I though finaly when i got vista that we could download a bunch of themes
and forget about patching but seem not is even more dificult to patch it than XP
whats up with Microsoft and themes

Anyway seem i have to download a vista patch here:
http://www.withinwindows.com/uxtheme-patches/

But i cant find my version

My vista version is spanish:
6.0.6000.16509
Vista home premium edition
OEM_Slp channel

What patch should i download
if you can provide me with a direct link even better

IS it enough downloading this patch
or do i need some other program to make msstyles i download show up?

iS there someway to make Msstyle XP to work on vista?

I ALSO need a Good visual style theme in a light colors like Lightblue, white etc..
to go with a white lightcolored desktop

Hopefully someone can help me out

I do not recommend vistaglazz, simply because it didn't patch it correctly for me. It screwed it up, and I eventually gave up trying to work with it, and did it manually. It's easy and a sure bet. Though I suppose you could try it first, like I did, I just didn't panic when it was stuck on non-aero mode.

Vistaglazz worked fine for me, if you have SP1 use the new beta release.

Coolvibes:

I recommend using VistaGlazz Beta 3 for Vista SP1. Works like a charm.
But in the event you want to manually patch your uxtheme files, check this out:

Vista Glazz works perfectly. I'm using on Vista SP1 right now, have been for a while now with no problems.

I wonder why you'd waste your time on answering in a topic that has (by your statement) been answered thousands of times before.
That would seem like a complete waste of time to alot of people.

After 4 months as a member, you should know by now that we actually help each other out here,
as we all don't have the same knowledge when it comes to computers.

Good, it is still Saturday. We've modified some code and everything seems to work like it should. Beta3 will be able to fix 32bit SP1 systems that have been patched with VistaGlazz 1. VistaGlazz should identify your system as "patchable" (as opposed to "original" for untouched systems). If VistaGlazz identifies your system as corrupt or if you encounter any other problem, please let us know.

We do not have a solution for 64bit SP1 systems that are patched with VistaGlazz 1 yet, since that problem is a little bit more complex.

By this they don't mean a fresh Vista install. I just tried the latest VistaGlazz beta on my new Vista 64 system, and it works perfectly. But by all means, make a backup of the targetted dll's first.

Ditto here. I'm running Home Premium x64 and just tried Beta 3. It worked perfectly fine. Do make a backup of the system though.
