It works, and looks fantastic. I imagine that a public beta will be available just after Christmas, so check back here around then. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#11 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:01:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#11 DisplayFusion I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that I can add support for these hacked themes into DisplayFusion. The bad news is that it is going to require a significant amount of work. This change will affect both the Taskbars and the TitleBar Buttons and will require some big changes under the surface. As a result, I am going to have to push this change to version 3.2 so that it can get some serious testing. Sorry for having to delay this, but I don't want to risk delaying the 3.1.6 release, and I don't want to release a version that hasn't been extensively tested. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#10 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:43:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#10 DisplayFusion That sounds fantastic Looking forward to your continued good work!

Also, don't make the same mistake as I did. Sharing this with everyone because it pissed me off and had me repatch my uxtheme files several times: Place your visualstyles inside C:\Windows\Resources\Theme and not in a third party folder like D:\Themes . God I was stupid -___- ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#9 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:23:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#9 DisplayFusion I know that DisplayFusion fully supports hacked uxtheme files in Windows XP, but I had no idea Windows 7 supported that. I'll test it out and hopefully get it working before the next release. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#8 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:38:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#8 DisplayFusion Hi.

I used the UniversalThemePatcher.exe
http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/16794-win7-build-7600-custom-themes.html

I also have an edited explorer.exe in case that matters

That theme

And that explorer.exe

Thanks for your posts! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#7 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:59:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#7 DisplayFusion Many people use http://uxstyle.com/ to patch their uxtheme. It's a service that tweaks it. And you can get some examples of themes here http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=818990 . Many themes seem to also edit explorer.exe and other files.

Seriously, this is a very important issue for me. Ultramon did this for XP themes, and Display Fusion's Aero-copying ability led me to believe this would work as well as Ultramon did. I'd like to not have to worry if I change my OS's appearance. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#6 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:44:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#6 DisplayFusion @undeadish: I had no idea the old uxtheme hacks work in Windows 7. I haven't tested this scenario at all, but it looks like I'm going to have to start. Can I ask where you got that theme from, so I can test with it? Also, do you use a utility to patch your uxtheme file? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#5 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:58:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#5 DisplayFusion Ooh, where did you get that theme? It's awesome. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#4 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:53:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#4 DisplayFusion Hi, here is the image:

-- 7000 (Beta)
-- 7100 (Beta)
-- 7600 (RTM) ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#2 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:45:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324#2 DisplayFusion Would you be able to post a full resolution image here, I'm not really able to see what's going on in that image. What version of Windows are you trying to get this to work with? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:20:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/win7-x64-no-visual-styles-on-multimonitor-taskbar/?ID=7d6a6fdd-0a79-4926-90d0-dfce7d520324 DisplayFusion Title is quite self-explanatory; no matter how many settings I fiddle with, I cannot get my visual styles (Uxtheme.dll hacked required visual styles) work on the multimonitor taskbar; a feature that worked perfectly fine in windows xp.

You can see it there, on the second monitor (it is a bit smaller than my primary one)

Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks. ]]>
