I think I found the perfect XP theme

[darkjester]

There doesn't seem to be a .theme file. I'm a n00b to this, so any help is appreciated.

Ahh i understand where i went wrong, you have to wait a minute for that damn windows thing to pop up after patching.

Double click on the .msstyle file, it "installs" the theme.

How does one install a theme?

Search for Uxtheme.dll. The easiest way is to find the Neowin Multi uxtheme patcher. Then download theme, extract to c:\windows\resources\themes, double click the appropriate theme, and there u go

I extracted the theme to the folder you mentioned, double-clicked the file and nothing happened.

did you follow these steps?

Thanks for the wallpaper, jumpr.

Once or twice. I've gotten tired of cleaning that stuff up since I've got Firefox set to always save to the desktop. It used to bug me but it doesn't any more. BTW, when I posted it, I counted them; I've got 134 icons there now.

Apparently I didn't run the NeoWin app correctly. I tried it again, double-clicked the .msstyle file, and it worked! Thanks! :thumbsup:

Mostly hot deals. It's nice to keep up with them without having to search all of the time. There are also a few threads from OT that I like to keep my eye on. There's no way I'm the only one that keeps so many windows open, is there?

 

[timosyy]

.. The irony is that all those windows are Firefox, yet you don't use tabs.

I've had the Luna VX Enhanced theme for a while but doesn't work well with my current setup .. maybe the next time I overhaul the desktop =p.

Its like standard winXP with a little personal flair.
