Recommended Posts

Does anyone know any good themes for X.P that you dont have to go through window blinds or anything to use?

 

Ive got the Royal theme at the mo, but getting bored of it.

 

Info Please.

Find the hacked uxtheme.dll (it's a kind of .exe patch you need to install) then you can use all themes without shit like stylexp or windowblinds.

by themes do you mean like the black colour for the task bar in my pic?, the crosses glow red, and the other two in the top right glow blue when the mouse is on top of them.

No, it's what Dieter said. Download themes from Deviantart once you've applied the hack.

I wouldn't mind getting a new theme too.

Do you just need to copy and paste a hacked uxtheme.dll over the normal one to install it?

 

I've got a uxtheme.dll and a uxtheme(3).dll in my Windows folder?? Would I need to update both of those? :wtf:

Yes that looks awsome.

 

But its windowblinds isnt it?

i think it is, is there anything wrong with windowsblinds? ive been using this for ages and it wasnt a problem to set up, i think

also what is a uxtheme.dll? cos if there are better ones than the one im using then id like to change.

You hacked a .dll, it's normal that windows complains. Nothing bad will happen.

 

And Windowblinds basically covers your theme, doesn't replace it iirc. It uses a lot of RAM for what it does.

Have fun playing. :) I regularly switched between themes for a long time before finding one that I loved.

Smooth move into a desktop thread there.

 

This was originally intended to show my idiotic cousin where a button was, but it'll do.

Souluna Remix theme, easily one of the best out there. Simple, small, sober, readable, sexy.

I had some troubles when I tried fiddling with themes through the old .dll method, I have replaced the uxtheme.dll file with a fresh copy from Microsoft but my problem persists.

 

Basically when I open any program, be it Dreamweaver, MSN whatever, my screen breifly goes black, then comes back with the program open, but the colour changed from 32 bit to 8 bit. What could it be?

Whats wrong with Windowsblinds? Sounds like safer alternative to me.

 

On this page you can download a Warcraft theme if you like: Warcraft theme

 

The point is that Windowsblinds uses extra resources, but the dll method doesn't.

For those that are having problems. Sorry, I had none, so don't know what the problem could be.

Caris, you're already using the same one that I do. :)
