Need help in applying custom theme
I've got a tablet PC that doesn't do Aero, so I did the following (with much-needed help from others here):
1) Downloaded and installed the UxStyle service thingy
2) Downloaded bunch of Windows Basic themes from DA
3) Took ownership of aero.msstyles and aero.msstyles.mui in the Themes folder
4) Went through each of the downloaded themes, replacing aero.msstyles in the folder with the one from each theme.
All-in-all, worked quite well.
However, I have one theme that I'm not able to figure out how to apply. It's called Window 7 dark and it comes with files named Windows 7.msstyles -- not the typical aero.msstyles.
I've copied the folders and files into Windows\Resources\Themes but there is no indication of them in the Personalization window in any of the themes areas.
There is no .theme file or I would have used that to "install" the theme.
So, how do I get the personalization tool to "see" this theme so I can select it?
BTW, I did install a theme known as Luna Royal (it has a .theme file) and it DOES show up in Personalization as an installed theme. So, I know that I can install themes.
