Does anyone know how to use skins for Windows XP (with the hacked DLL). I need some help asap!
i'm not sure precisely i just used windows blinds, a cracked version... it didn't exactly help me understand it but back then i just wanted a new skin but it made my pc slow with the amount of space it used.. bext asking metalskin he's a chest of knowledge :lol:
what kinda style? Vista style?
get styleXP, the dll hack is very difficult to make work
A lot of people don't know this about me, but I am a GUI FREAK
styleXP is really good, its a reasonable size and you can customize pretty much everything with it :)
I use Windowblinds and desktopx for the widgets and all that funky jazz!!!!!
i'm not so up with the theme area, though i know bits and peices. Have a gander at the link:

It will dispell a lot of the hearsay about theme hackin under windows. To quote from the link:
Note that the link provides some resources for editing themes that are very handy, so check em out and have fun!Quote:
Q: Why don’t people use Stylexp?
A: The uxtheme hack has several advantages over Stylexp.
-the uxtheme hack is simple. You simply replace the file with a hacked one and that’s it. No installations, no need to run and configure programs, no hassle.
-the uxtheme hack does not waste resources. Stylexp patches uxtheme.dll in memory, but the uxtheme hack replaces the file physically on the system. This means that you are unlocked forever (until Microsoft creates a new uxtheme.dll file).
-the uxtheme hack is completely free!
Yeah I can get you a free download of windows blinds. I also use desktop x, cursor xp, bootskin and logon studio. I got my OS pimped out!
google search for uxtheme.dll hack. you should find an installer for it somehwere. most likely customize.org has it.
Install the hack. Download the themes and move them to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\ and then double click on the theme file. That's all.
thanks unit i'm going to try that :)
