Good Vista theme for XP
First install the UxTheme patcher which enables you to use Visual Styles in XP
Vista themes you can find a whole bunch of at DeviantArt here or here
Just unzip the ones you download and doubleclick the .msstyle files
The advantage of using Windowblinds is you will get to use per-pixel skins which will give you the semi-transparency as seen in Vista, and you don't have to "patch" your system files.
Yeah, I was an idiot, not knowing anything about skins and themes. And downloaded some themes and ran a patch, and i realy wish i didn't, when i [rightclick.Taskbar]>Poperties it shows the skin i downloaded (ugly black Vista wanna be one) aposed to the standerd blue luna windows.
Anyone know how to restore patched 'explore.exe' and 'dllcache' files?
U don't need to to restore, just change back to Luna and it should fix itself...unless you downloaded the Transformation Pack, in which case you need to uninstall
It was a patched that altered the explore.exe fill in [C:/>Windows] I just fixed it, the patch i used came with an un-patched explore.exe file (that i didnt see before) and It cleared everything up,
Windowblinds Basics - that'll get you started with Windowblinds. There's a ton of Vista blinds out there, just find a few you like and try them out. Might want to check this out too: What's the advantage of buying Windowblinds?
Hey just use the Vista Transformation Pack 6. It will change almost everything from XP look to Vista. Its alot easier and its also safe.
