New theme issues

[calvinbiss]

I recently downloaded OpusOs and Longhorn Inspirat, add a little flavor to my life you know. I extrcted them to windows/resources/themes as directed. but, when i go to click on the .msstyles for either one, the "Dislpay properties" window opens to the appearance tab, but neither of my 2 new themes are there.

Am I being stupid or missing something? What the hell, i want new appearance now!

Do you have the hacked uxtheme.dll file?

Only themes that have been digitally signed by Microsoft can be used, but there are ways around this.
