Skinning Windows - Part 2

Here's the link to my full screenshot.


For the skinning itself, I had to replace uxtheme.dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32. I downloaded a "hacked" version and used Replacer to copy it in, bypassing Windows's protection of system files. The patched uxtheme.dll allows third-party skins to be used.

Once that file is in, go download a skin from somewhere like deviantART or ThemeXP, unzip it, and copy it into C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes. Now, when you go into your Display Properties, the new skin should be an option under the Appearance tab.


I then went looking for a matching Winamp skin, again from deviantART. This is much easier to install, as when you download it, Winamp should automatically open it and install it. Then, just right-click on your Winamp window, go to Skins, and select your new skin.
