Easy install of windowsXP themes using uxtheme.dll and reloader.cmd.

Files attached are:

uxtheme.zip for windowsXP (sp2 ONLY!)

replacer.zip (the reloader program)

Offsite Files are:

http://www.deviantart.com/download/9240396/

We'll need to patch windows first.

Download both attachments and unpack them into a temp folder.

Launch the replacer.cmd program.

It will ask for the ORIGINAL file to replaced. The file we'll be replacing is c:\windows\system32\uxtheme.dll. Simply drag the file to the window and hit enter.

Then drag the downloaded uxtheme.dll into the box.

Your windows xp sp2 is now patched.

We used a copy of deviantArt's CodenameOpus theme.

Open the zip file and unpack the folders CodeOpusC or CodeOpus to the C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\ folder.

Now you have a new theme in the Appearance tab in the Display Properties.
