way to install the themes:
1. Download and install Uxtheme patcher. During install a message will be displayed that important Windows file are being replaced and will ask you to insert the windows CD to fix it. Just ignore and click “continue”
2. Download the theme pack and copy the folder containing .msstyles and shellstyle.dll (this is inside another folder) to C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\
3. After this is done, right-click on desktop and click Properties. Now click on the Appearance tab. Under Windows and Buttons you will find the list of all the themes you installed. Select one from the list and click Apply.
Sometimes, the downloaded pack contains additional utilites like Styler and Rocketdock etc to bring other changes to Windows. It’s up to you whether you want to install the additional stuff. You can visit the original page of the theme author for more instruction on how to use those.
Note: This list contains only shell styles that can be applied directly by patching Uxtheme or throughStyleXP. No Window Blinds skins here.
