I want to use the New Standard one but... the computer won't let me delete the files! The uxtheme.dll, and aero.mss or whatever the heck they are. The ones that have to be replaced, that is.

Help!

You need to take ownership of the file(s) first. Then youll be able to change the permissions.

Right click the file

Properties

Security Tab

Advanced

Owner Tab

Edit

Then select the user from the list that you want to give ownership to.

Then you will probably still have to give your self permissions too.

Right click the file

Properties

Security Tab

Advanced

Edit

Edit

Then tick the check boxes.

Ecat, hope you don’t mind. I took this from your post. You explain it well. :)

how do i replace the damn uxtheme.dll?? i have tried manually, with replacer, nothing works. i liked the fugal theme, but im having problems changing the uxtheme.dll . someone please explain

Right click the file.

Go to “Security”.

Click the “advance” button.

Go to “auditing”.

Click “edit”.

Then click “add”. Add the user you want to have the permission. Give full permission. Click ok.

And ok, again in the next box.

Then go to “owner”.

Click “edit”. If your user is in the list, select it and click “apply. If not, add the user.

Then you can go to the “permission”, and click edit. Add user……….like before.

Some files don’t require all the steps. But I think you need this in this case.

There is a lot of Protection in Vista.

If you are not familiar with that, then take a look at this page. It explain how to go around the problem

    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30

      By Copernic · Posted

      FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
