

Mykou In reply to ZEUSosX [2019-09-03 16:53:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Zeus I was already aware of that yes . Pb is to remove completely that part as treeview background to put a custom pic . 
If only we could find where this setting is located in windows OS to play with .

Yes difficult I for now left this idea .

Hi ZEUSosX!!, only one thing if you knew... how can i align the details pane info to the left like windows 8 details pane [link] , because in windows 7 is centered (you know what i mean?) and other thing, did you know how can i change the color background of status bar?
thanks for all!! i know i'm maybe a little annoying.. bye i'll wait your answer!!...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ZEUSosX In reply to Matadeiro-ML [2012-09-05 16:11:46 +0000 UTC]

statusbar on win 7 is an image so if you use windows style builder you can easily find it.
on win 8 it is a parameter in shell32.dll but if u change shell32.dll on win 8 the system restore to a previous status via automaticaly system restore.
[i could find a kind of solution with not using shell32 though i dislike windows 8 and i do not care about]

about the details pane info align to the left, its possibly a parameter like layoutpos="left" but i have not search it.

Hi! ZEUSosX (Pavlos Pitselas)

I wonder if it is possible do this [link] , instead of this [link] .
Also I want to know how can I change the black background in folder preview [link] . Can you help me, please?.
I'm using the shell32.dll from your theme (ZEUS os X sp1 for Windows 7 32bit) if you just could change it I will thank you,
I was trying to do it but I can't make it and I'm afraid; I don't want to break my OS.
Please!!!

i have already made on past the propertree to the right part of the explorer if you have seen to my gallery, it is Dios Afi - Zeus Touch [link]

as for the black color it is better not to use other.
microsoft as also apple, in some points they do the same because of more seriouw reasons as for those simple users imagine.

if i remeber microsoft code did a black line or shadow [i have forgot what excactly as this i made 1 year before] so the black background it is a good solution to this kind of modification ---> ofcourse it is possible that the problem with the black line could be solved, but i dont want to spent some months more, as those kind of modifications i did needed many millions failed experiments for be done, for find the right conditions that will work to any pc with no problem.

thanks for answer me!! , the Dios Afi - Zeus Touch has the preview pane to the top, i would like have it on the bottom and move upwards to enlarge and folderband always visible on the top. I'll keep the black background if you say so!, i hope you'll see the note i sent you where is the details pane with the icon on the bottom and the information on the top [link] if you could do it please let me know i would like to have that interface , i'll thank you forever if you could help me!!...

restart your system. go to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes select a theme and apply it. if it works this had happened because uxcore application, the application that enables 3rd party themes working to windows, sometimes stopped working.

if even after this no theme applied then go to Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features uninstall the uxcore application, restart , install again uxcore application , restart, and then go to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes select a theme and apply it. this happened very rare ----> why? because some microsoft updates, replaced some dll or informations that this application is applied to our system.

also see if the themes have copied to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
so Copy all the folders included in the folder 'Macos X Themes by ZEUSosx' [after unzip all files, and copy them to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes ,provided C is your Windows drive).

if you still have problem writte again

the problem with black themes is that needed a lot of work , too much menu's needed edited-also text color etc i can't explain this with 2 words, try to edit the shellstyle.dll, so as for a start, for having black background, and also add there white text. but as i said it needs alot of editting.

Hi

i really love your themes, but because my small memory (ram) the theme make my system slow,
but i really like the right navigation panel, so could build an shell32.dll with just the right navigation panel and left preview panel and without any other stuff inside the shell32.dll

as i tried just to use your shell32.dll without installing your other files and it gives me a blank explorer window (all of them are blank, my computer window, save as dialog, etc)

i will really appreciate it if you built a clean shell32.dll
thank you

btw i'm using windows 7 x64 sp1

on past i have given permissions for wallpapers to some student of university, using them to their university works or for some persons using the wallpapers to their personal web site.

but to all other works, and mainly i mean the themes , i do not give permissions.

last permission i have given (for designing elements) recently is to djtransformer01 [link] but this exception accepted with the ΤΕΡΜ that anytime i want to take it down, then he will.

by changing parameters to shell32.dll

its not simple. its very difficult.

think this: for be possible to be this [in windows 8] microsoft's work to add new code to the system.
i did with the old windows 7 code i had but as i say its very very complicated and difficult to be made.
