Themes support is in da house

[betaluva]

@Pisarz, i just tried to use your compiled Latus theme on a uxtheme "patched" install of windows xp professional(sp2) and windows could not install the theme?
it just gives a error message.

I'm aware of that bug, but since it works on ReactOS, I don't think it's my priority.

Well, it would be interesting to find the bug anyway.

@ Pisarz, ok , so how do i get it to load/install in ReactOS since double clicking on it doesnt "install" it on ReactOS like it does in Windows XP.

i noticed i had more success if copy lastus.mmstyles to c:\reactos\resources, then create a directory in c:\reactos\resources called latus ( orwhatever name of the theme that i want to use) and then copy latus.msstyle into that directory as well.?

- make directory C:\ReactOS\resources\themes\lautus
- copy the lautus.msstyle to this directory
- start service manager and enable theme service
- apply theme via right clicking on Desktop->properties and choose theme at the appereance tab

You need to restart ReactOS after Theme service is enabled, iirc.

ok, thanks , and i meant C:\ReactOS\resources\themes,not C:\ReactOS\resources\

* i thought it might be good to put this info in the form of a tutorial: http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic. ... 513#p86513

@hillmenta,
And it's why I've compiled my own visual style from sources.
