| 107794 | 2002-12-20 09:42:00 | I like Olive Green and Silver (hate Lunar) but feel its high time for more colours. I broswed through Microsoft Update page but there is no updates for XP colour themes. I have SP1, all the critical updates up to today, etc...when will they release more? For a fleeting moment, I decided upon "Style Xp" but uninstalled because it didnt change the "colour", it changed everything, like the x button wood be all square and ugly... All i want is some interesting coloured themes...like a lighter blue, a black, a red, a purple...i in NO way want to change the x, minus,etc button anyway i can myself colour the xp theme, in PSP or PS? open jpegs and just resave them? do i need to extract a .dll and recompile it? |

You will need to replace your copy of UxTheme.dll to use them, as MS themes are digitally signed. You will need to locate version 6.0.2800.1106 of the patched UxTheme.dll file as you are running SP1. Post back if you can't get hold of it. | BIFF (1) | ||

| 107798 | 2002-12-20 20:42:00 | Can't you go into the Appearance tab and there's a button to customise your own colours or something? Can't remember exactly, but it's something like that. In my opinion, Olive has to be the worst of the three colour themes, I don't know who the hell in Microsoft decided it looked nice. Silver would be my favourite if it wasn't for the fact the it just doesn't look as nice as Blue (Lunar). |
