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 :)

ive been wanting my laptop to have vista but everyone says it so slow and a waste but i think windows xp looks so stupid! so i finaly found a windows xp theme! and i downloaded it and i got the folders... i copied the theme folder into what it told me and then i opened the fonts file (where all the fonts on my computer are) and each font has its own little paper icon and it has the name of the font....so anyway i go back to the vistaVG folder that opened when i downloaded it and copied the fonts folder no problem... but when i right clicked in the fonts folder, the paste button was shaded and it wont let me paste the file...what do i do?

Click on "File-> Install New Fonts" and then browse to the folder containing fonts. You can also drag-n-drop fonts in "Fonts" folder.

^^ There are 2 UXTheme Patcher versions: 1 for XP SP2 and the other for XP SP3. So first make sure you use the correct versions mentioned in the above topic.

Then run it in Safe mode and restart your system in normal mode. If Windows shows any dialog box saying it needs setup CD to restore file, click on No or ignore button (which ever is present) and that's it.

Now you can copy the theme to Themes folder and apply it.

^^ Of course its legal and completely safe to use.
