Modify Your Windows

Are you BORED with the standard windows themes?? Do you know you can modify the appearance of window title bars, buttons, and other visual elements!! So here we go with the topic "How to install classic style THEMES on your windows"

Windows has had support for themes, also known as visual styles, since Windows XP. By default, Windows will only load Microsoft-signed themes — but you can get around this fairly easily.There’s a thriving community of theme-builders who are still creating themes for Windows .

How to Patch your system files

Windows checks if themes are signed by Microsoft before loading them. If they aren’t, Windows won’t load them at all. To use them, you’ll have to modify Windows system files — uxtheme.dll in particular — and disable the check. In the past, this required booting into Safe Mode and manually replacing system files. Today, there are easier ways to do this.

UXTheme Multi-Patcher is the ideal solution(free). This application runs entirely in memory, disabling the check without modifying any system files. It’s the easiest, safest way to enable third-party themes.Go to the website http://www.windowsxlive.net/uxtheme-multi-patcher/ to download the zip

After downloading the zip,extract it and you will get an application....Run it and follow the instructions......

Finding and Downloading Third-Party Themes

You’ll find custom visual styles for Windows on a variety of websites. One of the best places to hunt for visual styles is on Deviant Art.May be if you want, I will post some good websites and themes for particular windows versions in next blog.. Check the appropriate category page for your version of Windows...

Some other websites are......

1. ExpoThemes
2. Classic Shell

Choose a theme you want and download it to your computer.Many themes are distributed in .rar format. If you want to open these, you’ll need a file-extracting program like the free 7-Zip.

Installing Visual Styles

Themes are located in the following folder:

C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\

Each theme has its own subfolder here. To install a new theme, just drop its files into the Themes folder. The .theme files should be in the root of the folder.

Note that some themes may include other assets and require you to follow additional instructions before they will work as intended. For example, themes may include custom fonts and icons. The theme’s download page — or included readme file — will generally contain information on completing the installation process.

If you do need to install fonts, just drop the included font files — in .ttf format — into the following folder:

C:\Windows\Fonts

Once you have a theme installed, you can double-click its .theme file to switch to it. You’ll also find it listed alongside the themes included with Windows in your desktop personalization control panel.

Done!!

If you still don't get any theme or can't install, just ask me...And yess If you get any classic themes, do share with me (I change a theme per week!!)

Stay tuned for more cool stuff of android and windows(pc).................
