FINAL

2 System files included (SP1 compatible)
4 Wallpapers included

32bits and 64bits compatible
Taskbar on Bottom, Top and Left compatible
Window Color available (It's supposed to be without. Apply the theme again if it appears blue. Corners may have problems if you use it !)



INSTALL :



1) FIRST, DOWNLOAD AND RUN THIS Universal Theme Patcher IN ADMINISTRATOR MODE (right-clic > "Run as administrator"), UAC must be turned off
After patch, restart computer to take effect.

2) extract content ("Soft7 2.0.theme" & "Soft7 2.0" folder) into C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
and double-click on Soft7 2.0.theme
Then restart Windows in order that everything take effect ! (or only the explorer.exe if you know how to do it)


To change the navigation buttons you have to change your ExplorerFrame.dll :
Windows Theme Installer by Kishan-Bagaria
(Works only for the explorerframe.dll in "System32", so perfect for Windows 7 32bits. However, for Windows 7 64bits you'll also have to change the second explorerframe.dll (32bits) manually in the folder written below)



For 32bits Windows 7 :
Explorerframe.dll 32bits > "C:\WindowsSystem32"

For 64bits Windows 7 :
Explorerframe.dll 64bits > "C:\WindowsSystem32"
Explorerframe.dll 32bits > "C:\WindowsSysWOW64"


Yes, these are the right folders ! 64/32 and 32/64 :)



I use [link] for a small shadow above the superbar

Hey the theme looks great except I followed the instructions and after downloading and running the universal theme patcher, non of the patch options were able to be clicked (so i think everything was already patched for me?) and only the restore options were there. So I just restarted my computer, continued following the steps, i didn't come across the "Soft7 2.0.theme" & "Soft7 2.0" folders, I came across the "Soft7 2.0 by AP-GRAPHIK" folder which had the 'Explorerframe.dll' folder, 'THEME' folder and 'Wallpapers' folder and the 'Soft7 by AP-GRAPHIK' readme file. So I copied / extracted that entire file into the Resources/Themes folder, then I went into the 'THEME' folder and double clicked the Soft7 2.0 Windows Theme File and it took me to my installed themes section and the Soft7 2.0 theme was there and highlighted but nothing happened so then I restarted my laptop and still nothing happened. Any idea on what is going wrong?

Also, I watched a couple videos on youtube about installing Soft7 and it appeared that after the people installed it on youtube, there theme didn't look similar to the picture you posted. I really like the simple and plain black logos, light blue blackground and grey windows logo which is why I am downloading this theme. That iss the theme which I will get after I successfully download this theme right? From the youtube videos I watched, it appeared that they did download from this exact link and follow these instructions except they didn't get the exact theme posted in the picture, they got a theme similar but I like the one in the picture A LOT more..
Anyways, thanks in advance for the help :)
