XP Styles

RobertFoster

I got a program a while ago that manages styles for Windows called StyleXP. Unfortunately, it was only a trial and I have to uninstall it in 7 days or pay $20

Anyone know where to get free styles, or a free alterntive to the above program? I think I'm doomed to go back to "Windows Classic" :mad:

it doesn't take up resources either and no start up program...replaces xp's uxtheme.dll file

www.themexp.org is good for themes

www.opusworks.org (i think the url is) is my favourite skinner

I've been using that. No issues after install (some issues during install), works rather well and you wouldn't notice it being there at all. There may be isues after installing SP2 (AFAIR there are two hacked versions of uxtheme.dll - one for a virgin XP install and one for an SP1 install so there may be a new one required for SP2)

Sorry fo resurecting such an old thread
ive downloaded a few themes from themexp.org and they seem to have spy/ad ware, anyone else noticed this

yea theyve wrapped some of the themes with ads to help pay for the running of the site, or so they say :eek:
