Page For Google Talk Themes
I have created a new page solely for all 6 Google Talk Themes that I made in the past few days. Do check out the link at the side bar on your right.

I didn’t know the Google Talk Themes I have created would receive such a good respond from all over the world. Anyway, thank you for your support. I have written a short tutorial guiding you to create your own Google Talk Theme as well. Hope you like it. :)

Since I posted all 6 themes in different posts in the past few days, I thought might as well do a compilation of all themes here. On top of that, as promised I will show a simple tutorial of changing the colour of Google Talk.

Google Talk Themes

Here goes the tutorial :-

  • 1. You will need a Resource Editor/Viewer. Download anyone according to your preference.
  • 2. Open the original googletalk.exe, which usually resides in C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk folder.
  • 3. Duplicate the original googletalk.exe, just in case you might screw up editing the file.
  • 4. Open the duplicated copy of googletalk.exe using the Resource Editor.
  • 5. Expand the Bitmap tree and save bitmaps 139, 5001-5104, and 6007 (these are the files you need to edit the colour).
  • 6. Edit these bitmaps files, different bitmaps represent different portion of Google Talk’s interface.
  • 7. After editing to your desired colour, replace the original bitmaps with the edited ones.
  • 8. Save it and enjoy. :)

If you find this tutorial useful, please feel free to link back. Thanks.

    Wow, that’s cool. Should have removed the index.php out of the URL though :-)

    I tried, but if I change the permalink structure, the page doesn’t work. :(
