Take a look at the desktop theme of my XP system, how about it? is it beautiful?

It's really not difficult to do this, and if you have the idea of beautifying XP but don't know how to do it, then looking down, I will teach you the easiest way to make your XP interface beautiful. (also applicable to win2003)

The most important thing to beautify XP is the use of XP themes, which is the premise that we usually come into contact with dialog box styles, button styles, window styles, menus. It is the theme at work, a good theme will make your XP look new ~ ~ this article mainly introduces the use of XP theme files.

There are some things to explain before this, many people are worried about taking up system resources, but they don't have to worry about it at all. Unless you use the traditional classic interface, using WINDOWS themes is the same, and using and not using themes consumes very little resources. It can be said that you won't even notice it. For each XP theme, it is more or less the same. In a word, as long as you use a theme, no matter which theme you use, it is the same.

No more. Let's get down to business.

First of all, introduce the theme file, those who know this part or those who are too lazy to understand it can skip ~ ~ but I suggest you take a look at it. It's good.

Step by step, first, right-click on the desktop, select Properties, and this dialog box appears:

In fact, this dialog box is rarely used, what we need to use is this dialog box:

There are styles, colors and fonts that can be selected here, but there are few options here, and a few options are ugly-- personal opinions.

These theme files are stored in C:WINDOWSResourcesThemes, and when you open it, you will see a luna folder and Windows Classic.theme file, in which Windows Classic.theme is a traditional classic theme of WINDOWS, similar to the style of win2000 and win98, and luna is the blue theme used by XP by default. There will be a shell folder and luna.msstyles file under the luna folder. Among them, the file with the .mskeeper extension is the theme file, which can be opened by double-click, and what is in the shell folder is some other files needed by the .mskeeper file, which we don't need to know.

Therefore, we can change different themes as long as we download different .mspictures files (and their supporting shell). As long as you are in a good mood and find a new theme every day, you will have a brand new XP interface every day!

The most important thing before you can download theme files all over the world is that you have to crack it a little bit. XP does not allow other third-party theme files by default. (selfish performance) so there is a restriction on a file called UXTheme.dll in the system, which is necessary for other themes, so we need to crack it so that other third-party theme files can be used.

Use the tool: UXTheme Multi-Patcher, only one executable file.

A very small program, only 1.03m in size.

Run the UXTheme Multi-Patcher 5.5 after download, and double-click to run after download:

Click patch, and when the operation is finished, prompt to restart. Restart XP at this time.

Reference:

Note: when running, you cannot put the XP installation disk in the CD-ROM drive. If you install XP from the hard disk, you need to rename the directory where the XP installation files are located, otherwise you cannot patch.

If the WINDOWS file protection warning is normal at run time, click cancel to keep these unrecognized files

OK, reboot is complete, we can use other themes!

After opening it, you can choose your favorite theme to download.

After downloading, the file is usually compressed. After unpacking it, you can find the .msdownload file and double-click to open it:

If OK goes well, we can already see a preview of the new theme!

If the theme you download is in .wba format, you also need to download the WindowBlinds5 software on this site. After installing the software, double-click the .wba file to change the theme.
