Alanoll Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 UXtheme.dll controls what themes/visual styles can be used in XP/2003. The "patched" version simply allows you to use visual styles that were created by people OTHER then Microsoft like from such sites as www.themexp.org or www.stylexp.com. StyleXP does the same thing sorta, but this is free and StyleXP isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalavista Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 cool...next question... is it useful to use nlite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[BM]Crusher Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 the "2180" refers to build number 2180 of service pack 2.. there are lots and lots of different build numbers for service pack 2first you have to check which build number you are using (nLite is a good way to do this) then download the appropriate uxtheme.dll for that versionsp1 is good because there is only one "final" sp1 version so everyone can use the same uxtheme.dll.... when sp2 goes official there will be only one "final" version of that also, but it's not out yetnLite very useful.. how else can you fit XP SP2, plus office 2003, plus photoshop cs, plus nero, powerdvd, acrobat, blah blah blah onto your cd?

[BM]Crusher Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 after you have downloaded your uxtheme.dll, 9 times out of 10 you will have to do:1) modifype uxtheme.dll -c2) makecab uxtheme.dll uxtheme.dl_3) use the uxtheme.dl_ to replace the one in I386 folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
