Windows Theme Help

by xfRd • 22 Oct 2008, 00:11 • Journals
I am looking for some who is experienced with custom windows theme's (programs like StyleXP).
What I need is a theme (which i already have) in which 1 colour needs to be changed, should be pretty easy if you know what you're doing I suppose...

but is that a program which runs at the background or is it just a theme you extract and then can use without any other stuff running?

you hacks a windows system file to allow you to add some custom themes ( try patch uxtheme.dll to find that software). Then you can add some custom, you can find some on deviantart.com , neowin forum and more. ( thanks to sol :p )

I dont know if you know about the http://www.istartedsomething.com/20061029/royale-noir/ which is basically the same as the normal windows just in different colours. The only thing i want is to change those colours to my preferences, i dont need entire theme's which change my start button and other icons etc.

Is what i want possible with this program?

You can find some simple templates with your color maybe or you have to create it by yourself and i don't know how to do it.
Never heard about this prog.
Would you like the main xp template with another colours ?
