Themes for xp?

Hi all, I've just patched my uxtheme.dll, using this, and am looking for some cool themes to play with.

So, what themes do various peoples use, and where can I get them?

If anyone can suggest a vista-like theme, that doesn't mangle the minimize / maximize / close buttons on comodo fw I'd really appreciate it.

this is what I've got atm, Aquinox.



Thanks

Do a search for stylexp and you'll find endless themes.

 

checkout deviantart.com

 

I use a theme called Human and I set it to blue.

Hello,
WSF, that's very Ubuntuesque, I like it.
Thanks,
Mrk

P.S. How do you install it? There's no .theme in the downloaded package?

 

Thanks Mrk. I also have the Super Turbo Tango Patcher to match.

As for the theme just extract the folder to C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes. And then you can select the msstyles as in the screenshot above.

 

Here is another thread to look over: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15881045 Belchfire has some very good themes, Nightshades 5 posts down is good as is Brilliant. Anyway, there are many more and uxtheme.dll patcher won't be needed; just save and extract them to windows>resources>themes.

 

This is the graphite one. Looks great with my Tango native Opera skin.
Thanks for the tip

 

i always get themes from here -

here's a dock - http://www.majorgeeks.com/download2790.html

bb4win is good too, but you have to do a bit of configuring to get it working - http://www.bb4win.org/news.php
here's some screenshots - http://www.boxshots.org/style/ i'm not sure if all the screenshots are bb4win, but some are i think. it's like fluxbox and openbox for linux.

I'd really like a freeware dock that can handle the taskbar icons, and keep everything in the order;

start menu -> quick launch -> thumbnails (optional, not that important) -> taskbar

Visual tooltip does all of this, but it won't let me "fix" the position of any of the objects.

Thanks for all your responses

 

everything you need should be at deviantart and wincustomize.

 

i'd use this dock if i used windows - rocketdock. it's the dock in the second picture i linked to, you can minimise programs to it. here's a video about it -

Luna Royale "Mini Orb" by ~Pgase

Vistaluna Basic by ~Pgase

 

Check out "Crystal dlb 2". One of the all-time-greatest.

I like to have different themes but one annoyance for me is, many themes I try to use do not show 24 point font well in titlebars when apps are running in less than full screen, text spills out of them. I know the font is a large size but with poor sight that is what I use. Also, except for the old classic style themes, the recent documents menu and taskbar button fonts are quite small. Other than that, I like a lot of the color schemes but wish I could get the large fonts having the same behavior as they do in the classic style themes.
