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.

^^ Save the file somewhere else, then rename original "shell32.dll" file to some other name like "Shell32_backup.dll". At last copy your edited file to "System32" folder and restart your system.
