Steve Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Looks something like this minus the clock and power info and such, that is some random windows gadget. What you need: 1. Universal Theme Patcher 2. Theme iself 3. Bug Fix (English font, images) 4(optional). Original windows pointers and turn off wallpaper slideshow What you do: 1. Unzip and use Universal Theme Patcher for your system (x64 on 64bit, x86 on 32bit), click Patch on all the buttons. 2. Fully Restart PC 3. Use "[Astyles.Org][Win7] Hoshizora no Memoria_2012.exe" installer, follow instructions - installation password is "Astyles.Org", finish installation. 4. Fully Restart PC 5. You should now have the theme, however things will be broken. 6. Right click on desktop and go to Personalize and change back to default Aero theme 6. Navigate to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes 7. Extract HoshiTheme.zip (Bug Fix) there (so "Hoshizora no Memoria_2012.theme" is in that folder and "Hoshizora no Memoria_2012_v5.msstyles" is in Hoshizora no Memoria_2012 folder, overwrite when asked). 8. Right click on desktop and go to Personalize and change Hoshizora no Memoria_2012 theme under Installed Themes. 9. And there you have it, you should have the theme working just fine. Optional: 1. To restore mouse default pointers and get super awesome Wallpaper Steve made for his bed screen (1280x1024 resolution) doubleclick "no_mouse_more_stars.themepack" 2. If you want to customize wallpapers (by default it cycles through all characters [including Hisakaki Mokomoko]), pointers and stuff yourself just got to Personalize and there you have all the options, desktop background, windows color, mouse pointers, customize as you like. Known issues and how to fix them: Problem: Mare in the start menu is squished Solution: You have small start menu icons enabled, change to large icons -Right click Start menu and go to properties, click Customize, find and check option "Use large icons", it will be on the bottom. Problem: Mare in the start menu is stretched Solution: You have too many pinned programs in start menu, remove some (maximum is 10) - Right click icons you are not using and "Remove from this list". Problem: Search line in start menu is not there Solution: It is there, it just isn't visible - Just type what you are searching for and it will search it just like if it was there. If you have any other problem, you can hop on TS and someone there will surely be able to help you. Enjoy and praise the Mare~ Tatsujin, MarZ0rak, seventhfonist425 and 3 others 6
Steve Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 Replaced the google download for the theme, should work now.
seventhfonist425 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I think I was able to get it working... for the most part, but this seems a little wrong...
Kynbound Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 if im not mistake one of the hoshizora files is supposed to stay in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes This theme inspired me to make the ultimate Mare theme.
Shaward Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I love you steve... Can't wait to come back home to try it *-*
Steve Posted April 2, 2014 Author Posted April 2, 2014 I think I was able to get it working... for the most part, but this seems a little wrong... In folder options show extensions for known fie types (so you know what extension what file is). One of the files indeed belongs to the resources/themes, only the v5 is supposed to be in this folder.
Kynbound Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Really thankfull for the theme.Managed to add some music clips of the vn to the sistem sounds and got a nice image for the logon screen Sadly i do not know what the text means Also this may be a dumb question but how do i "turn" a theme into a .exe file?
Steve Posted April 2, 2014 Author Posted April 2, 2014 Sadly i do not know what the text means The big text is in chinese so I don't know. The small text says "Today you are also bakabaka". Also this may be a dumb question but how do i "turn" a theme into a .exe file? Like a theme you made? I guess you just pack the necessary files into an exe extractor just like the astyles extractor. Not sure what exactly you mean.
Kynbound Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I meant like an installer.But i guess that should work
Tomoya_senpai Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 steve about the another themes of Hoshizora maybe these are the another hoshizora girl themes ^^
Kynbound Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 My extensive search only came with 3 hoshimemo themes (one if for windows xp though) Could be that my searching skills just suck
Steve Posted April 2, 2014 Author Posted April 2, 2014 steve about the another themes of Hoshizora maybe these are the another hoshizora girl themes ^^ Get this one, it has mokomoko wallpaper And if you mean having komomo in the start menu like mare here, it would just take some editing of the msstyles file using style editor and adding komomo image instead of the mare one, but it might break things since it is made for Mare.
Kynbound Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 If youre interessed on the other theme here it is.(not sure if the link works alright) http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/32845180/file.html Sadly the startup menu was a bit weird for me but im almost sure thats only my pc problem
Tomoya_senpai Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Steve I meant when I open a folder there should be an image in background but I don't have it
Kynbound Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 IF you mean Then those background folder images are actually added by the person itself You cant trust everythign you see .Ofc if you dont trust me you can wait for steve to tell you the same thing
Steve Posted April 2, 2014 Author Posted April 2, 2014 Oh that thing, yeah those are not there I think, I am not sure if its because I removed them (because they were causing problems) or they were not there in the first place... I believe they were causing problems, I also removed the right click image because it was causing problems in firefox and some tray icons (google drive for example). You can use the original version if you want (in the .theme file edit from v5 to original) and it will have all the things, but it will be broken in many places so I don't recommend it - the person making the skin did a pretty sloppy job and easiest way to fix it was to remove some of the things, if you want them I recommend getting the vista style builder software (works for w7) - you can find torrent somewhere and fixing the stuff yourself, but its not easy, that's why I just removed some of the features instead of trying to make them work properly, it was easier that way (and I still spent hours on it, mainly on the font fixes).
Tomoya_senpai Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Ok I'll download it later when I'm i the school because with my internet it would take pretty long about an hour or so p.p
Kynbound Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Now im actually curious of what you removed.Since im using the "original version" and i didnt notice any bugs. I seem to have found a kosame and komomo theme.Will test it later
Tomoya_senpai Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Steve I shared some Mare pictures between my friends. Everyone loves her
Steve Posted April 2, 2014 Author Posted April 2, 2014 Now im actually curious of what you removed.Since im using the "original version" and i didnt notice any bugs. I seem to have found a kosame and komomo theme.Will test it later It is mostly fix for some language combinations of windows 7 (font fixes). the removed stuff is most likely the background on the folders as it was I think overlapping something... another removed thing is the context menu background with mare x shinku, since it bugs in for example firefox - there it will display the whole image instead of just the options you have so it is a giant box. it also bugs with google drive tray icon, if you click that it will have taht image copied for each line of the context menu. Its mostly graphical bugs that were looking weird for me so I removed it - the most important part is the start menu and the stars on the aeru windows and that is working just fine Also kept the neko-Mare in the taskbar right click menu.
Kynbound Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Lucky me i didnt have problems with the mare x shinku, image, also traded the mouse icons for something more hoshimemo like.
Tomoya_senpai Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I follow this Thread and for me you haven'T annoyed anyone I don't know what you mean o.O
Kynbound Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Meh you dont need to worry.I have means to keep people quiet if they keep stepping on my toes hmm maybe that sounded too evil
Tomoya_senpai Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I hope that's everything allright. But still HISAKAKI WILL BE MINE XD
seventhfonist425 Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Files have been moved... Something still seems off about this... Shouldn't stuff be not cut off?
