scp Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 It is possible to change the text color / progress bar color in WINNTBBU.DLL:1. Open a Hex Editor2. Search for the hex word "83 F8 08 B8"3. You will see something like this:00001d30h: 59 83 F8 08 B8 FF FF FF 00 A3 48 0A 00 5A A3 44 00001d40h: 0A 00 5A A3 3C 0A 00 5A A3 38 0A 00 5A A3 34 0A00001d50h: 00 5A A3 20 0A 00 5A A3 18 0A 00 5A 76 45 B9 0000001d60h: 25 6D 00 89 0D 1C 0A 00 5A 89 0D 24 0A 00 5A C700001d70h: 05 40 0A 00 5A FF 80 00 00 C7 05 4C 0A 00 5A 0700001d80h: 9E 05 00 C7 05 5C 0A 00 5A 00 32 96 00 C7 05 58Original value = descriptionFF FF FF 00 = text color / progress bar background color00 25 6D 00 = title text shadow colorFF 80 00 00 = text color (current step)07 9E 05 00 = progress bar colorYou can replace these values by using HTML hex values, most picture software will display it in there color picker.You can also use my little commandline tool:- Unpack it- Fill the bbucolor.ini with your values- Run bbucolor.exe C:\path\to\winntbbu.dllNote: If you don't use the tool and make it with a hex editor you have to set the Last Modified time/date stamp manually back to its original value, otherwise setup will display a error.bbucolor.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCT Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 can someone help me plz ive followed the instructions here, but i get the error message as stated above, then i downloaded and run the program (bbucolor.exe) it says its searching for winntbbu.pdb any cant find it, any ideas plz?i know this post is kinda dated, but still thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsolares Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 you have to pass the winntbbu.dll file as argument to the bbucolor.exe, like so :bbucolor winntbbu.dlland that's all there is to it, it changes the colors accordingly to what's in the bbucolor.ini files. hope that helps.
