Making Personality Windows 7

System Beautification I believe many of my friends have been in contact with XP before. Since the era of Vista, the Aero function of Windows has made the overall style of the system more gorgeous, and Windows 7 is also the same. If you don't know much about Windows 7 beautification, follow this article today to get a preliminary understanding of Windows 7's beautification.

First, change the login interface

Beautify from the login! Are you tired of the Windows 7 blue background login interface, today we will use Win7LogonBackgroundChanger this green small software to replace your favorite pictures.

After opening the software, click on Select Directory and select the folder where your favorite pictures are located. Choose your favorite image and click "Apply". Of course, we can also click "Settings" to increase the effect of the shadows.

Second, replace more style theme

The current Windows theme is divided into two categories, one is Visual Style (referred to as VS), the other is WindowBlinds (WB for short). The theme that comes with Microsoft is VS-style, and WB is produced by StarDock, the only third-party themed landscaping software certified by Microsoft.

WB theme style is more diverse than VS, but you need to install WindowBlinds software first. In fact, now when it comes to Windows 7, the customizability of VS theme is much higher than that of XP. There are many excellent VS themes and no need to install additional third-party software. So today I mainly introduce the use of the VS theme.

Windows 7 comes with some themes, we can right click on the desktop, click on "Personalization", choose the style you like. By clicking on "Window Color", we can change the default blue. With "Enable transparency" and color density adjustment, we can change the taskbar and window to your favorite color.

But changing the color can't meet our needs. At this time, we can download some favorite VS themes on the Internet. For example, the Mac-like theme is to make the Windows interface close to the Mac system style. But because it is a third-party visual style theme, we first use the UniversalThemePatcher software to crack the three dll files related to the theme.

Cracking theme DLL files

You can install our favorite themes. If the downloaded theme format is "theme name.themepack", then we can use it directly after double-clicking. If the suffix is ​​"XXX.theme" plus the "XXX" folder with the same name, then you need to put these two things in the X:WindowsResourcesThemes folder (X is the system drive letter), and then double-click "XXX.theme" The theme can be applied.

Three, button icons need to be modified

Windows 7 default blue start button is somewhat monotonous, and may not match the segmentation of the theme you use, such as the imitation Mac theme I use It's not quite commensurate with this button, this time we can use the Windows 7 Start Button Changer to replace it. First look for a start button of your favorite style, such as this Apple style.

Click on the place as shown in the figure, then send the folder to select this picture. Let's take a look at the effect of the contrast before and after. Is it harmonious?

Four, Win7 Desktop Dock Tools

One of the biggest features of the Mac system is its gorgeous Dock . Of course, in Windows 7, we can also achieve this effect through some Dock software. Here is the RocketDock, which takes up very little CPU resources and memory, so it can be used even if the configuration is not particularly good.

After opening RocketDock.exe, it comes with a set of icons and default styles. We can manually replace them with your favorite styles and icons. Right-click anywhere at the bottom, then select "Program Settings", then click on "Style" - "Themes" and select your favorite theme (this is mainly used to change the style of the icon base). Click on "Get More" next to it, we can download more themes from RocketDock's official website, download the theme and put the folder in the RocketDockSkins directory, then we can replace it from the previous option.

Drag any shortcut to the dock, right click on the icon, and click on "icon settings" to change your favorite icon. For example, this is the final result I made.

Of course, the position of the pedestal can be at the bottom, up and down, and can be modified according to your preferences. RocketDock also has a lot of cool plugins that help us achieve some cool effects. For example, with this StackDocklet plugin we can display the following shortcut effects.
