Recently,i downloaded a couple of installer themes.....I found several files like"Theme,Explorer.exe,OobeFldr.dll,ExplorerFrame.dll,Shell32.dll".... i don't know how to begin installation or where to paste these files....I have already patched the system with universal theme patcher.....now how do i advance?
Themes are in,.....C:/windows/resources/themes
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
Paste your themes there.
Have you restarted after patching the files?
Yes .....but simply pasting the files in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes didn't work.....it does work for a basic theme package ..but what about "Explorer.exe,OobeFldr.dll,ExplorerFrame.dll,Shell32.dll".....where do i paste these files?
AFAIK whatever files are needed to patch, are patched by the uxthemepatcher.
Which themes you are trying to use? Could you share the links here?
Have you Right ClickPersonalize
Changing explorer.exe will change the start button. Explorerframe will change the back\forward buttons. The others will also change some of the system elements. .
There are several ways to do it. One of those is by using System File Replacer
Another widely used tool is Windows 7 Theme Installer
WarningI would suggest you to have a Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup before you mess with the system files .
