like i said on dA, this is great, and probably the best w7 shot i’ve seen. i’d like it even more if the dock icons/scheme matched the taskbar better. also, how did you get the tasks to center on the taskbar?

Artist Notes
what you see is what you get…
-———————————————————
this is obvious ispired in noovo´s great SN2010 shot http://novoo.deviantart.com/art/SN2010-151210117
so all credits to him and thanks for the permission to release this.
I am a littler lazy so what you see on the shot is what you get ;)
INCLUDED IS:
VISUAL STYLE FOR WIN7
– explorerframe.dll for 32-bit and 64-bit
– explorer.exe for 32-bit top and bottom, 64-bit for top taskbar
CAD
DOCK BACKGROUND
i use objectbar but i think it works with other docks too, but i am not sure
2 x FOOBAR as you can see in the preview
i still use 0.9.6, so i don´t know if it works with 1.x
i included my components. i do not really know how to center the buttons (play, nexr, prev) so the skin just kooks good in a special size.
installation: copy the components to your foobar components folder, copy the folder “snap” in your foobar directory and import the “snap.fcl”
INSTALLATIOn FOR THE VISUAL STYLE
-——————————————————————————————
Copy the snap7.theme and snap7 folder in your x:\Windows\Resources\Themes folder.
For the StartButton you have to replace Explorer.exe in your Windows directory. for the navigation buttons you have to replace your explorerframe.dll ind youre Windows\system32 directory
please report bugs, there is one known in the context menu i am not able to fix at the moment. i anybody knows a solution, please let me know.
and feel free to fav if you like it ;)

thanks a lot, i will see if i change the dock/icons to match better. even the foobar buttons have a liitle to much glow i think. perhaps an update the next days. to center the icons take a look here: http://www.blogsdna.com/4269/how-to-center-taskbar-icons-in-windows-7.htm
@ antimatter
64-bit files are on their way…and thanks for your kind words
@ requestedRerun
i am glad you use & like it :)
@chefbennyj
taskbar to 24 px.: first you have to change the contentmargin from Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBand > Basic > TaskBand (SmallIcons) > TaskItemButton to 10,10,4,4
and than change the contentmargins here: Taskbar & Tray Notify > Taskbar > Basic > Toolbar > Button to 0,0,0,0
@ akka
thanks man
@ Narcot1c
thanks for your kind words. the problem with the search box is there because windows is using the same pics for search in explorer and startmenu. if i find another solution i will fiv this. at the beginning i used no background at all for the searchbobx but than it was not readalbe in startmenu. so i decided to use the grey background.
about the icons you want to change: i had no problems with the dll´s. i don´t remember exactly which dll´s i canged but is used this site to find them: http://wiki.deskmodder.de/wiki/index.php/Icons,BMPs,_PNGs_manuellaustauschen
i used reshacker 32-bit and everything worked fine.

Looks fantastic. As soon as somebody does 64-bit files, I’ll be giving this a try.

How do you make the taskbar smaller in win7

This should get more attention – a well rounded usable suite. Respect.

YES, this time you’ve managed to fix most of the problems ! Well done =) The thing I found out is when you hold your mouse over a folder in start menu, the search box is changing from “oval” to square /light gray/
I’ll definitely use this theme =) Like it a lot, also because of the FB2K theme included =P
Just tell me – how can I change the 3 icons for icon resizing/get help/more options as you did, because I’ve tried once and had to preinstall my OS /changing all imageres.dll with Reshack 64bit. All those customizable dlls including in WoW64 folder and so on/ – the result was a decent system error =) with explorer.exe being unable to load on startup.
