ewwww mac!!!

 

It's not so much that it's a Mac; it's more the fact that there aren't many customization options so that just about no Mac desktops look special.

 

You can purchase a theme hack, but that's besides the point.

Mine is the boring standard Vista one, with a large mess of icons

 

What are you using for your theme Sungazer? Is it possible to get for free, and does it work on Vista to you knowledge (if that isn't Vista)

[Sungazer]

It is free, its not vista and it wouldnt work for vista that i know of

Basicly it cracks a dll that MS uses to make sure you cant use unreg'd

themes with XP, so its great cause it uses no more memory and cpu

than the normal XP theme, unlike desktop-X or window blinds, which I

have used both of. and theres actually another cool one that i know of

for XP that i used to use called xoblite aka black box for windows.

 

edit: heres some screens of xoblite

Ok, thanks. I have XP on my computer too (not used as much though), so I could use it for that...

 

I'll take a look at xoblite, but what are you actually using?

 

You said "straight xp" in your first post, but searching that on google doesn't turn up much, so are you just saying that you aren't using a themeing program such as those that you mentioned above?

 

Thanks.

 

[EDIT]

Now I get it, I think. You make a change to some dll and then you can use any theme you want. What theme are you using? I can probably find out how to "fix" the dll.

[Sungazer]

lol

 

Yes what i ment was im not using a skinning program. What I used to crack the dll was called

UXTheme Multi-patcher.

 

Btw you'll be happy to know they have one for Vista ... I did a little research.

 

Finding the themes I'll leave up to you though.

I came across the Vista one shortly after my previous post. Here it is if anyone wants it:

Thanks for the help

 

[EDIT]

Whoops, accidently replaced the dlls with the 32 bit ones when I'm on a 64 bit OS. Good thing I had XP.
