Rick Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 Aaron...don't you have to use M$Styles or ThemesXP in order to put on third party themes? I am still so darn confused about this myself.Rick:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babis Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 There are 2 ways to use themes out there.One way is using a program called Windows Blinds, which is basically another program like MS plus.Then there is StylesXP which modifies xp so you it accept themes made by non MS.MS didn't want to let anyone else use thier THEME concept, thus poeple have to figure out a way around it ... and stylexp is the answer ;-)01. Download Stylexp from h**p://www.tgtsoft.com/download.html02. Install Stylexp. (System boots)03. You have a new theme called toothpaste04. Check one of the following sites for themes:04a. h**p://www.boomgames.com/xpthemes/browse.php?type=theme04b. h**p://www.themexp.org/05. Choose a theme / download it/ unzip files 06. Make sure files are in (X:WINDOWSRESOURCESTHEMES) as Aaron said07. a. Some authors create a .theme so you can easily find it from the (right click desktop:::>properties::>themes:::> and select the theme from the drop down menub. other authors just provide .mssstyles (Thus all you do in that case is to double click on itPlease note:a. Some themes comes with wallpapers, others don't. It really depends on the authorb. check h**p://xp.modrica.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=799It mentions that some of the themes that were made for Plus are compatible within xp (I haven't tested them, but Xperties did, and I'm pretty sure he's righ ;-) )REPLACE ** with tt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
