i'm a newbie here, i hv download a theme file from wincustomize.com, and i cant straight apply that theme from desktop>right click> themes i hv follow the way TS teach me but the UXTheme multi patcher need my windows XP SP2 CD but i dont hv it, how do i apply new themes to my computer?? (i just see the first post from page 1, 2-page22 no see)

u dont need the windows cd, all u have to do is just apply the patch and when the windows protection prompt u for windows cd just cancel it. then ur patch is completed. then restart ur pc > apply the theme that u choose.

hope that's help.

oh, but now i hv patch the things, after i restart i still cant apply my theme, is it apply at right click on desktop>properties>themes?? but the windows only support .themes format, but the theme i download is DESKTOP FILE, is it the theme file has to put in somewhere else?

everywhere u can put the theme file, usually to make it ease people put the file in C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes. Theme file is in .msstyle extension.

Freak`

wat is .msstyle?? so i hv to convert my .DESKTOP FILE to .Theme file?? how to do it?

what the deffrent among these three "Object Dock: http://www.objectdock.com/
Moby Dock: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download2908.html
Y'z Dock : (no download link)
RK Launcher: http://home.cogeco.ca/~rklauncher/" ??

it's a format for windows skin. dun kno bout .desktop extension but to manage themes easier, maybe u can use a skinning programs like windowsblind or style xp etc

most of the functions are same. just hv to try them urself to kno ur style. i think yz dock n rk launcher is open source program
for beginners i think object dock is good.

then which one if for amateur leh?hehe..Moby Dock?

try it urself leh.. dude

Is there a way I can customize the way my thumbnails look?



The yellow folders don't go with my current theme.

You'll need to do hacking with your explorer.exe

try Resedit.

really sorry for giving u gents a headache....newbie here. tried the bricopack because i think it required the least hassle..the problem is :


1. cannot change the wallpaper...it uses default wallpaper?? because i cannot find the 'desktop tab' in display or desktop properties.

2. removed the bricopack and reverted back to normal xp but the 'desktop tab' is still missing..

what happened?? do i have to format again??

p/s still maintaining the yahoo widgets and stardock though...

thank u ladies and gents...

Thanks for the idea, but since I'm a n00b with editing I found another solution:

You can view the complete thread here.

I'll just attach the shell file here; incase anyone wants it.

Oh and just for showing off..
