    Thanks. I'm tending to shy away from that specific UXTheme Patcher, because if you read the comments section... many, many people are having problems with it, and the creator hasn't fixed the bugs yet. In the instructions that were on DeviantART for the Blend 2.0 theme, it said to take ownership of some system file and replace it with a system file from the theme... does not doing that affect the theme in any way, like change its appearance or anything like that?

     

    Well I have used the patcher on a good number of computers without any problem at all. And manually changing systemfiles is no need anymore with the help of the above linked orb changer and this system replacer app (http://www.door2windows.com/windows-theme-installer-install-themes-in-windows-7-vista-with-ease/). And whenever u wanna go back to the original files, just run the app and choose restore..simple and easy:)

    Oh, and if u are not happy with patching files use uxstyle (http://uxstyle.com/)

    Nice desktops as usual Mr.Brownstone. I'm wondering, how do you install new visual styles in Windows 7? It was very easy in Windows XP, but it seems much more complicated in Windows 7, with a lot more system file replacing to do. More specifically, how do you install the Blend 2.0 theme? The instructions on the DeviantART page of the theme don't help much.

     

    Thanx:)

    Patching the files is pretty easy, just run uxtheme patcher (http://deepxw.blogspot.com/2008/11/universal-theme-patcher.html) and patch the 3 files and reboot.

    Just make sure you run the correct exe for your system, 32 or 64 bit.

    Then you place the themefile and the blend folder in the themes folder inside the recource folder in windows folder..just like you did in xp.

    To change startorb just run this little awesome tool (http://www.door2windows.com/windows-7-start-button-changer-change-your-windows-7-start-button-with-one-click/)
