I have modified some font colors which you might want to consider for yourself as well. The Window font I made white, active title bar made a light blue, inactive title bar is white, menu text is light blue, message box is white, selected item is white.

This helps the font to be more visible against a dark backdrop.

abaddamn Featured By Owner Jun 23, 2013

Awesome theme... took me a while to figure out how to get the blue in, but got it working.
You need to Patch the theme files using the UniversalThemePatcher first (make sure x64 if using 64 bit windows, x32 for 32 bit), then add the PreBlack theme to the Windows Resources Folder.

anangsandii Featured By Owner Feb 23, 2012

elementalgodz11 Featured By Owner Feb 5, 2012 Student Interface Designer

I don't know if this is a theme bug or a bug I made by modifying it but if you Right Click the Start Menu and hover over" "Properties" it changes to "Propertie"

elementalgodz11 Featured By Owner Feb 5, 2012 Student Interface Designer

Hi, how do I make all the fonts White using VSB?

I have modded it a little bit. It is AMAZING.

ShCiPwA Featured By Owner Sep 26, 2011

There is a small bug in the taskbar for ultramon showing the icons way too wide instead of the square ones.

Other themes don't cause this, I had a play with Style building trying to compare it to another theme but couldn't find the setting.

Basically it always looks "uncombined" on my second monitor (with ultramon)

Other custom themes don't have this problem, Please fix it, otherwise amazing theme!

Jacobkip Featured By Owner May 14, 2011

I wish there was an xp port

vi20RickrMetal12us Featured By Owner May 15, 2011 Hobbyist Interface Designer

well their is but we never completes it but I might make it later on since folks still use Winxp

b1011 Featured By Owner Apr 24, 2011

This wont install.. Patched files, and when I click .theme file it doesn't work. Any ideas?

vi20RickrMetal12us Featured By Owner Apr 28, 2011 Hobbyist Interface Designer

_{are you using Windows 7 for starter. maybe of-course. Second this will only work with a version higher and then basic... you'll need "home premium-ultimate". Did you actually patch all the files manually or with a application I would recommend using vistaglazz to patch your system which it does not matter either if you use universal theme patcher or something like that. then restart your system and place.

these files inside this directory in your hard drive were windows is installed in which I'm sure you know about.

Preblack folder containing all .msstyle and extra folders.
Pre black.theme
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

if it does not work from that check if any other theme works if not its either the computer not liking the theme. Which makes it a commy}

DevilsHitman Featured By Owner Jan 30, 2011

you do good clean themes mate, welldone

pjstaley Featured By Owner Jan 18, 2011

Love the skin. Please help the noob. After download, does one unzip it to the winstep folder, or a winstep sub-folder, does it create it's own sub-folder?

vi20RickrMetal12us Featured By Owner Jan 18, 2011 Hobbyist Interface Designer

no need to call yourself a noob as long you can turn on the computer and manage to post a commnet you are all good

pjstaley Featured By Owner Jan 18, 2011

The skin is beautiful, and I'd love to have it, but it's in zip format. I'm a noob and don't know where to "unzip" it to. does it go to the winstep folder, a sub-folder, the windows theme file? Please advise. Thx.

vi20RickrMetal12us Featured By Owner Jan 18, 2011 Hobbyist Interface Designer

_{Well it will not work with Winstep its an actual [.msstyle] in which you'll need to place it in this directory.}
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\

_{but first you will need to have patch your system with either Uxtheme (uni.) Patcher or VistaGlazz in which I prefer.
then you need to go to your Personalization option in Windows by [Right Clicking the desktop.] and click one the one name pre black .

Their is also an update in which I have improve many of its bugs/features. Including a better taskbar.
Pre VS 1.1.7b for Windows 7}

there are a-lot of video tutorials under youtube on how to apply a custom theme for Windows. If it does not work
(But do you have any of these Windows 7
Home Premium/Pro./or Ultimate build 7600.) the theme will not work if you have a different Os. ALthough if you have an Xp computer aswell I have port one for the same experience or check up on my gallery maybe.

let me know if you have any-more questions.

Lunatic-Red-Eyes Featured By Owner Oct 21, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Thankyou for making this available! Using it now, very nice theme!

vi20RickrMetal12us Featured By Owner Oct 21, 2010 Hobbyist Interface Designer

yup.

Lunatic-Red-Eyes Featured By Owner Oct 25, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Oh just a quick Q, this theme comes with icons aswell. do you know of a freeware prog that'll use the TWA files? using resource hacker is a lenghty progress and even though I followed the tut on seven forums, my imageres.dll seems to be different from everyone elses. :S

vi20RickrMetal12us Featured By Owner Oct 25, 2010 Hobbyist Interface Designer

well maybe use "Stardocks icon packager" it could read files inside .dll' although its payware there are always does that go for a pirated one...great program...But try restorator. or just not cascade the folder seperator and drag & drop the folder containing all the .ico may but I don't know try that application there are other but that a good one I've used

Lunatic-Red-Eyes Featured By Owner Oct 25, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

hmm I'll give restorator a try. Thanks for the suggestions
