April 21, 200422 yr Once my installation is complete and i install some of my themes all i get in the preview panel is mainly black where the graphics would be, this stops me clicking apply in the fear that i wont be able navigate back to unapply it as all buttons/titles bars etc are black. Pretty sure i have the latest version and i followed the guide that was part of the thread when the newest version was announced but to be sure where can i find the latest version and if the unattended websites installation instructions are out of date where can i find an updated version.
April 21, 200422 yr There isn't anything wrong with the uxtheme.dll file provided for Windows XP SP1. The only reason I can see from the problems you're getting is because you might be using a beta of Service Pack 2?
April 21, 200422 yr Author No, i want a custom uxtheme.dll so i can add all my custom themes, but as said when i load my custom themes they appear as mainly black without any graphics in the preview panel.
April 21, 200422 yr you may not have the visual styles properly loaded in the correct directories. Even if the screen looks black, it won't come out black.Shouldn't have any problems.
April 21, 200422 yr Author no it does come out black, and i takes ages to change back to a default scheme as all buttons and menus are black so you have to guess what is where. When i install Style XP everything is how it's supposed to be and all my installed themes are listed without directory structure changes being needed.
April 22, 200422 yr This happens to me when I try to apply a theme (or .msstyle) that is not located in %systemroot%\Resources\Themes\. That is, from, say, D:\Install\Themes\blank.theme and not C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\blank.theme.Is this what you're doing?
May 17, 200422 yr I know where you can download it, just not sure it's allowed to post the link here?
