How to customize colors in Vista's Copying dialog box.
Submitted By : RameshKumar
Here is how you can change the attributes animation color of Vista's 'Copying, Moving, Deleting, and Applying' Dialog box.
With the release of Vista, Microsoft has developed a new method of animation in explorer instead of AVIs (Video Clip). Here I am sharing a short method, to change the color of the 'Copying, Moving, Deleting, and Applying' attributes process.
You will require a ResHacker (Resource Hacker) and Notepad (Text File Editor).
First, extract the text file from shell32.dll/UIFILE/42.txt using ResHacker. You can find shell32.dll in C:\Windows\System32 folder.
Then, edit the Text file using Notepad and use Search feature (press CTRL+F to find the line) and search for
background="Gradient
The Original Color Code is:
background="Gradient(argb(255, 9, 74, 116), argb(255, 32, 121, 140), argb (255, 5, 111, 90), 3)
 
Explanation
argb(X,R,G,B)
Where X --> Transparency
R --> Red
G --> Green
B --> Blue
background="Gradient(argb(255,R 1 ,G 1 ,B 1 ),argb(255,R 2 ,G 2 ,B 2 ),argb(255,R 3 ,G 3 ,B 3 ),3)"
 
Finally, replace the code with desired one. I have replaced with this:
background="Gradient(argb(255, 15, 55,107 ), argb (255, 50, 110, 210), argb(255, 50, 160 ,200 ), 3)"
After making changes; save the text file and exit.
Now replace this text file in shell32.dll using ResHacker.
Now save shell32.dll and exit.
Restart the PC.
See the difference !
