cow Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 hello,i am brand new to windows server 2003. i know all the ins and outs of windows xp (pretty much) but have never used server before. i am trying to enable themes and it is not working. i have followed the guide to make server into a "workstation" here: http://win2k3.msfn.orgi have enabled the "Themes" service and set it to automatic and hardware acceleration is set to full on my video card. whenever i try to apply the "Windows XP" theme (luna), it gives me the non-skinned version (similar to classic, but not exactly the same). then when i try to click on the "Appearances" tab in the display properties, it hangs for a moment then closes.all my directx tests work fine.please note that i have installed the uxtheme.dll patch found on the guide i mentioned above.can anyone help me? what else should i be looking for?

cow Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 i figured it out. as it turns out, i had incorrectly replaced my uxtheme.dll file to an incompatible version. once i got the right file, the themes showed up.it would be nice if the author could update the website (http://win2k3.msfn.org) to include the service pack 1 uxtheme.dll file as well.

softice Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 It's no needed to replace uxtheme.dll, if you only want to use the "Windows XP" theme (luna). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
