Hi chaps.

I've browsed, read, and digested the forums appertaining to this, but it just won't work for me.

I've downloaded the UXtheme multi-patcher, run and re-booted.

Have downloaded a theme from deviantart, extracted into the windows/resources/themes folder - but nothing happens.

On the display properties tab, it won't appreciate it exists.

Any ideas? I don't know where it's going wrong

try double clicking the .msstyles file within the themes folder to apply it....

\windows\resources\themes\THEME NAME\THEME NAME.msstyles

.....doing that brings up the "display properties" box, that's all

:-(

well it seems your uxtheme.dll has not been patched properly. try running the patcher in safe mode.

will i be able to tell if it's actually patched ok? other than trying to use the themes that is!
