Can someone encode this^ folder of images into an SArtFile.bin for me?

I use Toutheme's directions and they work like a charm... You might want to try this with your file

DECODING

To decode SArtFile.bin and compile a folder Resources Disconnected :(copy into Terminal)

./SArtFileTool -d SArtFile.bin ResourcesDisconnectedClassified


Or

To decode SArtFile.bin and compile a folder Named Connected Images:(copy into Terminal)

./SArtFileTool -d -c SArtFile.bin NamedConnectedImages



EDIT
-Edit your files with PhotoShop, for example…



ENCODING
To re-encode the Resources Disconnected :(copy into Terminal)

./SArtFileTool -e ResourcesDisconnectedClassified SArtFile.bin SArtFile.new.bin


Or

To re-encode the Named Connected Images:(copy into Terminal)

./SArtFileTool -e -c NamedConnectedImages SArtFile.bin SArtFile.new.bin

CHANGE THE NAME SArtFile.new.bin to SArtFile.bin and replace the original SArtFile.bin

Can some one help me out please ,

Can't seem to encode properly I get an Sartfile with 0 bytes.
My folder is called "files"
here is the code I use

Code: Select all

./sartfiletool -e -c files SArtFile.bin SArtFile.new.bin

Thank you.

I installed 10.7.3 today and found that its SArtFile.bin is incompatible with 10.7.2! I'm really bummed about this... clearly Apple is trying to make theming Lion as hard as possible.

If our previous savior (is that Alex Zielenski?) can muster the energy to provide a decoder/encoder for 10.7.3's SArtFile.bin, I will lay down and kiss his footprints. Or at least buy any app he's made.

Someone can share 10.7.3's sartfile.bin ?

I used the current v5 tool for the 10.7.3 SArtfile and it works ...

@mindlessmissy

v5 of SArtfile tool is working for me as well. Decoded everything, modded it, and encoded, repaired permissions and it’s working perfectly. Max should be able to get Obsidian working with little effort. Seems that there are just some added resources and numbers have changed.

I don’t think this is the case. Apple is pretty indifferent to people modifying the resources on their personal installations. Because of the way they package up the .bin UI resources, anytime they add or change resources it breaks the binary from a different version. I don’t think they are purposefully adding resources to the .bins intentionally to break modifications, they’re just adding them because that’s the appropriate place to add them.

Which .png file did you modify for the menu bar background color?

Menubar background is now 48 and 101

The menubar Apple is still 11 and 12

49, 50, 99, 100, 102 and 103 deal with menu selection and spotlight in both blue and graphite ...

Glad to hear that the latest SArtFileTool works on the 10.7.3 SArtFile.bin ... I hadn't given that a try. If it does work, it'll make my life a whole lot simpler!

Thanks

Thanks, made obsidian bar a little transparent.

Hi, I'm sorry I've read the readme file within the download but I still don't understand what i'm supposed to do.. I don't know what to do with terminal to encode and decode. im very noob at this, please help :-[

The tools are broken under 10.8. I will most likely not update it.

Very bad news for my Theme "Rebirth"
i hope you do this update

This is done in Extras2.rsrc not artfile or sartfile

Does this still work with 10.7.4?

I've been told that it does but a SArtFile.bin from 10.7.4 doesnt work on 10.7.3.

on a related note... can the login wallpaper be decoded too? (10.7.4)

Do you happen to know how? Been trying to figure it out ever since upgrading to Lion.

here the one marked is the menubar color and use ThemePark 3.1 to apply the change.
