Windows XP Theme Programs

[Richardc269]

I know that this is a Windows 7 forum, and I wasn't really able to find a XP forum anything like this one on Google.

But I was wondering if there was a Theme changer for Windows XP 64-Bit like "StyleXP" but doesn't make me pay for it? The Windows theme changer kinda stinks in XP and doesn't really have them all in a list like StyleXP does. I had StyleXP for Windows XP 32 a few years ago with my last computer system, and I got really used to changing my Windows Themes with StyleXP, and I'm looking for something similar to it, but for 64-Bit instead. Any suggestions is appreciated, thanks.

Yes there is one for windows xp 64bit
you can use universal theme patcher 64bit (note: replaces system files)
or you can use uxstyle 64bit (doesn't replace system files)
And to use custom themes copy the theme to C:/windows/resources/themes
And then go to desktop proerties and set the theme to your custom theme

Thanks. I'll try out UXstyle sometime in the near future.

Okay, I just tried installing UXStyle, and the installation is saying it's blocked? Wtf kinda crap is this?

 

[beecher]

It's actually supposed to work
Have you tried disabling your antivirus software?
Do you have any web filtering software?

 

[Richardc269]

I don't have any anti-virus right now. Not really worried about viruses at the moment. I don't have any firewalls installed either.

Maybe you already patched the theme files?
To check if the system files have been messed around with check this link

And maybe you didn't download the right version of uxstyle?
Try double checking your system is a 32bit computer by going to computer and then help>about windows

 

[Richardc269]

It's 64-Bit, not 32-Bit.

Edit: Scanning.

 

[beecher]

Once your done scanning you should then download the 64bit version

I did earlier from their website when you mentioned it the first time.

Edit: Just finished the scan, program still saying it's blocked.

 

[beecher]

Can you give me a screen shot of the error you got

UxStyle install: Windows XP/Windows Server 2003 x64 currently blocked

I get that message trying to install UxStyle. Tried both x86/x64 installer:
UxStyle_Core_Jul13_x86.msi
UxStyle_Core_Jul13_x64.msi
