Need some help in achieving this look!
Thursday, November 21, 2013 by jhoonGL | Discussion: OS Customization
I need a little help to get some things back in my new w7 setup.
This is the XP look i'm striving for - http://s24.postimg.org/mgwihvqyt/xpexplorer1.png
This is what i've done so far in w7:
- got the Luna Metallic Port to Win7Aero
- Installed classic shell
- Changed the default explorer folder open and closed icons by adding string 3 and 4 here : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons
- Installed 7+ Taskbar Tweaker
- Installed T-Clock 2010
--------------------
This is how it looks so far - Windows7 custom look
Can someone edit for me the luna metalic port (non aero), or teach me how to do it to get the following changes?
1. On xp, the taskbar has white font on selected button and black font on deselected one. On this theme, the font is black for both states - http://s23.postimg.org/j0hxitu1n/7taskbarexploericons.png Can i have this "black/white" behavior?
2. Under the taskbar buttons there is a row of pixels that are left and right clickable, very annoying when you quickly move the mouse on various buttons - http://s22.postimg.org/qnxhew9m9/w7clickunderbuttons.png Can the theme be edited to make that row of pixel disappear and have the buttons clickable even when the mouse is on the lowest possible point?
3. The font used for the taskbar buttons is slightly different. 7font - http://s22.postimg.org/tpsv2lc4x/W7fontcolor.png ; xp font - http://s9.postimg.org/3y4f2tiov/image.png Can the theme be edited to use the exact xp font?
4. When i delete a file or folder, xp looks like this - http://s16.postimg.org/3pasfalud/xpdeletemenu.png , 7 like this - http://s21.postimg.org/5vlpymu6v/7deletemenu.png How can i get the xp smaller look in 7?
5. On xp, icons for file extensions that don't have a program associated with them look like this - http://s15.postimg.org/b46i3llk7/xpdefaultunknownicon.png , win7 has this white one - http://s16.postimg.org/924875z4l/defaulticon7.png How to change to xp style?
Thanks in advance for any help!
