Style your theme (Tutorial)

[Grozzy]

This is to style and add new themes instead of the old boring ones that windows XP has

I hate normal, standard, default, you name it!
So heres a little tutorial on how to at least improve your theme.
This is also free.

You will have to download Universal Patcher, the program will mod your uxtheme.dll so you can use 3rd party programs with it.
http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=501245 to download
And log in as me, log in "Lawlosaurus", and the password is "mayiask".
Install it, now you have to reboot.
Now, you can install new themes, (right click/properties/themes)

Get themes at http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/windows/visualstyle/
or Google "visual styles" and alot will come up about visual styles, some will self-install when downloaded.
Or you will have to manually install them yourself.
Open the ZIP file and extract the files to C:\windows\resources\themes in some cases, other, just place them where ever you want and open the "Visual Style File"
Then ether right click/properties/themes or control panel/display/appearance.

[DDRtists]

Did you use my tutorial or did you have it like that before ?

Thats a Windows Vista theme... xP

 

[Grozzy]

So it was like that before, then why post it here ?

 

[Prometheus]

No, I have XP.
I used your tutorial.

 

[Grozzy]

So that would be proof that it works ^^

Heres a new one, unlucky background though :-/

 

[Rad]

The problem with most themes is that theres way to much eye candy... I like plain and original

I use the black windows royale theme with orange button. It doesnt require any special downloads

My background is solid black =]

 

[turok255]

Heres one I did but I didn't need to use your tutorial, Ijust right clicked and left clicked save as backround.

Heres one I did but I didn't need to use your tutorial, Ijust right clicked and left clicked save as backround.

Yea, you just changed your background, not your start menu and such.

 

[turok255]

Ohhhh I thought his only changed the backround also

 

[Grozzy]

I thought it was pretty obvious.

 

[Prometheus]

I thought it was pretty obvious.

lol that was a bit mean

I don't like my theme saying that modified thing so all I do is go change the stuff in the folder so it isn't "modified" lol

 

[Grozzy]

What do you mean by that ?
