Try not to get Vista theme from InterfaceLiFT. The latest was uploaded in 2006, which was before the release of Vista.

Finaly after days and days of trial and error and restoring the system back to factory default, customs themes r working. Thanks alot and when i figure out how +rep to those that helped. The theme i selected was def. not what i wanted but it was really small. Only around 700KB and the int. here is super slow downloading at about 3KB per second so I took what i could get

ArmageddonAsh Mangekyo Sharingan
what does vistaglazz do?
so i could just path the files my self? how do i do that? i have downloaded the pack that gave me 3 .dll files can i just rename the files stated in the guide and then copy these three files over to it? -

you mean:
1. First download the above files suited by your operating system(i.e., 32 bit or 64bit)
2. Now login with Administrative privileges and navigate to %systemroot%\System32
3. Right-click uxtheme.dll and click properties.
4. Take ownership of the file and close dialogs.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll
6. Right-click uxtheme.dll and click properties.
7. Give yourself (or group) Full Control permissions and close dialogs.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll.
9. Rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.old.
10. Rename themeui.dll to themeui.old.
11. Rename shsvcs.dll to shsvcs.old.
12. Copy patched files into %systemroot%\System32
13. Reboot to take effect.
14. Now you can easily apply any custom visual style. -

ArmageddonAsh: Not sure how good u r with computers but if u read through my thread u will see how big of a pain in the butt i had doing the custom themes but once I reset my laptop to system default (because i messed up patching files) i installed vistaglazz and it worked great. Just thought u might want to know. Maybe you're alot better with computers then me, which wouldnt be hard.

ArmageddonAsh Mangekyo Sharingan

edit: what does Vistaglazz do? -

Hey folks. I'm having some trouble getting Ezlo and the Aero MT Beta (squared windows) to play nice together. In short, I don't know how to combine the windows of the Beta with the task bar/windows button of Ezlo. Any suggestions?

You can use Restorator 2007(free 30 days trial) while follow this guide(Skip Naming and Editing parts). There's a pdf tutorial available for download at the bottom of the page.

Thanks I'll give that a shot this evening!

I'm using the guide that CeeNote put up, and in the first step, I downloaded this file: 6.0.6001.18000_AMD64_XX.rar (477.16 KB). My computer can't open it. What is ".rar"?

Yea I did a little research and found a program called SuperNZB. I'm still going through your guide. Thanks for posting this up; it's really helpful.

I got to the part where I downloaded a theme and when I click on the .msstyles file, I get the following:

It's the wrong file. It has to be a .msstyles file, the one you opened is .msstyles.mui. It's one of the two files with the green icons.
-
I don't see any of those files. Could you give me a good example to use for Vista 64 SP1?
-
It's one of the two files that i've circled in your screenshot. Double click each; one of them should work.
Here are some more themes for vista (sorry it doesn't say whether they're for sp1 or not):

That worked. Thanks.

You're welcome!

hey CeeNote my co-worker wants to customize his XP do u have to patch any files or anything for XP?
-
I think you can use this program to patch xp but I'm not that familiar with xp anymore as i've been using vista since it came out:

...and make sure to download xp-themes; vista-based visual styles won't work.
