Thumbs up OneWorld Windows 7 Theme: Feedback & Support - 02-18-2009, 05:48 AM

OneWorld theme for Windows 7 is an attempt to change the look & feel of Windows 7 Beta by Windows Vista Club & Into Windows. Apart from the usual stuffs that you can see in our previously created Windows 7 themes, this theme also comes with a new Welcome Center, Task Pane, Desktop Icons and five cool 'OneWorld' images as sideshow to make your Windows 7 desktop better than ever.



The 8MB OneWorld Theme For Windows 7 zip file contains:

1) OneWorld themepack
2) Oobefldr.dll
3) Shell32.dll
4) Instructions for installing the theme.

HomePage
Download.

How to install the theme:

1) Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file.

2) Double-click on the file named “OneWorld.themepack” to apply the theme.

How to change Welcome Center:

To get a new Welcome Center you need to replace a system 32 folder file. Before starting the procedure, I request you to make a complete backup so that you can play with files without worries.

1. Go to C:\Windows\System32 (Where “C” is your Windows 7 OS drive).

2. Locate the file named “Oobefldr.dll” and take the ownership of the file. If you don’t know about taking ownership of a file, then please read our “How to take ownership of a file” guide.



3. Now, rename the file as "OobefldrOLD.dll" and minimize the folder. Click Continue button for the confirmation dialog box.


4. Open the WVC OneWorld folder and copy Oobefldr.dll file to C:\Windows\System32 folder.

5. Click Continue button for Windows prompt.


6. You have just installed the new Oobefldr.dll file. Reboot your system. You should get a new task pane now.

How to change Task Pane:

1. Go to C:\Windows\System32 (Where “C” is your Windows 7 OS drive).

2. Locate the file named “Shell32.dll” and take the ownership of the file. If you don’t know about taking ownership of a file, then please read our “How to take ownership of a file” guide.

3. Now, rename the file as "Shell32OLD.dll" and minimize the folder. Click Continue button for the confirmation dialog box.



4. Open the WVC OneWorld folder and copy the Shell32.dll file to C:\Windows\System32 folder. Click Continue button for the prompt.


5. You have just installed the new Shell32.dll file. Reboot your system. You should get a new task pane now.

This theme has been tested on 32-bit Windows 7 Beta Build 7000 systems; not sure if it works on x64 systems.

Your suggestions, feedback or support requests are most welcome here.
