Toubles with Vista visual styles

Ive been at it for a few hours now and have become desperate, Im trying to install this VS (the uxtheme patcher I used found here) I downloaded the SPO/6.0.6000.16386_XX.rar file and follwed the instructions throughly, changing the 3 system files to ".old" and replacing them with the newer patched files. Than I placed the vs in its directory windows/resources/themes and clicked to activate the theme, but nothing...! In another forum had instructed to install 'VistaGlass' which would patch the files for me, I did, the app said everything was patched.. but still no MediaCenterVistaVS.. What did I do wronge or miss?!

(Note; Im running Windows Vista)

Did you reboot after patching?

Sometimes you have to do it twice

#460639

Yeah, 3 times. I also tryed three different VisualStyles, just incase, and the three of them didnt work either, just like the Media one, after the click of the VS, it opened the themes settings panel

Sounds like the UXTheme hack didn't work.

VistaGlass is cool, but kind of pointless. I mean do you really need 100% transparent borders?

#460653

yeah, I know that VistaGlass is for that, but apperntly it patches the same files..

#460657

Did you right click it and Run as administrator before applying the UXTheme patch?

#460698

nope, theirs no option in the popupmenu, I changed the ownership as well, nothing

It works!

For future referance to people who face this problem;

Verzweiflung on dA had said to install TuneUp2007, and it worked perfectly!
