Solved Windows XP Luna Blue Theme

[Dynentan]

I am using Classic Shell as my start menu and I am satisfied with it. But, it only works for my start menu. I would like to use the same Windows XP Luna Blue Theme on my taskbar as well. Is there any way to do this?

Something like this? Luna port to Windows 7

I don't know can you just use to customize your taskbar though.

 

[Dynentan]

Yes, that looks pretty good. Something like this looks good as well.

Glad you liked it.
Enjoy.

I tried installing the windows xp luna theme. It came out looking like the windows classic theme but without colors. Seems pretty complicated to get it to work.

Did you do 1 of these 2 ways of Enabling custom themes for it to work?

I managed to make it work by using UxStyle.

However, after installing a update with windows service pack 1, windows have completely disabled the Luna XP theme. Clicking on it to enable it again does nothing. On top of that, windows has ALSO deleted ALL my system restore points WITHOUT my permission. Grrr

With UxStyle sometimes you need to, switch to the default aero theme and then logoff and logon then,
Click on the Start Button type in Services In the search box and then click on Services



Scroll down until you see unsigned themes select it in click on the Stop text and let it stop after that click on Start text and see if that works. Your screen may blink when you do this.

That solved it, thanks.

Windows had apparently deactivated unsigned themes, but I have corrected it by setting it to start up automatically.

The Luna XP theme is a beautiful theme with the same layout and colors that I know and love from Windows XP.

Just a quick question, is microsoft net framework required for the theme to work?

Because the few times I have disabled it seems to be causing problems. I really don't use microsoft net framework for any purposes.

I have no idea if it's required or not, sorry.
