Try running the uxtheme.dll patch, you can download it from:

http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=140707...

You then put new themes in C:/Windows/Resources/Themes/

You should then be able to access them from that window... It isn't a program or anything, so it won't slow down your system!

DO I just get like regular windows blinds themes or do I have to download special ones or something:S

RE: Themes by user27089 on 09-19-2005 at 08:56 PM

You can download them from anywhere, I'm not sure if the Windows Blind ones work though, I know that the visual styles usually used for Stylexp do work.

Ok thanks trax, but since I installed xpize do you think it already patched it cuz I think it might have said that somewhere:S

RE: Themes by saralk on 09-19-2005 at 08:59 PM

if you use the uxtheme.dll patch, you can't use windows blinds skins, but you can use StyleXP ones.

Yes but you need windowsblinds running to use them, whereas stylexp themes are msstlyes files so they dont need stylexp if you use the patch.

You can convert WB skins to msstyles using SkinPlant.

And then what? I downloaded that theme, but don't know how to use it. I have ran the UXTheme Multi-patcher from neowin.
I put it in C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes, but that didn't work.

Edit: I put it in C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Aero5203, but it still doesn't work. The Windows Visual Style File is in there with nothing else. The ones that work have a Windows Theme File in the Themes file.
RE: Themes by rav0 on 09-21-2005 at 07:53 AM

That is the correct folder, but what did you put in it.

It should look something like this (link)
