Bobofthedead 0 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 @ Myrddin: 'S ok, I'm glad I could help... @ TheFreak002: Where did you get that theme? Did you use Windowblinds or some other program? Or is it a Windows theme? Quote "I am the anarchist, I am the antichrist, I am the walrus, G'JOO G'GOO G'JOOB!"

MRavioli 0 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 @Myrddin Well, thats one of the reasons....one point in my life i was obsessed with the mac OS and tried to make my xp emulate it as much as possible. to start things off i downloaded star dock and then got windowblinds for the look. and after the trial ended my computer suddenly became classic mode and i couldnt change it back. once it changed back somehow i just decided to leave the toolbar up there BTW im testing out Rocketdock and i was wondering is there any dock out there in which u can integrate a music player?

Bobofthedead 0 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Hmm... Is there a free or open-source Windowblinds-type application out there? If so, could someone post the link?

Myrddin 5 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Best thing for you to do, if you want it to be free, is to download a uxtheme.dll patch from here and follow the instructions for it to replace its file with a certain .dll on your computer. This enables all themes not signed by Microsoft (which is all but two) to run on your PC. Very few people have had problems with this method and I can bet that more than half of the members on this forum are either using it or have in the past (myself included).

Yata 0 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Yeah, replacing uxtheme.dll is the best way you can go, and I can tell you right now, I love it!

Bobofthedead 0 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Great, it works! I love it, thanks! So, now what? Could I just go to, say, the Windowblinds website, and download a theme, and put it in a certain folder without having Windowblinds?

Myrddin 5 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Personally, the best for themes is the deviantART section for them but there are a lot for Vista, so try not to get bogged down with them all. However, there are some very nice non-OS ones such as Reluna 4, but that's just my taste (well, once was but I've plumped for standard Black XP now).

Bobofthedead 0 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I thought I'd stop asking questions and post my wallpaper... I love mac, although I run Windows due to the fact tht it came with my PC, and annoyingly, Mac has virtually none of the games and apps I use for it...[/img] Quote "I am the anarchist, I am the antichrist, I am the walrus, G'JOO G'GOO G'JOOB!"
