IonAphis Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 HiRecently, after a heavy heavy update on AstonShell's part in their new version, I've decided to go back to the original explorer.exe style. Obviously I wanted a few changes. And so I updated and changed my Firefox theme to a more modern one.The problem is, I really liked the new design, and I wanted all my windows to look like that. I've searched everywhere online, but whenever i put "Change Window's Explorer Background" or "Change Window Background" it gives me a 5 step solution to changing my Desktop Wallpaper. To clarify on my problem, I uploaded this image, and caught firefox before it loaded a tab to show exactly what I mean.Notice the scroll bar (not shown here) color and the tabs color, as well as the status bar are all tanned, while the toolbar is a bluish gray. I want the whole lot of firefox to be the one single bluish gray color. So I did some research and noticed that the color comes from the explorer. So in order to change that, I must change all of the windows colors. Not a problem for me, I really like it.Going around online I found a way to put a background image to my toolbar, which only makes my window toolbar look like firefox's toolbar, but does not change the background of the window, the scroll bars or the status bar. I'd like that fixed, can anyone tell me how to do it. Any help would be much apreciated.ThanksAphis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 I rather like the Zune theme. It is black, with an orange start button. Very sharp.http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75078 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
