UX Theme patch: http://www.withinwindows.com/uxtheme-patches/
Or use VistaGlazz, if you dont feel like mucking around with files.

There is now a section for Vista themes on DeviantArt here: http://browse.deviantart.com/customization...util/visstyles/

Place the themes in C:/Windows/Resouces/Themes, Then change the theme as you would usually do.

GREAT IDEA

Thankyou for adding my themes BlueEye, RedEye and Vectrum..

Much appreciated....Cheers mate

LunaVista has what I consider porn in the screenshots... so beware. Mods might want to remove

Lunavista is fine. the background is from some video game or something..... i find no problem with it.

Just added some more themes.

very nice, to scared that i will destroy my system if i apply them lol (windows blinds and changin boot scrren and stuff made ma last install of xp quite unstable lol

Hi Dazzy, ive made another one, heres a link if you think its worthy of being posted here


Tiberium - A Green Aero theme

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/53802225/

Added it along with some more themes. =P

does anyone know of a program that will edit a shell.dll ?

Yeah I tried replacing the .dll but I must have used the wrong one since there are two. I had to do a system restore from the disk to fix it. if anyone knows which version I have to use I have an AMD Opteron Dual Core CPU I know of those .DLL's were for amd 64 and something else

Hi Dazzy, Ive created a pack with 7 different styles.

LINK TO.....VistaRemix - 7 colour Theme Pack

Added.

Tried modifying uxtheme.dll but cannot change access rights. Activated invisible administrator and logged on but still had no write priviledges. Do I need to change something to gain access rights to the file and give myself full write access?

Added some more themes to the list, they are popping up everywhere now. =P


I have found this little tool that takes ownership of files, download it and install, then shift + right click and select Take ownership

Nice


Added some more.

great... thanks!!

hey, i need help. i'm trying to use the vistaXT theme but i can't figure out for the life of me how to get it to work...i can get all the rest of them to work. seems it's missing the .theme file? or i'm missing something lol. any help would be great, thanks

I need help.... Themes worked before, but after recent update it cannot be applied anymore. Any ideas?
Update was on this Wednesday 11th....

There is a link to the fix in the first post.

oooo, thanks a bunch Dazzy!

Ive done everything it said perfectly yet still the themes wont appear in the list. Obviously these "it's as easy as this" instructions you give so matter-of-factly need work. What am i doing wrong? I replaced all three files in System32 and installed the themes into the directory...this isnt worth the trouble.

Did you read this?

yep, read it...set it up identical to the
"proper" layout..i get an error message "none of the visual styles could be applied!"

What a nightmare...in one of the themes, "lunavista" there is no .theme file..too funny..well that explains the error message..what a waste of my time.

Did vista glazz stop working after that update too?! Because the maximized windows are not transparent anymore....

Try installing it again, I still have transparency on maximised windows..

Also, im updating the list as we speak.

EDIT: Updated.

Well, I just changed my theme to a different one, and it worked... I guess it doesn't like that particular theme I'm using... Oh well


P.S

cool myspace Dazzy!!!

Love these! Good way of changing what your windows looks like without using windowsblinds which can use up a lot of ram on machines which dont have much

Oh my god! I tryed to fix theme to my vista 32 bit, and it wont work.. well i dont know where to put what.. I GOT CRAZY! anyone help me before my PC gets dead


edit: my comp~ is getting slower.. Dont know why.. but ah! help dont want themes if my comp gets mestup ATM

@ Borna, these themes shouldn't slow you down at all.... check if you're spyware/virus free




Any Ideas on how to install Aero Unified?

nice thread! thanks for sharing guys!

wow! nice to see sooo many themes being shared...........can someone give me a step by step instruction on how to download as well as install some new themes onto my pc........i'm new to this..........many thanks

Help

It took me a while to figure it out, In the original aero folder, just rename aero to aeroold and place the new areo in there like this:

ooo Thanks so much Dazzy

this sounds like a dumb question but, will these themes work with Home basic because I don't have Aero?
