  • That’s a wonderful article mate. It’ll help lots of ppl and thanks for mentioning my articles as well. :)

  • Everytime I go to use the theme it doesn’t work. I install it in the themes folder in windows>resources. then i go to apply it in tuneup utilities and it says to amke sure that the file is a valid visual style for your OS (vista)

  • Scott:
    I believe there is an article in life rocks on how to patch vista to use a third party theme, if not, Google “allow themes vista” and you’ll find what you need.

  • everything worked except for the logon screen. i get the background but not the Windows 7 Ultimate at the bottom …. mine still says Windows Vista
