[request] Vs Mod

hi I was wondering if anyone could mod or explain to me how to mod the milk vs so that the start button (unpressed) is a black apple (like Stefanks panther snow) and the scroll bars so they are the same as those in TD 4.0. (would probably have to get both their permissions to use there resources)

thanks in advance

Just relace the stuff you want to replace in StyleBuilder or Reshack

Are you asking for a walkthrough?

so open each theme take the parts I want and then put them into the milk vs using style builder is basically what I would need to do right assuming everything is the same size or does the size matter?

k just got style builder and imported milk-redux and td panther and panther snow. So now I want to take the black apple from panther snow and put it into milk matgrey and the scrollbars from td panther. A walk through on this process would be really awesome if anybody has enough free time to create one.

i can explain it using resbuilder or reshacker.

i can teach you how to mod the scrollbar colors and buttons. it's actually quite simple.

1. so let's begin! open up resource hacker (if you don't have it, pick it up here: http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/) and open up the td visual style. browse to the bitmap section and find the scrollbar images (usually called scrollbarvertical_bmp or something like that) and you should find the vertical bar and the horizontal bar. now, highlight one and extract the bitmap by selecting the "save bitmap" action. save it somewhere like the desktop. repeat for the other scrollbar.

2. [optional] now, open up the scrollbar in an image editor like photoshop. change the colors by playing with the hues.

3. open up the milk visual style with resource hacker. browse to the same place, but this time, choose "replace bitmap" and select your new bitmap and replace. save the visual style, and that's it! you have replaced the milk scrollbar with the td one.

4. for the button, simply do the same thing. extract the button image from one theme, save it somewhere, replace in the other theme, and save the theme. finished!

note: to facilitate the process, you can also try resbuilder, which allows you to directly edit images: http://www.tgtsoft.com/

alrighty tried it out with reshhack the start button worked perfectly but the scroll bars are having issues the horizontal scroll bar is very messed up like it doesn't show the blue bar at all and the vertical one doesn't have the waves in it and the vertical portion doesn't blend into the background like the lower boundry does

that might happen if the images don't quite match up, i.e. the arrangement doesn't quite correspond.

can you post an image of what happens after you replace it?

and also post thumbnails of all the image resources.

maybe someone else has another idea?

#101026

you might want to pm a themer. they'll know more about doing this.
