Thread: Themes for Vista

You need a separate program. Try googling "Vista skin"

I downloaded one of the files, this was in the ReadMe.txt:

Please use Take Control to take ownership of files that you will be replacing. Also don't forget to back up your originals. Every file you
take control of, needs to be backed up, I can't stress this enough!! So please back up the files. Also it seems as though some people are trying to
use this on versions of Vista which are NOT RTM (Version 6000) This will only work on 32 bit build 6000 when replacing the files.

Should you have any problem, please PM me @ R0UNDER.deviantart.com

BACK UP YOU FILES!

Copy Aero Diamond (Style) to c:\windows\resources\themes

Replace files as you desire. They are provided for your viewing pleasure, and complete Aero Diamond.

^^ dear lord....

you'd have thought a simple theme installer wouldn't be too much trouble

and I downloaded one of the skins as well
what's with the DLL files (hence 32bit restriction)?
it's a skin....

I guess some stupid people don't dare install programs, because everytime they run an .exe, Vista tells them the program potentially could be malicious. Getting people to install stuff manually is easier

does vista not have a built-in skinning system?
seems a fairly obvious thing for a desktop OS

That insert list could really be endless for vista.

I don't think I wanna do that then. I don't trust my abilities to tool around inside my OS.

That sucks.

You can't move a bunch of files? What are you? Retarded?

Get Vista Glazz. It will allow you to install themes, which go into C:\Windows\Resources\Themes.
