I dont know why, but when i set a style for Style XP it goes away when i restart. For example, if i choose a default (panther) it goes to panther, but when i restart it goes back to this skin that i dont even know what is.
I can set any style, but it just goes back.
Any suggestions?
you are trying to change your theme ?
you should try using "Neowin UXTheme Multi-Patcher v4.0" with that you can change your theme without any software.
you can download "Neowin UXTheme Multi-Patcher v4.0" from Here
On the Style XP options, make sure that 'Reapply theme at startup' is checked. :)
What version of Style XP are you using
3.02 was stable
But versions
3.03 & 3.04 i had the the same problems
that worked for while.Quote:
'Reapply theme at startup' is checked.
went back to 3.02
now i'm trying
3.06 seems to be stable
just login won't alternate.
That option should not have to be set in order for the windows theming service to function as it should.Quote:

Reapply Theme at Startup
This option, when checked, will apply the current theme again when the computer boots up. This is necessary on some computer systems because the theme is not applied by default, or is applied improperly at startup. If your theme or icons are not correct, you may want to check this option.
Which is why you want to check the current .theme file in use in C:\WINDOWS .Quote:
