Windows 7 3rd party themes - anyone got them working?

NOTE: THIS IS NOT ABOUT REGULAR WINDOWS 7 THEMES WHICH ONLY CHANGE THE DESKTOP BACKGROUND AND COLORS.

I'm using Windows 7 atm but as usual, it doesn't look too good. I know you could skin XP or Vista by patching uxtheme.dll, so I wondered if Windows 7 had the same functionality. I googled it, and found this:

I have now succesfully patched my uxtheme.dll. I'm just wondering how to install any custom themes. I have some 3rd party Vista themes lying around but double-clicking them doesn't seem to work nor putting them to Win7:s theme folder.

Anyone succesfully themed their Windows 7?

everyone is complaining about how slow and unstable vista is, but all of a sudden all of you geeks use windows 7, ignoring the fact that it's beta and fucked up. what's the matter with you?!
It's better than Vista! http://xkcd.com/528/
