Title: Tech Help Req: Windows SP2 and Custom Themes
Post by: Fineus on August 08, 2004, 04:25:23 am

This one goes out to anyone with the new SP2 installed. I've installed it without any issues except one, it overwrote my uxtheme.dll file and I can no longer use custom themes with Windows XP (and may well go insane if I use the default much longer).

Has anyone been able to hack Windows so that new themes can be used? If so can they send me the relevant files etc or at least point me to a place that will do them.

Sorry to be a pest, my first effort - overwriting the .DLL again - didn't work. I'm kinda at a loss for now.

After a little digging, a solution indeed presented itself. Thanks for that Ryx :)
