HOW TO USE:

=> Theme (This folder contains the main theme.)
2. Copy all contents in "Theme" folder to "%windir%\Resources\Themes\" folder.
3. Now you can set the theme using Desktop Properties.
4. Also make sure you have patched the "uxtheme.dll" file to allow 3rd party visual styles, if its not patched, then download and run the UXtheme Patcher from here:

Thanks VG, works now but I no doubt will loose it when the trial is over. Wil you do a new fix when the Sp3 is out properly?
Thanks

^^ When SP3 final version will release, you'll just need to run the installer again and it'll remove the time bomb from XP and your XP will become full version again.

It won't work for me. I have windows xp, 2002. The UX patch thing won't download, I tried and the folder shows up with nothing in it.

Hey VG. The theme looks great. Thanks for the efforts. I still can't get the picture box working in the Start menu. I already had the "Use Welcome Screen" checked and it still don't work. That is the only issue I have with the theme. Please help me out! Thanx.
