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?

    • Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes or combining meshes, generating a thorough PSO cache to allow shader pre-compilation and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly and no the engine can't do all that for you that's not how any of this works.
