    How to Apply Custom Themes in Windows 7

    For a video tutorial on how to do this please visit this thread: https://virtualcustoms.net/showthread...video-tutorial
    This will show you how to apply a custom theme from deviantART as your theme in Windows 7.

    Here's How:

    1. First you will need to click on the Download button below to download and install either the 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) patcher (auto installer) for your 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7.




    2. When downloaded, unrar the file using WinRar or similar, and run the exe.

    3. Select your user interface language



    4. Click OK


    5. Then click yes when this box appear.



    6. Then you need to patch these 3 files (As you see i already have mine patched) Click the patch outside each file, after patching them all reboot.



    7. Now you need a custom theme, there's a lot of those here on the site so just find one you like


    You can also find more themes on Deviantart, but make sure they work with windows 7.
    They need to be unzipped first.


    8. Now navigate to the Windows folder, find the folder called resources and click on the themes folder. (C:\Windows\Resources\Themes)

    These are the files that has to be placed in the folder:


    9. Then paste the folder and theme provided, then the theme should appear in your personalization menu

    Note: The files are not named the same in all themes. It’s different from theme to theme. What you need to place in the resources folder is a .theme file and the folder with the same name (the folder is where the msstyles is in)
    Also, in most themes there are only 2 files (a folder and a theme file), but in some cases there can be more. The process is the same though, you will just have more variants of the theme available via the personalization menu.

    Good luck
