How do I?

[Fragma]

How do I use themes that I've downloaded? I've tried for a few themes but only once got it working (which was by accident).

Can someone perhaps post step by step instructions? (If it's not to much work).

That should do it for you.

You have to add them to your theme folder. and you need to go into cmd prompt and take ownership of uxtheme.dll and change the permissions. I have it set to full control on my vista machine

UxTheme.dll location:
c:\windows\system32\

Theme folder directory:
C:\windows\resources\themes

use this in cmd prompt to take ownership of a file:

Code:

takeown -f {location of file from C:/}

Then its just right clicking on the desktop, "Personalize" them look for the Themes link in that window.

Infinity has explained it well. Also you can change the theme via Tuneup Utilities named program which is overall optimization software and includes features to customize the visual style of your computers appearance.
