What program do you use to apply visual styles from http://themexp.org

I had stylexp 2.x and i had "bought" it. But i cant "buy" the newer version also the problem is that i lost the installation file of the old version so even tho i have the sn i dont have the installer

I have like 25 days left on the style xp 3.x demo so help

google for uxtheme.dll patch

hmm...u can easily have the *illegal* way out....thats if u want tho. google it.
but i think style xp is the only prog tht allows using themes frm the site.
use windows blinds, i find it much better!

I had already applied the theme thru stylexp I just needed some software so that i could change my theme / visual style when style xp is gone .... i used uxtheme.dll that lee suggested. I havent rebooted yet but seems good

I know this post makes it a double post .... but this is to show that the new dll i put isnt working (mods ... please merge it)
Double post = bump
Anyone have a valid win sp 2 compliant version ???
Ill try a different one this time none the less tho should i have uninstalled style xp 1st ??

Yeah it worked. I googled it and read on neowin the following text ...

Q: My uxtheme did not patch! What do I do?

A: Now hold on there. How do you know it failed? The easiest way to check to see if uxtheme.dll was patched is to simply double-click the msstyles file of a third party theme. If double-clicking loads the display properties dialog with the correct visual style, then the patching process was successful.

Thanks mods for the merge
