Any way to enable differenct Windows XP themes without 3rd Party Software?

[Schnieds]

Hey,

I know that there are 3rd party apps out there that allow you to add Windows XP theme support (i.e. WindowsBlinds) but is there any way to natively add support to Windows XP so you can add new themes?

Thanks!

Run this. For future reference, it's called the Uxtheme multi-patcher. Patches your uxtheme.dll file without the headache involved with doing it manually. If you must know how to do it manually, however, you simply reboot into recovery console and replace uxtheme.dll with a patched version to allow unsigned themes.

Or you boot into something like Knoppix or another OS installed on your computer and replace the uxtheme.dll files that way. The patcher is still the easiest way to go though.

Awesome. Exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks!
