Since you did it with the uxtheme.dll file, then perhaps you can do it with hotfixes eliminating the need to install Pre-SP2 hotfixes from a batch.. Tell us how! |

UXTHEME.dll, when hacked, allows you to use unsigned themes (like the ones that are default in WinXP), so all you have to do is unzip the theme to %systemroot%\Resources\Themes, then you can select it from the "Appearance" menu. |

I'm still curious how he got the the uxtheme.dll to work? Either he cracked the digital signature or? It's that or part that is interesting since I dont think he seriously cracked the digital sig. You know though I wonder if the digiatl sig can be faked somehow. Oh well htis will save me much much work trying to get the cd yanked during graphical install was killing me.

So does this mean I can download themes from those other skinner 3rd party apps and use their skins without the apps. WindowsXP will be able to read and apply correctly? if so, interesting...once more! |

Check www.ThemeXP.org I don't think you can use the ones made for progs like WindowsBlinds or whatever it's called. |

I'm a little late on posting, but I agree that this hacked dll works flawlessly. |

Ok, i'm the first to say it works great. But in fact i'm facing another connected problem... In my unattented Cd, on first boot in "useable" windows, theme service is disabled... I must enable or wait for a reboot to get my skin showing... why? |

hmm. The theme service is enabled by default. Check your registry tweaks file to see if you added a theme service disable key by accident, or you probably used a DefaultThemesOff = Yes in the [Shell] section in winnt.sif
