[info2:2wca0um9]This will show you how to enable and use custom themes without modifying system files. This method (in the form of a runnable service) was created and maintained by Rafael Rivera at Within Windows[/info2:2wca0um9]
[note2:2wca0um9]This method can be used on Windows XP Service Pack 2-3, Windows Vista (All Service Packs), and Windows 7[/note2:2wca0um9]
[warn:2wca0um9]The UxStyle installer checks to see if typical patched files (like uxtheme.dll) have been patched. If they have, the installer will fail and you must replace these patched files with the original Windows' copies. Check the Frequently Asked Questions part of the tutorial for help with resolving this issue[/warn:2wca0um9]
Here's How:
1. Disable User Account Control (this is only temporary, Windows Vista and 7 only)
2. Download UxStyle Core Beta here (http://uxstyle.com/) and save the file to a meaningful location (such as the desktop)
