hey, how do you install those phat toolbars that the guy has on his second theme "the metal one" how do i install those toolbars where do i put the theme.ini file?

Here's a guide on what is needed to install those phat toolbars. :)

I recommend the UXtheme patch, be sure to follow the instructions. Once you've done this, extract any themes or visual styles to windows>resources>themes. You can now select downloaded themes from the display properties dialogue.

@Metrostars. I really don't understand why you're still using Windows Blinds. Please can any windows blinds users explain to me what, in their opinion, is the advantage of running this application. Sure if you're using 98 or 2000, then i could understand, but with XP? I just don't see the point.

I'm not taking the piss; just interested.

That's a good answer. Now are you sure you won't just try the uxtheme patch? Go on, you know you want to. :lol:

Cheers mate. :D

@Jordank87 & Burre

The tool bar is called YZ dock and is available here

If you had read the text file included with the theme you would have found this out yourself. It then took me 10 seconds with google for me to find you that link :P

The files you have been trying to install are, in fact, theme files. When you install YZ dock, there'll probably be a text file telling you how to install the themes.

:)

@Burre. No mate, it's not possible to have a user pic. It would look crap anyway :D (IMO)

:)

Thx for info, but:

no, its not.
the creator of this had some problems with apple, so the distributin of Y's dock has stopped. the versions available is full of bugs.

your link was to Y's toolbar, but thanks anyway, works great ;)

I tried object dock, but that thing is just shit to customize!! didn't work to "drag and drop", remove icons one doesn't like, etc.

BTW, is it not possible to make the Y's toolbar buttons in IE bigger?
they're so small!!!! :blink:

Nice, Dapadipz,

I've been using this theme since I found this thread, and searched the web a little.

still have to adjust some colors and shit, couldn't find all I wanted in the same colour, so I had to change some icons. but this is not complete yet.http://server3.uploadit.org/files/14...rojecedft1.jpg

Maybe i'm just getting old, but i really don't like these bold chunky themes. Dapadiz' i quite like, but your theme Burre, to me, looks horrible. That's just my opinion though. I'm still happily using Opus metal by b0se.

Exactly what sort of "XP theme" files are we speaking of here?

The windows theme file for XP itself, should go into: C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes .

If we are speaking of an .msstyles file then I suggest placing it along with any .dll shell files you may have received into a seperate folder of the same name as your your .msstyles file. Place this new folder into the same WINDOWS directory. If you have done this correctly, you should see it appear on your "appearance" tab in "display properties".

If the theme is truely complete, then a wallpaper should have also been supplied. That can placed within the theme folder you just created as well. Any fonts supplied should go into C:\WINDOWS\Resources\fonts .

The cursors must be handled seperately. Extract them all into C:\WINDOWS\cursors . Make certain that they are not within their own folder before you extract/unzip. You can apply them afterwards by going into control panel>printers and other hardware>mouse>pointers . Select them from the drop down bar.

After all this is done you can then "save your current theme" in "display properties" afterwhich the cursor set will automatically be applied when you select this theme.

LTJbukem,
Actually, I sent a screenshot to a friend, he said the same. but when he visited, he thought it looked awesome. I used the opus metal, clean style first, but since I use a 100" screen in my home cinema, this looks way better than opus metal. the structure didn't come to rights when it was stretched to 200 cm wide.+ it doesn't look "too much" in my case.it's actually very spacy. Also this matches the rest of the room/furniture, except I will change some colors to make all colours like the one in the start menu.

Izagaya,

Thanks a lot for that info, I'll probably need to check back to it, among others. :D

maybe I should add a screenshot, when I am satisfied, if that is of interest?
I will take picture anyway, for HT forums....
