Uh, yeah it does. I've been customizing the 3.0 software significantly the past few weeks with no problems. The OP instructions still apply.

You sure? *raised eyebrow* This is a pretty ancient hack, and it's a general rule that any hack for older software iterations won't work without modification. You sure your software is running smoothly and whatnot? And for that matter, got any screenshots for us? If you did manage to get it to work, that'd be beuatiful.

100% sure. The Zune team have made changes to the code but what they did change doesn't affect any of the simple modifications we can make such as font colors, custom background pics, etc.

Here's my 3.1 that I've been tweaking the last couple nights:







I've been taking notes of all the changes I've made and hope to compile them into a little guide for the daring. It's quite a bit of work to get into the code and make all these tweaks but it sure makes for a one of a kind software.

Hi, I know that this thread is a year old but I made this account just to find some help to change the font on the new zune 4.0 software if it even was possible.

When I click on 1033 under styles.uix all I can see on reshacker is alot of letters and numbers?

If it helps, i'm using vista home premium 32-bit.

Thanks

it's a matter of time before someone figures it out. I'll be the first to post how when it happens.

1.Make shure zune is closed
2.Open Res hacker, open the "ZuneShellResources.dll"
3.Click RCData. Scroll Down Click On Styles.UIX, the click 1033
4.You should see the folowing

<!-- Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. -->
<UIX
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2007/uix"
xmlns:iris="assembly://UIX/Microsoft.Iris"
xmlns:zune="assembly://ZuneShell/ZuneUI"
xmlns:style="res://ZuneShellResources!Style.uix"
xmlns:me="Me">


<Class Name="Styles" Shared="True">
<Properties>

<zune:FontLoader Name="FontLoader" Resource="ZuneShellResources.dll">
<Fonts>
<String String="EndurancePro-Bold.ttf"/>
<String String="EnduranceProCaps-Bold.ttf"/>
<String String="Zegoesb_U_AA.ttf"/>
<String String="Zegoeui_U_AA.ttf"/>
<String String="Zegoeuib_U_AA.ttf"/>
<String String="Cegoeuil_auto.ttf"/>
<String String="zegoecpb.ttf"/>
</Fonts>
</zune:FontLoader>


Go Down Until It Says

<Color Name="DarkGray" Color="128,0,0"/>
<Color Name="WarmGray" Color="128,0,0"/>
<Color Name="LightGray" Color="151,0,0"/>
<Color Name="VeryLightGray" Color="180,0,0"/>
<Color Name="RedOrange" Color="235,70,46"/>
<Color Name="Magenta" Color="241,13,162"/>



When you get here do what i have done change the numbers to corespont with certian colors, I have chosen red. If you need to find a good color and the coresponding numbers, use custom colors under the paint program.
5. go down and do all up till,

<Font Name="ZegoeLight12" Font="Cegoe UI Light,12"/>
<Font Name="ZegoeLight14" Font="Cegoe UI Light,14"/>
<Font Name="ZegoeLight15" Font="Cegoe UI Light,15"/>
<Font Name="ZegoeLight16" Font="Cegoe UI Light,

To change ones like: <Color Name="SyncHeaderColor" Color="{DarkGray}"/>

just replace darkgray with the desierd color

I would sugest only changing a couple things at a time and only ones with numbers and words.


Thats how to change color on the new software, im willing to answer any questions at all on this.

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s...Untitled-1.jpg

I downloaded resource hacker. I got the background changed just fine but when i tried to change the font color i dont see what you see. I see this:

"00CF7160 55 49 42 1A F4 03 00 00 21 8F 00 00 E5 33 01 00 UIB•ô•••!••å3••

The new .dll for 4.0 is encrypted, and we can't edit anything at this time. If someone figures out how to decompile it, we may be in luck.

That is exactly what I am saying. The .dll was previously saved in a manner than made all the .UIX files within it clear-text. As of the 4.0 update, they decided that they didn't like us mucking around in their .dll files and they encrypted everything so we can't do anything. I think it was a pretty ****ty move by Microsoft, as I don't see anything wrong with customizing our software.

ok i gotcha now, that is pretty lame. if im payin $300 to buy their stuff you would think i could do anything i wanted with it but i guess not.

but where i originally found out how to change the font color was with the new software (so the tutorial said)
http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/tut...-software.html

and that confused the hell outta me
