Geared msstyle by Ashelion

August 2004

An easy to use style with 8 colour variations

Please download, try and comment- there are a ton of colour schemes to choose from

Included shellstyles by CyC (thanks CyC :)

Wallpapers are included in my gallery at ashelion.deviantart.com

You have to patch your system to use msstyle files.

You can see instructions and file to use here:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=140707

cancel any windows file protection prompt and allow (click yes) to keep unrecognised file types

You do not want or need the uxtheme.dll on your xp disc, that is what your are

attempting to overwrite to use the uxtheme that enables visual styles.

Give it between 10 seconds- 2 minutes for the windows file protection to appear- sometimes it takes awhile.

After you patch and reboot, and download any visual style you would like to use, extract it to

C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes and click the msstyle file in the appropriate folder

for example, for Geared you go to:

C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Geared and click Geared.msstyle

or alternatively, you should find it in the drop down box on the Appearance Tab

of display properties in Control Panel, when you

correctly extract the file to C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes

Dont forget to install any included fonts that come in visual style packages to c:\WINDOWS\Fonts
