i was wondering which is the best site for windows skins? eg. windows visual syle files

Thx in advance

the uxtheme.dll patch

why? because it does not waste any extra process memory, it is totally free and changing themes is easy. Infact all it does is allowed custom themes to load like windows does

He was talking about sites to download visual styles not how to apply them.

Try WinCustomize as Blair posted
as well as Themexp , DeviantArt, StudioTwentyEight , and the customising xp area in Neowin  always has great new releases.

Hope this helps

you extract them into c:// windows > resorces > themes i think then you select them in your apperance settings

Once you know you have successfully patched and rebooted your computer you should be able to double click on your new msstyle theme and it will install the theme itself and open up the display properties window allowing you to play with that themes individual settings
