Artist's Comments

Eliminating the ProperTree ExpandoSizer line that exist on the down side of the navigation pane near explorer's 'Foders', changing some parameters on shellstyle.dll.
please see picture.

open your vista visual style.
then open shell, NormalColor, shellstyle.dll.

open shellstyle.dll with resource hacker.
select uifile/1/1033 .
select View, Find Text and writte : height="4rp"

[it is a parameter of "atom(ProperTreeExpandoSizer)]<Sizer background="themeable(ARGB(0, 0, 0, 0), buttonface)" />

[press F3 and] work with the last one you find.

there is a line like this:

if id="atom(ProperTreeExpandoSizer)"><Sizer background="buttonface" bordercolor="solid" borderthickness="rect(0rp,1rp,0rp,1rp)" height="4rp"


replace the:

<Sizer background="buttonface" bordercolor="solid" borderthickness="rect(0rp,1rp,0rp,1rp)" height="4rp" />

with :

<Sizer background="themeable(ARGB(0, 0, 0, 0), buttonface)" />


Then for making not visible the letters of 'FOLDERS' on the down side of Navigation pane we search for :

<if id="atom(ProperTreeHeader)">

so you can see

</if>
<if id="atom(ProperTreeHeader)">
<Element background="argb(0,0,0,0)" contentalign="middleleft" padding="rect(9rp, 0rp, 0rp, 0rp)" />
</if>
<if id="atom(ProperTreeHeaderExpand)">
<Button background="themeable(dtb(PROPERTREE, PTP_FOLDERSHEADER, FHS_NORMAL), window)"
foreground="themeable(argb(255, 0, 51, 153), windowtext)"
padding="rect(0rp, 6rp, 0rp, 5rp)"

replace this as :

</if>
<if id="atom(ProperTreeHeader)">
<Element background="argb(0,0,0,0)" contentalign="middleleft" padding="rect(9rp, 0rp, 0rp, 0rp)" />
</if>
<if id="atom(ProperTreeHeaderExpand)">
<Button background="themeable(dtb(PROPERTREE, PTP_FOLDERSHEADER, FHS_NORMAL), window)"
foreground="themeable(argb(255, 252, 252, 252), windowtext)"
padding="rect(0rp, 6rp, 0rp, 5rp)"

[we have replaces the 'foreground' which gives the windowtext to the active normal explorer's 'Folders' with a white style color like the background of the surface = 252, 252, 252 color]

then we go to File, BITMAP AND we clik to 121 bmp image we save it somewhere on our pc, we use our favour program for painting [for bmp, HOLDING alpha transparency Gimp is a very good choice] and we paint the blue microsoft button of 'Foldrs' to a white style one.
then we replace the initial one in our shellstyle.dll .

[if we use resource hacker we select Action , Peplace bitmap, open file with a new bitmap,

select the new bmp you have made and the clik to replace. Then save.

Thats it.

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

I have made a microsoft aero style visual style for downloading with shellstyle.dll repaced parameters, [having made also internal borders , see how [link] ].

You can change and customize more images to make it look like you preffer.

Made in H E L L A S (= Greece ).

Inspired by ZEUS.

Reminds me of a theme where you can slide the top bar closed. Lost it when I formatted my computer and haven't been able to find it again.

Ευχαριστω, Γιαννη και Βαγια.

Επιτελους τα Παραθυρα θα απεικονιζονται πιο συμμετρικα και ομορφα.
:iconzeusosx:
thank you.
Now the vista visual style wil look more symmetric and 'cleaner'.
:iconzeusosx:
if you mean the autohiding of the folderband [green color toolbal on picture], this happened to most of my themes, as i have changed them for hiding it.
Anyway you can do yourself:
open shellstyle.dll with resource hacker.
select uifile/1/1033 .
Search For:
<style resid="FolderBandStyle">

so you find:
<style resid="FolderBandStyle">
<Element
background="argb(0, 0, 0, 0)"

Replace this to look like <style resid="FolderBandStyle">
<if mousefocused="false" mousewithin="false"><Element padding="rect(0rp,0rp,0rp,-31rp)"/></if>
<Element
background="argb(0, 0, 0, 0)"

[you can set also different than -31 number, forexample -29]

Then save it.

If its not so ease use some of my themes
:iconvathanx:
That's a nice find... :thumbsup:
But I still wait for Vista Style Builder :)
:icondm-moinmoin:

*offtopic*
