How XP systems Install Desktop Themes

Step by step to teach you to beautify your PC's desktop theme.

Believe that the long-term face of their own computer immutable XP theme Desktop must feel boring it?? If you do not deny, then please open the following Web site to choose a desktop theme package you think beautiful!

If you have already chosen, then let's start!

Look at the desktop theme of my XP system, how?

To do this is really not difficult, if you also have the idea of beautifying XP but do not know how to do, then look down, I will use the simplest way to teach you to make their XP interface beautiful up. (also applicable to Win2003)

Beautify XP Most important is the use of XP theme, this is the premise, we usually touch the dialog box style, button style, window style, menu .... is the theme in action, a good theme will make your XP refreshed ~ ~ This article mainly introduces you to the use of XP theme files Oh ~ ~

Well, there are some things to explain before, many people worry that doing so occupies the system resources, in fact, there is no need to worry. Unless you're using a traditional classic interface, you can use Windows themes just the same, And the use of themes and non-use of themes is very small for resources. It can be said that it is not even perceptible. For each XP theme, it is much the same ..... In a word, whenever you use a theme, it's the same regardless of which theme you use.

No more talking, turning to the chase.

First introduce the topic file, understand this part of the person or lazy to know this person can skip ~ ~ ~ But I suggest you still look, back to the good

Step by step, first, right-click on the desktop and select "Properties", this dialog box appears:

In fact, this dialog box is very rare, we need to use this dialog box:

Here can choose to have style, color and font, etc., now there are very few options, a few of the few options are difficult to see-_-personal comments ~

These theme files are stored in C:windowsresourcesthemes, and you'll see a Luna folder and a Windows Classic.theme file when you open it, where windows Classic.theme is a classic theme for Windows, similar to the Win2000 and Win98 styles, while Luna is the blue theme used by XP by default, There will be a shell folder and a luna.msstyles file under the Luna folder. Where the. msstyles file that is the extension is the theme file, you can double-click Open, and the Shell folder is a. msstyles file that requires some other files, We don't have to know.

So, we just download different. msstyles files (and their supporting shells) to change different themes, as long as you are in a good mood and find a new theme every day, you have a new XP interface every day ~!!

One of the most important before you download the theme file is that you have to do a little bit of cracking. XP is not allowed by default for other third-party theme files. (Selfish performance) so there is a limit on a file called UXTheme.dll in the system, which is something that must be used on other topics, so we have to hack it so that other third-party theme files can be used.

Using the tool: UxTheme Multi-patcher, there is only one executable file.

A very small program, only 1.03M in size.

After downloading run this uxtheme multi-patcher 5.5, after downloading, double click Run:

Click Patch, and then after the completion of the prompt restart, then restart XP

Reference:

Note: The runtime can not put the XP installation disk in the CD-ROM drive, if you are installed from the hard disk XP, then you need to rename the directory of XP installation files, or can not patch

If the Windows File Protection warning is normal at run time, click Cancel to keep these unrecognized files

OK, restart is complete, we can use other themes!

When you open it, you can choose the theme you like to download.

After the download is generally compressed files, decompression opened after the. msstyles file double-click to open:

OK, we can see the preview of the new theme!

If the theme you downloaded is. WBA format, you also need to download WINDOWBLINDS5 software on this site, after installing this software, double-click the. WBA file to change the theme.

Then continue to say, style selection do not move, in the color options will have some of the different styles provided by the author, try it ~ Pick a favorite. The same font can also be selected, click on the "Application", OK, we have used the new theme ~ ~ Enjoy it ~~!!

Up to here, we have successfully carried out the most preliminary beautification, although to this step from the beginning of the effect of the article is still a distance, then for the icon and other resources to save the next time to talk about, first enjoy the endless variety of themes it
