How Do I Change my Window's Theme/skin/layout?

[GunBlade008]

Do I install the icons the same way I did with the themes?

Nope, you would have to use an app like iconpackager.

I am at work so I can't attach or open some things lol, but just dl and install the app and then open the iconpackager (ip) themes.

you can use the trial for like 30 days or so.

Then un-install, re-install and keep using for another 30 days and so on/so forth.

I would personally just buy it, its a nice little app. There are other items out there to use but I prefer IP for ease of use.

The longer way, would be to download your icon set, and use Resouce Hacker to change every single icon in the shell32.dll file...but Iconpackager is better.

Also to give rep click on the star, underneath the avatar. Also, if you want Iconpackager, PM me.

Wow... I never knew it was possible to modify this much of windows. Which of these would you guys say is 'most reliable' - in that it doesn't slow down CPU (much or at all), randomly crash, weird graphical problems.. etc?

UXTheme hack. Windows Blinds will hog resources. Using Windows XP theme system is the best way to customize Windows to your liking.

Yah what Matt said.

Plus they are all pretty reliable apps, you shouldn't have probs. Just depends how much work you are willing to put in.

I'm a large fan of getting the VStyles from customize.org. It's done me good, anyhow.

Good luck, mate!

I think he was talking about the uxtheme patch, which was stated before. That thread should work.

I cleaned up my attachments, but here is the repost.

Since I don't want users going else where.
