Themes Issue
OK ppl, I've recently taken the plunge to XP and got it working perfectly. The only problem I'm having is changing themes. I download them and unzipp'em into the \resource\themes DIR and etc. Many of the dowloads have install instructions attached which usually say that you must D-Click on the the filename.

When I do this, the display properties window pops up and I can't do anything further. The Themes tab has new themes to browse for and neither does the Appearance tab. The Appearance Tab still shows the defaults ie, Blue Default, Olive and Silver.
What am I doing wrong?

I think you have to get Style XP for those to work (www.tgtsoft.com)
yea that is what you need
otherwise the shellstyle.dll rejects the .msstyles file because it is not digitally signed
i am using the watercolor theme from whistler beta now and it is sick. i am also developing my own theme for winxp that is native and doesn't requre styles xp to operate.
