    7 Theme Source Patcher (3003)

    in Microsoft Windows 7

    Posted

    Hi all,

    We wanted a simple way to customize our complete Se7en OS, so we created 7tsp.

    The patcher will back up the original (current) system files, and patch your Windows 7 with a resource pack.

    Icon/Theme Packs:

    The Icon Packs are still basic and in development.

    However, anyone can build and share there own custom packs.

    containing:(remove anything from a pack u don't want patched, if a file or folder is not present it will simply not be patched)

    ~ A custom Logon screen

    ~ a custom side panel bitmap

    ~ Custom Copy/move/delete Animation colors

    ~ Custom taskmanager line and grid colors

    ~ A .themepack file, or a .theme file and folder

    ~ custom .ani/.cur Cursors or a complete cursor scheme

    ~ Any amount of .Res files

    ~ Install new fonts

    ~ Install new sounds

    ~ install sound schemes

    any windir/ system32/ syswow64/ file can be added in .res format. e.g. "shell32.dll.res"

    also these extra resfiles can be added to a pack in the resources folder:

    ~firefox.exe.res

    ~basebrd.dll.res

    ~shellbrd.dll.res

    These packs can be installed and used via the options menu in the patcher. 

    [Base Pack]
    Pack=name of your custom pack
    Base by=name of pack creator
    Version=version number of your custom pack
    Date=date

    [7tsp]
    theme creator=name
    theme=mytheme.theme    <<The name of the theme file as placed in the "Extra" folder, e.g.:  mytheme.themepack or  mytheme.theme (and place the folder that goes with it "mytheme" also in the "Extra" Folder).
    mui=no            << set to "yes" if u got any *.mui.res files in the resources folder
    uxhex=yes   <<<In case the theme needs uxtheme.dll to be patched else write "no".

    [taskmanager]
    grid=556677      <<<< only 6 characters correct hex values can be put here.
    memory=FF6A00
    CPU=FF0000
    Digits=FF0000

    [CopyAnimation]
    color1=000000
    color2=000035
    color3=003C77
    Fontcolor=FFFFFF
    or
    [CopyAnimation ]  <<<<place a bitmap 100 (400x40) in shell32.dll.res to use a bitmap instead
    Bitmap=100
    Fontcolor=FFFFFF

    Se7en Theme Source Patcher

    03.png

    The Se7en Theme Source Patcher has been built from scratch, including the new res files and modifications made by Kirs.

    We wanted a simple way to customize our complete OS, so we created 7tsp.

    The patcher will back up the original (current) system files, and patch your Windows 7 with a resource pack.

    We've included internal Black resources in the patcher to have a more complete transformation

    (this can be disabled in the options menu).

    All internal resources are are just most of the basic white icons from Windows 7 turned black.

    There are also color packs in development and available for download.

    It's possible to create your own custom Theme/Icon pack's and apply them with the 7tsp GUI.

    Modifications can include icons, bitmaps, cursors, a theme, side panel, logon screen and task manager colors.

    Options

    Start Patching: Patch your Windows 7

    The default pack is Black. You can select a custom pack in the Options menu.

    It is also possible to merge your custom pack with the internal Black pack.

    Restore: Restores the patched files to the backup made at 7tsp's first run.

    For extra security, the patcher by default creates a Restore Point every time you patch your system.

    You can disable this in the Options menu.

    It is also possible to manually create a Restore Point (Program > Create Restore Point).

    Logon Screen:

    You can select whether the Logon screen should be patched or not, and you can also select a custom picture (a bmp. jpg. .png can be used from any given location and if needed will be converted and resized automatically).

    Side Panel:

    You can select whether the Side Panel should be patched or not, and you can also select a custom picture.(a bmp. jpg. .png can be used from any given location and if needed will be converted and resized automatically).

    Cursors:

    You can select whether or not the animated cursor files should be replaced. (add your own cursors to the cursors folder in a pack, open with eg 7z.exe and drag files out and in the opened 7z window)

    Explorer.exe:

    You can select whether or not Explorer.exe should be patched.

    Debug log:

    Here you can select whether or not a debug log should be created. This is useful for pack creators, to debug resfiles.

    Clean Icon Cache:

    When not all icons have changed, you can manually clean the icon and thumbnail cache to refresh these.

    What happens to your system files:

    1. If Start Patching is clicked, the Patcher will extract the selected resource pack to the work folder and look for each system file this pack will mod.( it will skip any file that is not in the resources folder in res format)

    A backup will be made of those files in the case a backup does not yet exist. If Windows updated a file the backup will be updated as well.

    2. The current file ownerships of a file are stored and then administrator ownerships are taken.

    3. The file will be patched with the new resources and replaces the original file.

    4. The file ownerships will be restored.

    to do:

    ~Add task manager color change support

    ~Add more detailed start button support~Add GUI language support

    ~Add more res file support for other file locations then windir and sysdir when they are needed.

    Notes:

    Windows 7 Only!

    Please install the latest version of reshecker.

    At the moment only live patching is supported.

    Icons were modified using: IcoFX

    Bitmaps were modified in: Paint.net and gimp

    Comment:

    : Just an .exe nothing will be installed.

    : u can add a list of names to the large list box via copy past or just by typing them in. (you can also paste a list for e.g. made by Folder Content Lister)

    : a single name like "New folder" per line will result in the folders being created where the program is run from

    : to specify the location type the full path on each line like

    : "C:\new folder"

    : "C:\new folder 2"

    :or use the build in list creator for your convenience. u can add up to a 1000 folders at once!

    WFP won't let windows file to be replaced easily and may get messed up.

    dont forget to use PEChecksum on all 4 kernels (for xp install)

    Using tune up utilities is best and safe way to change boot screen,

    also try software named stardock bootskin .

    Se7en System File Replacer 1.5.4

    in Microsoft Windows 7

    Posted

    Updated to v1.3

    ~important bug fix in the manual function!!

    i've added the option to replace any file on next reboot because some files are in use by many different programs

    and cant be replaced without the system being rebooted.

    use this if normal replace fails like e.g. for shell32.dll

    also the manual function is fully manual again,

    this for x64 users who wish to be able to replace files which exist in multiple locations besides the system32 folder

    good luck modding

    but please be careful!

    I've got a problem with shell32.dll because I cannot replace.

    shell32 is prolly in use by explorer.exe like in XP

    i'll do some test's and add a check to restart explorer.exe for shell32.dll..

    Btw: Is there any way to add system files (for example: shell32.dll, task manager etc) to win7?

    I mean like Xptsp. :D

    This was just an idea but it would be cool.

    dunno how yet, but we are looking into it...
