DisabledTrucker Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I take it this whole thread has been pretty much abandoned, was hoping to get some help with a msstyle I moded but without actual instructions I am pretty much in the dark about what I am doing wrong.I downloaded Resource Hacker and a theme file I wanted to mod and when I was done with it, the file wouldn't work correctly. I used a backup copy of the theme I was working on, when I saved it, I saved it to a different place, but I copied over the other files which went with it as well to that folder, before I saved it. For some reason some of my graphics wont work correctly and when I attempt to open it up it brings up the style in Desktop Properties, but the names not correct and other information as well is missing. How can I fix these issues? Where can I go to learn more about doing what I am attempting? I don't feel as if I should have to purchase an expensive program to do what I am wanting to do here, which is only mod a few of the graphics in the msstlyes file and go. TIA for any help.
