• StyleSelector for Vista doesn't work
    4 replies, posted
Hi, I wanted to install the NV2 Final theme which you can find [url=http://invaderjohn.deviantart.com/art/NV2-Final-88803189]here[/url]. I saw you needed this StyleSelector program for it, so I downloaded it [url=http://psycob.deviantart.com/art/StyleSelector-for-Vista-2-88151469]here[/url]. My directories now look like this: [img]http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/1523/screenin2.jpg[/img] But instead of popping up with the screen on the screenshot simply nothing happens. I thought it had something to do with compatibility, so I set it to Windows NT 4.0 but then it said I needed Windows Vista 32 bit, so I turned that off again. What could be the problem?
Aren't visual styles meant to go into a specific folder? I know there's the themes folder in XP but I'd assume it was the same in Vista.

You can call to the system to load a theme in any folder. You should see how fast it loads without the control panel. (Instantly.) You have to do it via a program such as PsycoB's StyleSelector or Ave's VistaStyler.
Did you patch utxtheme.dll? Also, the programs seem to have problems with altering the dll, I had to do some weird process to allow me to have full control over the theme file to correctly patch it.
i noticed that the link above is broken. if anyone needs the program, pm me.
