phkninja Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 (edited) Thanks, the problem i had was with creating the styles. Thought TGSoft created files like .theme and .style files that are software specific (that only their software understands).I would like to create styles and theme file that can be read by windows once the uxtheme.dll is patched, but does not require third party software to be installed.(Can change the icons in the dll's but would also find it handy to know which dll's i should modify rather than having to go each one individually.)

Just a good ol' patched UXTheme.dll.Also, shell32.dll is a good place to start looking, but be careful. If Windows doesn't reckognize the file after you've modified it, you won't be able to boot. I'd recommend getting a hold of a BartPE disk, or installing Recovery Console before messing with reshacking the system files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
