The Spanish-localized uxtheme library has problems, hence the rename to .txt. It doesn't work so don't use it. Until I get a new one, it'll remain there. I'm thinking of getting a copy of the MUI and extracting DLLs from that...

I realy like your guide and I used it too,but there still are some things that are unclear to me.Esspecialy ONE thing.I explain.:so I copy the theme to the resources folder,everything works fine but the visual style doesnt change completely to the one in the preview.The only thing that doesnt change are the icons in the window toolbar.

So I would like to ask you how I can change those as simply as possible.

here's a picture of what I mean.

Our guide only really covers problems with patching the uxtheme.dll and to get any theme to show up. As this is a guide realted forum and questions and answers adhearing under the specific forum rules and to not cause disruption I would kindly ask you to move your question to:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showforum=34

Not that we cannot answer your question (I would personally suggest trying another theme) but it would be best for this thread at the moment to keep the questions specific to the topic. Thank you :)

http://67.21.149.202:8080/repository/Patch...ndows%20XP/SP2/ works and he's looking to replace the file manually not use a patcher to do the process for him...

This has probably already been answered, but I can go to any theme site and download a new VS after replacing my uxtheme.dll right? (I assume VS and theme are interchangeable). Does it matter if the VS is a .msstyle or .theme file?

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
