Unrestrained Windows customization

Without the use of third-party tools to customize the design of Windows, you can change little. Change your desktop wallpaper, the color of a single system to be applied to the taskbar, window titles, "Start" menu ... And yet. Rare of themes from Microsoft contain themed sound schemes. This topic contains a variety of methods and tools for deeper customization of Windows.

Introduction

I think many of you are tired of the standard "windows xp style". Many use programs to change the type of design.style XPorWindows blindsand some are generally waiting for Windows Vista because it is more beautiful. Many tried to download styles for Windows xp (* .msstyles), but they could not be installed, and we had to install style managers that slow down the OS load. But there ispatch which can facilitate the installation of styles, while with the established styles your Win XP will not be slower than with the standard theme. The patch replaces the standard uxtheme.dll files with its own ones, which allow the use of third-party styles.

Patch

1. Runuxtheme.exe.
2. We look, if the information about the OS that the patch shows is correct, click "patch".
* If the patch says that there are windows NT installation files in the I386 folder, go to C: / WINDOWS / and find the I386 folder "cut" it and paste it, for example, in the root of drive C. After that, repeat everything from step 1 again, after step 3, return the folder back.
3. Restart the computer, this can be done directly by pressing the corresponding button in the patch itself.
4. Now, just double-click the left mouse button on any * .msstyles file to open the screen settings with a preview of the style that you want to apply.

Editing styles.

msstyles file is renamed dll, so change the file extension to msstyles to open dll and dll reshacker'om (in atache). The folders, if you want to change any graphic element of the theme, then open the bitmap folder and appeared subfolders are looking for the file you want, do a right click and save the file after you change it, it's all the same reshacker again, do a right click on the file you retain and hit replace, in poyavmvshemsya menu, select the file that you want to replace your current one and click replace.

Images should have the following parameters:
bmp format
24-bit color depth
If initially the element you want to replace was transparency, then it is better to leave it in a new one, the color responsible for transparency is 255.0.255 RGB.



If you want to lay out your style here, then there are certain rules:

The style should not be identical to any other previously laid out style.
The style should not contain pictures or elements (for example, the start menu background) of pornographic content or a swastika.
the size of the screenshot should be no more than 500 pixels on the larger side.
It is better to give a link to the style download page, but if you don’t remember where it was downloaded, post it as your IMG, and then I upload it to ftp and you can remove it from your image catalog.

This topic will contain styles for Windows XP, so far I’ll post trial 15 pieces +high-end vista wallpaper pack.

! In the subject only laying out styles and discussion of problems associated with their installation and editing. There should be no flood and hollywars like "I hate prettiness" here!
if you decide to unleash an offtop here, I will not even talk to you, I will immediately let the administration know ...

kozhura ,
Um ... Aston is very brutally removed, demolishing half of the windows. It replaces half of the dll with its own (due to which it does not slow down), but does not return them when removed to its place. So a one-way ticket that is not gud.

With the removal, too, there were no problems. Crookedly demolished only crookedly crooked versions or versions with a fake license. Most likely comrade. PETKIN is precisely on such a run.

The problem is that Aston has so crookedly retired in me that when I removed it, I did not return the standard Windows skin :)

Samurize - A program for monitoring system resources and outputting current data - processor load, free RAM, hard disk space, etc. - right on the desktop and / or tray
In addition, the home page contains a lot of tiny additions for this program, allowing you to display on the desktop the most diverse information - news, weather forecast, TV program, calendar, etc. etc.

Serios samurize

Serios Samurize is a powerful free and Russified utility to monitor a variety of parameters for your system. In fact, the program is a simplified object-oriented programming language with reference to the desktop. With it can be displayed on your computer's CPU data, the amount of free disk space, temperatures, fan speeds, the network activity and the myriad of other parameters. Any sensor available in your home system, can be included in the "dashboard", collected in Samurize. In addition to the sensor program is able to display the program guide, informer weather, calendar and more. The official website of the program is constantly updated with a list of new "baubles".
The program also provides the broadest possibilities for the design of the output data: it allows you to arrange each specific parameter in different versions (text, graph, histogram, ring-dial), set threshold values ​​for it in the upper and lower ranges, and assign actions to be performed when these values ​​intersect ; allows the use of graphic files of common formats as backgrounds and backdrops, supports layers and transparency effects.
As an output area, Samurize can use the entire surface of the desktop, the area of ​​the system tray and the clock, and the “screen saver”. Also included with the program are plug-ins for Winamp and WMP, allowing you to read all the data about the track being played and the status of the player for further use.
The work of the program with memory is very interesting: the number of resources consumed by the client depends not only on the number of sensors used and “beautiful”, but on the frequency of their updates. If it seems to you that too many “brains” are spent on maintaining Samurize, just move the slider in the update speed settings a couple of tick marks, and the free memory will immediately increase.
The program is a modular design that includes the server, client and configurator.

Configurator is just the basic Samurize working environment. The contents of its windows is quite reminiscent of the work environment of visual programming language such as C ++ or VB. There is also a work area with a grid (this is in fact the surface of our desktop), which laid out the components of our image sensors. On the left is an area of ​​customization and editing specific selected design element. To the right is a list of all the design elements of the project. People who are not familiar with programming languages, may at first glance to decide that the program is too complex to manage, but I assure you that this is not so. Skills in writing scripts and command units need only to create a highly advanced panel, and projects the baseline can create any person without any special skills.
The assembled project is saved in a small-ini file. It is very convenient to exchange panels, since the file sizes of even a very large project, as a rule, do not exceed 200 kilobytes. If you have created something completely unique and want to share it with the others, you need to lay out only “ini-shku” and your unique graphic backdrops.

The second part of the program is the client. It is resident in memory and provides the output panel on the desktop. By clicking on the client's icon, you can quickly select and replace a new panel, change its location settings, and so on.
I do not know the purpose of the server, but, as far as I understand, it allows you to collect data from several computers on the local network and output them to the “host” machine.
For a beginner the development of such a powerful and flexible tool can still be difficult, but on the Internet at the moment, there are many sites, including in Russian devoted to this wonderful program. On the websites of enthusiasts place step by step tutorials and lessons for the study of Samurize, learn how to write scripts and create their own small components that can be assembled into a complete project later. Samurize is good that all the work of other people can use to create your panels, simply by importing whole or in part in a foreign project, and then edit it on your own.

Link to the program: Serios Samurize 1.64.3 (freeware) 5.15 Mb:http://www.samurize.com/modules/mydownload...?cid=1&lid=2074
Russian Language File:http://www.samurize.com/modules/mydownload...cid=15&lid=1818
Official site:http://www.samurize.com

If this topic arouses interest among members of the forum, then I will post several of my own and others' articles on developing the skills of using Samurize and making unpretentious indicators. I also ask other forum “samuraiszovods” (there are probably a lot of them) to supplement and support this topic.
