BRPXQZME Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Depends. There are several ways to skin your XP. Usually skins come with instructions so you know which way. Linking it here wouldn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidimanNull Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Windowblinds: usually it will assign itself to most wba files and all other file formats, no need to explain that Visual Styles: VS's must be placed in your /WINDOWS/Resources/Themes directory, you must ALSO have your UXTheme.dll file patched ( Patcher can be found here: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=308905 ) before seeing the styles. Thatll be all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asuma Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 UXTheme can be uninstalled, right? It told me to input Service Pack 2 Cd, I don't have it. I uppdate to Sp2 thru MS.

MidimanNull Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 You can always press cancel, the installer will make a backup. As for vs's? http://www.deviantart.com/ http://www.customize.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
