Works with styleXP!You need to patch a small file named uxtheme.dll in Windows XP in order to load unsigned themes and visual styles. There are three ways to do this:

      
  1. Use a theme manager program that patches your uxtheme.dll file automatically. We recommend styleXP from TGT Soft.

    2.   
  2. Use a stand-alone patcher. Try the free  Multi-Patcher.

    3.   
  3. If patching fails, replace your uxtheme.dll file manually with one that is already patched.


All of the above support the Original release of XP, XP SP1 and the new SP2. Once your uxtheme.dll file is patched, download and extract your selected theme to C:WindowsResoucesThemes and then find and double-click the .msstyles or .theme file in the extracted folder to load the theme.

TIP: If the theme only came with a .msstyles file, it won't show up under Themes in Display Properties. You can fix this by loading up the theme by clicking the .msstyles file. When it shows you a preview of the theme in Display Properites, click the 'Save As' button and save it under a unique name. It will now show up under the Themes tab in Display Properties under that name!
