=( I've tried and tried and still cannot get that theme for Windows 7...
My laptop is of the Acer Aspire series.
I have downloaded the Universal Theme Patcher and patched the 3 dlls, and downloaded Satukoro's "Luna port to Windows 7 -Aero-" and copied the Luna.theme file to the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\ folder. However, when I run it, all it does is change the screen saver to "None" and the desktop background to "blisshd." The style of the windows remains the same as the theme which I had selected right before selecting Luna.
Is there anything I did wrong here? Did I skip some important step somewhere? Any help would be much appreciated =D
VG
^^ Did you also copy the "Luna" folder to "Themes" folder? Also try to disable "Desktop Composition" option in System Properties.
