Good work kel

Donate to Kelsenellenelvian

Any donations will be appreciated and ensure I don't grow tired of building these things.

i kind of saw that coming... what with the way you were going on

You know there are other ppl around that will make these, all you have to do is stop saying you will make them and other ppl will.

Then you won`t have to moan about how long it takes and threaten to stop making them if you get no donations.

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 11:51 pm

I will still keep making them just would like donations and will not mind if I get orders for assloads of them.

Plus it is only for themes and cursors I will still be doing losts of other projects.

Would it be possible to find out exactly what one has to change, and what to change it to in order to make it read as an "official" file?

I ask, as I have some favourite themes, and I'd like to make packs for them myself (thereby saving you the effort Kel).

If I can get them to work properly, I'll also be willing to upload the packs I make for others to use.

Look man i`m not having a go, simply pointing out that at the end of the day you make the decision to do the packs, you have a choice. and so asking for donations for the work you choose to do IMHO is wrong. Knowone`s twisting your arm.
Anyway i`m not saying any more on this your work is appreciated, just relex a bit more and allow other people to do the work if you don`t have time.

btw the problems your having with the theme files is because the maker didin`t correct the checksums, there`s no need to reshack them just use modifype... takes 2 seconds

Peace

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 3:03 pm

I use jcarle's compression bin for all of my files and it does modify the checksum. I am telling you some of the themes still won't work without the reshacknig.

a06 · Post by **a06** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 3:24 pm

yay!
did a real world test, and this theme works great. thanks!

Ok i`ll take your word for it but would you explain exactly what you have to do, and why, also what happens if you don`t. I`m having a hard time understanding and want to learn.

Also there are 12 shellstyle.dll in this theme and you only include 8. I`m currious why.

Nologic · Post by **Nologic** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 7:38 pm

Kelsenellenelvian -

Can some of this stuff simply be automated like with say AutoIt?

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 9:43 pm

ummmmm the one i download only has 8 shellstyles!!! Where did you get yours from???

Xable · Post by **Xable** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 9:48 pm

still curious what and why you reshack?

i downloaded from the link in entries_lunaelement.ini
it`s an installer and looking in themes folder it adds this

Zacam · Post by **Zacam** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 4:19 am

I downloaded the installer directly from Deviant, and the authors page states 4 styles......where are 8 and 12 coming from????

2 Normals (Blue Regular, Blue Compact)
2 Black (Black Normal, Black Compact)

I could see 8, as there is an Alt Start Button version which provides a different Start graphic, but.....there is still _technically_ 4 styles if one is refering to "Color Scheme" as a style.

There are 12 shellstyle.dll for what reason i don`t know i`m no theme expert.

Kel, i`m still waiting for you to explain why you have to reshack the themes to get them to work... what happened can`t you be bothered, did you forget? or are you just full of shit?

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Sun Nov 06, 2005 1:19 am

Forgot sorry in the shellstyle file when you open them with reshacker and open the version section alot of these have been changed by the person who created the theme. Now for some reason if this info in that section does not match the info in the official shellstyles it will refuse to copy it.

What I do to fix it is open one of the Luna shellstyles and copy the version info into clipboard and then open the custom theme shellstyles and replace the version info with exactly the same info in the official .dlls. I have had to do this with a couple of the msstyles files also.

Is that clear enough?

Also will relook at this theme and rebuild it., Thanks.

Xable · Post by **Xable** » Sun Nov 06, 2005 1:23 am

That`s cristal kel, and truly idiot proof. I`m sure future theme addon makers will find that info usefull also.
Thank you.

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Sun Nov 06, 2005 1:28 am

You are welcome I will tell you that was a HUGE bitch to figure out.

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Sun Nov 06, 2005 1:45 am

I can't find one with more than 8 shellstyles.

Xable · Post by **Xable** » Sun Nov 06, 2005 2:04 am

The maker must of had a bad installer up at one point cuz it was 12, just downloaded again and it`s 8! Look
http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=element4tu.jpg
the OLD folder is what was getting installed before, 12 styles and with differant folder names as the current installer.

Ha yeah i could look crazy now, but the proof is in the pic and i wouldn`t kick up a fuss if it wasn`t warented... that`s not in my nature.

I understand the confusion I just went with the newest version I could find.

Thanks Kel for clarifying this. I now have all the information I need to work on some theme/VS addon packs of my own.

Fixed the error.

Xable...LE3 was 12 shellstyles...that's what you're thinking about.

Look at the buttons in the top right corner...LE3 is square...LE4 is like Vista

Xable · Post by **Xable** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 6:27 am

orcoxp... thanxs, i`m not crazy then

there were 12 styles in an older version.

Sweet, that's awesome

keytotime · Post by **keytotime** » Tue Nov 15, 2005 1:41 pm

You made an error typing

Code: Select all

918 = Resources\Themes\LE4\Shell\DefualtC
923 = Resources\Themes\LE4a\Shell\DefualtC

it should be

Code: Select all

918 = Resources\Themes\LE4\Shell\DefaultC
923 = Resources\Themes\LE4a\Shell\DefaultC

Can you use this as a wallpaper it goes really well with the theme

kel just a question, do you need to integrate the hacked uxtheme.dll file to use your theme packs, i ask because i tried to make windows load mine without using it and failed, do you know if there is a way for themes to be applied without using a cracked file.

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Tue Nov 15, 2005 1:50 pm

Yes you need the hacked uxtheme.dll while I am fixing this later I will add in the hacked uxtheme.

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Tue Nov 15, 2005 2:16 pm

yes because i had a couple people pm me saying you inspirat addon doesnt work, i would pm them back saying, "Will did you include hacked uxtheme?" they respond with "wel... um no, do i need it" my response to them "duh!"

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Tue Nov 15, 2005 2:25 pm

What about if i use nLite's own Uxtheme hack, which is available as an option during nLite operation, do i still need to use the included Uxtheme from your theme addons?

Thanks for your work and support, as usual
