Homer, I'm going to try and help you once and for all. I'm going to try to make this as simple as possible.

DOWNLOAD THIS FILE

Unzip it, run it, and reboot.

After you reboot you'll see a new theme.

Then, you can go to http://www.themexp.org and download any theme you like. When you download a theme, unzip it to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\

Now, right-click on your desktop and go to properties. Then change themes as you normally would.

This is as easy as i can possibly make it for you. I hope it helps.

sorry to p*** u off yes it does

Heh. I'm not p***ed off. It's just that so many people have tried to help you and they were unsuccessful. I'm glad I helped

Yep, wasn't that hard was it? It never hurts to try, and its something you should do in future.

You build themes using Style Builder

You'll need some imaging skills (Photoshop, Paintshop, whatever..). I've never tried, but i'm sure it's not easy.

i got a theme i like un ziped it to there then went to chage theme and its not there????

so i went to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\ and thought i would doulbe click on it ans that didnt work. so what shell i do ?

its weird the way u said i cant do it i found a way to do it so its cool

Themes should be unzipped to their own sub-directory. For example, if your theme is named "Sedative", then it should be unzipped to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Sedative

like this...

the "Windows Visual Style File" is the one you want. You can either double-click on it or change your theme through Display Properties. like this...

I hope this finally clears everything up

Amen!

it does i think ijust downloaded a crap theme that dont work

hi

is it possible to use the hacked uxtheme via installation disk so the origional uxtheme is never even there... without causeing a problem with windows file protection and without having to disableing it as well?
