how to change the colour of progress bar in xp

[abbhishek]

i have searched a lot in the forums but i did not find a good answer to my problem.

what i would like to do is that to change the colour of the progress bar

which is shown when the WINDOWS IS RUNNING i.e during setup of some s/w, during copying, etc

can u tell me what is going wrong?

i have a vista like visual style which shows the progress animations with the glass effect

as below:

prog.bmp

but when i extract the progress bar chunk and change its colour

and then reload it what i get is a very different progress bar.

prog_cng.bmp

i just wanted to change the green colour to red but everything

is just messed up as u can see. i am uploading the resource file

containing the chunks if u can please modify them to red colour

and upload or please show me where i can get it because i dont

know very well about graphics...............

so please help...........

the uploaded res file link is:

hi there, well as far i can see...

there is nothing f***ed up there.

there are two ways xp can display a progress bar, smooth, like the vista style, and with chunks.

like your changed one.

to be honest i dont know where to change that.

i think its better to ask marko, a ppost above about this.

he is better at this stuff then i am.

good luck man
