Free Clearscreen Basic Theme for Vista (Visual Style)


INFO & DOWNLOAD

Clearscreen Basic is the MDI counterpart of the Round and Sharp versions of Clearscreen. The Sharp version will retain the sharp taskbar buttons, while the Round one will retain the round feel.

Clearscreen Basic is to be used in Basic mode only, otherwise you'll be getting some funky, out of place images and there wouldn't be a point for me to submit a Basic version if they shared resources perfectly with Aero, right?

How To Install Custom Visual Style in Vista SP1 - 2

Everyone's been asking how to install visual styles in Windows Vista so I've decided to re-post an article from winmatrix:

Download and replace these three system files (uxtheme.dll, shsvcs.dll and themeui.dll):

Windows Vista SP1:

download.gif Uxtheme Vista SP1 (32-bit) | Mirror
download.gif Uxtheme Vista SP1 (64-bit) | Mirror

Windows Vista SP2:

download.gif Uxtheme Vista SP2 (32-bit) | Mirror
download.gif Uxtheme Vista SP2 (64-bit) | Mirror

Instructions:

1. Login as a user with Administrative privileges -or- have Administrative credentials ready (check under the keyboard for a slip of paper).
2. Navigate to %systemroot%\System32
3. Right-click uxtheme.dll and click properties.
4. Take ownership of the file and close dialogs.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll
6. Right-click uxtheme.dll and click properties.
7. Give yourself (or group) Full Control permissions and close dialogs.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll.
9. Rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.old.
10. Rename themeui.dll to themeui.old.
11. Rename shsvcs.dll to shsvcs.old.

You can use Take Control or these registry files for taking ownership of system files in Vista:

Just add this file to your redistry and right click on the file you want to own and click on "Take Ownership".
Attached File own.zip ( 338bytes)

To remove the feature just run this file.
Attached File own_rem.zip ( 248bytes)

If you don't like above registery files, then follow these steps to do this manually:

At the command prompt, input takeown /f filepath
Now input icacls filepath /grant yourusername:f

Free Skull Theme for Windows 7 (Visual Style)


This pack contains the files needed to change your computers visual style (aero.msstyle and explorer.exe) aswell as the patch's needed for this visual style to work on the Windows 7 RC.

Aswell as the visual style this pack also contains the icons featured in the preview aswell as a few custom ones made by me. Also it contains the blades of grass wallpaper that is featured in the preview.

------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL
------------------------------

Step 1: Go into C:\windows\system32\ and then take ownership of and replace,
themeservice.dll, themeui.dll and uxtheme.dll with the three files in the
windows 7 RC Ux Theme Patch folder supplied in this download. (If you are
running a version of windows 7 different to the RC build google a Ux theme
patch for your specific build and follow the same steps as before but with
the different files)

Step 2: Go into C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero and firstly take ownership
of the current aero visual style file and then rename the file, aero original.
Now that the file has been renamed go into the Skull Visual Style folder
that has been supplied in the download and copy the file named aero into the
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero folder. Make sure this folder now includes
the 2 versions of the aero file, the one you have renamed aero backup and the
one you have just copied into the folder.

Step 3: Now restart you computer and your visual style should now have changed.

Step 4: To change the start orb go back into the folder Skull visual style and
copy the file named explorer. Now go into C:\windows\ and find the file named
explorer that already exists and take ownership of it. Now rename that file to
explorer backup and copy the explorer file from the skull visual style folder
into this location.

Step 5: Open your start menu and hold down shift, ctrl and rigth click the menu,
a box shoudl appear with 2 options, exit explorer and properties, click on exit
explorer. You will notice that all windows will close and you taskbar disappears.
Now press ctrl, shift, escape and this will open up the task manager. Click on the
applications button at teh top of the menu and then at the bottom of the
applications menu click on new task. In the box that appears type in explorer.
This will re open windows explorer and your taskbar will reappear with the new
start button.

Now you are finished and the transformation is now complete. I hope you enjoy this
visual style and thank you for your download and support.

If you want to return to the defualt aero visual style follow all of the above steps
but replacing the current aero and explorer files with the ones you previously renamed
explorer backup and aero backup.
