Windows' windows

Hi

Recently, 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.

Thanks

Aphis

so do you want to change the skin of FireFox or of WindowsXP?

if you want to change the skin of FireFox,

try using Skins [ this one is the one you use, right?]

if you want to change the skin of WindowsXP,

try using XPize

but if you dont like these mayor changes, try patching your uxtheme.dll file from your Windows/system32 folder:

this file doesnt work properly in Windows XP and Windows Media Center, you can changing this by using a [safe!] patch

to get a save patch, look here

tell me if you want to do something else > we are here to help you
