After a long period, I’m very excited to announce my new theme “VistaVG Blue Refresh” for Windows XP:
Download VistaVG Blue Refresh for Windows XP
Alternate Download Link
Its an update over my previous theme “VistaVG Blue“.
Many ppl liked this theme and that’s why I decided to update this theme.
There are 2 versions in this theme as usual:
- Blue32 (for 32x icon size)
- Blue48 (for 48x icon size)
FIX:
1. Item selection yellow color bug fixed.
NEW:
1. New Window Frame
2. New Blue Progressbar
UPDATE:
1. Titlebar buttons updated.
2. Menubar updated.
3. Shellstyle updated.
4. A few colors like selection, hover, etc updated.
HOW TO USE:
1. Download the file and extract its content. You’ll get a folder “VistaVG Blue Refresh Theme by Vishal Gupta“.
2. In this folder, you’ll get 2 more folders:
=> Fonts (This folder contains Segoe UI fonts required for the theme. Copy them to “%windir%\Fonts” folder.)
=> Theme (This folder contains the main theme.)
3. Copy all contents in “Theme” folder to “%windir%\Resources\Themes\” folder.
4. Now you can apply the theme using Desktop Properties.
5. 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:
For XP SP3 Users - Download UXTheme Patcher
For XP SP2 Users - Download UXTheme Patcher

That was awesome!
Initially I ran into problems, but after patching the uxtheme.dll file with the Multipatcher everything went well. But before that, I had to rename the i386 folder in C:\WINDOWS since the Multipatcher could not patch if that folder is present. After that, the folder returned with its original name when I restarted Windows. I have Windows XP with sp3.
Thanks dude
