TGTSoft Style XP

[Zenoth]

Hi.

I would like to get new Desktop themes and visual styles. I saw that on my friend's computer today. He explained how it worked basically, it's quite simple. Then he suggested me to get a program called Style XP, from TGTSoft. I've looked at their web-site and, to my surprise, I had to pay to get the complete program. Then I called my friend, and asked him what he was using for his custom skins / themes, etc. He told me it's a patch, but I don't remember its name. Different from Style XP.

So, I have two questions.

1) Is Style XP worth getting and paying for ? And, more importantly, is it a "system resources-friendly" program ? I know I have a quite good system, but we never know.
2) What's that "patch" he was talking about ? Is it better than Style XP ? Is it free ? Any links to provide ?

Thanks.

Thanks !

But unfortunately all the links in that post are dead. I guess I'll have to Google for that .dll file.

Oh sorry mate.

Well, thanks for the offer, but I'm using Service Pack 1. Recently had problems with SP 2. If you have a version for SP 1, then, please send it to my public e-mail here: lyrandori@gmail.com

Thanks !

Well POOP!
email came back to me, said illegal attachment.

Im working on it !

Ok, i think i got it sent.
I had to rename it to uxtheme.xxx otherwise your email server would reject it.

So just rename it to UxTheme.dll to use it.

LOL
HERE it is.

Guess i sent 4 emails to myself for no reason. LOL

Hey, at least you'll get it either way.

 

[Zenoth]

Ok I've installed it ! And it works nice.

Now, to the themes and visual styles hunt !

The only web-site I know, providing such data is themexp.org, know any others ?

 

[MTDEW]

Well as far as im concerned you are already looking ath the best one. (themexp.org )

Just google msstyles , that should turn up a bunch.
