I had a lot of trouble in the past with my system getting all screwed up when I downloaded new themes. Now I'm thinking about trying it again and was wondering if anyone here can tell me where I can get clean/legit software to run it. I'm also not sure where to get the themes themselves.

sorry for such a newbie question. Thanks so much in advance!

uxtheme.dll patch is the best way to go. Don't buy StyleXP or download anything from themexp.org. StyleXP is a program that does something you can do for free, while themexp.org is known for loading everything (whether the author consents or not) with spyware.

true... but it is also the user that should have antispyware proggies installed and watch what they click when installing something

No, it is the user who needs to be educated and compute wisely, part of which involves not downloading crapware from dodgy sites.

Antispyware software is there to catch the stuff that the user can't. But it is no excuse for clicking blindly, and definitely not an excuse for downloading stuff that you KNOW is infected. :rolleyes:

For a very long time, I had a problem with Windows not allowing me to move, rename or delete folders after I'd made minor changes to their contents, like renaming files. I had to use Unlocker to get around this. (Great freeware, btw.)

That and a bunch of other annoyances magically disappeared after I got rid of StyleXP and switched to a uxtheme patcher. Hmmm...

TGTSoft should be ashamed of themselves for the crap that's on themexp.org. I'm dumping StyleBuilder as soon as an alternative msstyle editor is available.

Resource Hacker has, and always has been a viable alternative to StyleBuilder. Resource Builder is yet another option.

I dont find that Resource builder is another option for making MSStyles. So if anyone has another suggestion that It would be nice to know about it.

Thanks for the info though.

stylebuilder.

resedit is a great one. it's just like reshacker, but it allows you to edit stuff directly.

i use reshacker for bitmaps, though.

    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
