@papakin81
thanks for the restorator suggestion. totally forgot about that super app. Found what I need to edit.

DjabyTown, got a question and 2 suggestions.
Where can I find the font's boldness setting? You have a neutral.rc, but that is not in the original aero theme file. My fonts are too bold on the higher dpi setting.

Any chance u could bring color gleams back into the taskbar. Having trouble noticing the flashing alerts from out of focus widows. eg. when I get a msg on msn when I'm working on another window, it would flash orange a few times, now I can only see a slight color change in gray, which is hardly noticeable.

Can you change the color of the dividers in explorer to something more subtle? I find the strong contrast a bit distracting when navigating. I Sort want a lightroom feel. If its too much trouble, what is the right resource to edit for those?

Thanks for the awesome theme!

I tested it on chrome and iron and both work good - so firefox is culprit, hope it gets sorted out since this is the browser i and 80 percent of people i know use.

thanks DjabyTown - nice work btw - TY

to be honest I don't know which links don't work for you. But I'm also on chrome... maybe you can try this. imo it is the best [fastest] browser at the moment...

Any chance you could mod it for the larger dpi?

If not can you tell me roughly where (the resources) to edit so I can upscale your icons for the higher dpi. I haven't touched styling for a long time so I'm a bit rusty. Is it doable with reshacker (I don't have Ave's styler)

Hi. Is it possible to update the theme to be compatible with higher DPI? I'm using Medium 125% DPI and the start button, explorer buttons and checkboxes are not styled. When switched back to default, they work again.

I'm assuming its something in explorerframe.dll, but cant seem to find it.

yeah it's because the style doesn't support your selected dpi. I've only made a version for the normal dpi [100%]. Sorry about that.

the explorerframe.dll only contains the navigation buttons, seen in the explorer
