What software are you using for your themes?

As above...

I'm currently using the uxtheme method. It works fine, but the available theme doesn't show up in "Display properties -> Appearance" even though i had them in "Windows ->Resource -> Theme" folder.

What i realised is that with this method, those icon on my taskbar ain't what theme was supposed to display.

Anyone had these problems?

i'm also using uxtheme method.

And Happens pretty much the same to me, I have to rename the folder to the name of the VS so i can be able to choose it from Appearance, if there is two diferrent VS inside i have to choose one and name the folder after it and delete the other. May be there's some other way to choose the VS?

Do u get those taskbar icon that's together with the VS or.. are u getting those original windows icons?

I use Windowblinds 5.1 Enhanced version, iconpackager, object dock.

#427156

I use ShapeShifter :D

#427157

RKdock same as objectdock?

The skin for the two is universal?

#427165

No they aren't the same but RocketDock is compatible with ObjectDock skins.

Thread moved, retagged, and renamed. There are plenty of other threads out there about theme apps, but I'll leave this one since you're all being so nice and friendly. :)

I use windowblinds and avedesk, they seem to be the easiest programs that take up the least amount of resources for me.

#427255

Gonna try AveDesk soon man!

Wonder if they are user-friendly... :D

beckz, just make sure the filename of the theme matches the name of the folder--then it will show up.

Windowblinds and ObjectDesktop for me.

#427642

What's ObjectDesktop? is that a dock or something?

#427756

ObjectDesktop Link

This will also show you what else there is to offer from Stardock.

I don't use any of their products. Only Visual Styles, RK launcher and Avedesk. This keeps things nice and light on resources.

I'm using the uxtheme.dll method and RK Launcher. Very neat.

#427778

I use

StylerTB

WB v5

Object dock

Avedesk2

Flyakite

Objectbar

yzShadow

and a whole lot of other random community apps (macswitch and macsound by Landvermesser, FindeXer)

anyway ObjBar Objdock and WB dont eat up much resources

the more resource intensive ones i tried before would be Yahoo widgets(really eats resources), DesktopX , Winfx,and Topdesk,

i used to use dexpot for my expose clone but found a better alternative(less resource usage), WinExpose
