Guys

Following tutorial has been written by Ramesh Kumar who is a respected member of MeraWindows forums. He wanted to share this tutorial with you all, so I'm putting it here so that more and more ppl can enjoy it:

With the release of Vista, Microsoft has developed a new method of animation in explorer instead of AVIs (Video Clip); here I am sharing a smart tutorial to change color of Copying, Moving, Deleting, and Applying attributes process.

Requires:

Resource Hacker
Text file editor (prefer Notepad)

How to:

1. Extract text file from shell32.dll/UIFILE/42.txt using a ResHacker. (You can find shell32.dll at C:\Windows\System32)

2. Edit Text file using Notepad and use Search feature (press CTRL+F to find the line) and search for background="Gradient"

3. Original Color Code:

background="Gradient(argb(255, 9, 74, 116), argb(255, 32, 121, 140), argb (255, 5, 111, 90), 3)

Explanation:

argb(X,R,G,B)
Where X --> Transparency
R --> Red
G --> Green
B --> Blue
background="Gradient(argb(255,R 1 ,G 1 ,B 1 ),argb(255,R 2 ,G 2 ,B 2 ),argb(255,R 3 ,G 3 ,B 3 ),3)"

4. Replace the code with desired one. I have replaced with this:

background="Gradient(argb(255, 15, 55,107 ), argb (255, 50, 110, 210), argb(255, 50, 160 ,200 ), 3)"

After making changes; save the text file and exit.

5. Now replace this text file in shell32.dll using ResHacker.

6. Now save shell32.dll and exit.

7. Restart the PC to take effect.
