    You don't need to use a program to get themes on XP, all you have to do is patch some small .dll file, download any theme and put it in the "\Windows\Resources\Themes\"  folder.

www.themexp.org was also given as a place to download themes. it says i need  stylexp, can i use the uxtheme.dll (patched) to use the themes?.....where else can i get themes?

thanks

Hi. The `UXTHEME' patch is basicily the same as Style XP, but the patch is better. The reason is that the patch just makes it so windows can `See' themes made by other people, whereas StyleXP is a program that has to constantly run to force windows into using third party themes

These windows themes should not be confused with WindowBlinds skins, which are also themes but they are designed for a seprate program called `WindowBlinds'

how do you add the custom themes to windows then

Download a visual style, put it in the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\[visual style name] folder, as stated above.

ok, thanks, souse themes for style xp and NOT windows blinds? ok.
thanks for the help shawnz

go to: http://themexp.net you should see the themes you want.

oh cheers, on that now

edit: it wont load
