This VS is intended for Windows 7. It's tested and working on both 32 and 64-bit versions. Included are top and bottom and vertical version of the theme, and system files. 
Explorerframe.dll changes the back/forward and search buttons in windows explorer.

Installation:

0. To use any 3rd party VS your system must be pathed first. If it's not already, use UniversalThemePatcher in Tools Folder.

1. I strongly recomend that you install theme resource changer. It is a great tool and you wont need to do change any of the system files manually so go do yourself a favour and go to \Daydream by Solmiler\Tools\Theme Resource  Changer\ and install right version for your system.

1. Extract .theme files and Daydream folder to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\ 

2. Select the theme from presonalize menu.


If you dont install Theme Resource Changer and still want start orb, back forward buttons, you will have to replace the files manually:

1. To change start button use Windows 7 Start button changer v2.6 by Kishan Bagaria. It's a great tool extremely easy to use and it works on both 32 and 64 bit windows 7 with no problems. Inside the folder Start Orbs, are two BMP file that you can use and that are centered to the taskbar.

2. If you want to replace system files you need to take ownership of the files first. To do so follow this procedure :

- Navigate to system32 folder 
- right click explorerframe.dll then click properties
- select security tab, click advanced
- select owner tab, click EDIT
- In "Change owner to" section select Your Username.
- Click OK twice and You 're back in properties window
- Click the EDIT button next to " To change premissions click Edit text"
- Select Your username in "Group or user names" section,
- Check the FULL CONTROL box in the bottom section.
- Click OK and You're done. 

Now You can rename the file. Rename it to explorerframe.dll.original
, then paste the appropriate the file from \...\Daydream by Solmiler\System files\ folder.

3. Before Replacing backup original files first!

For 32-bit Windows 7 :

- Replace explorerframe.dll file in C:\Windows\system32\ folder with the ...\Daydream by Solmiler\System files\x86\ExplorerFrame.dll

For 64-bit Windows 7 :

- Replace explorerframe.dll file in C:\Windows\system32\ folder with the ...\Daydream by Solmiler\System files\x64\ExplorerFrame.dll


- Restart windows and Enjoy.
