Visual Style doesn't apply
Hi Guys, I can't seem to get other visual styles downloaded off the internet to work. When I apply them, they just turn the screen black and then i have to somehow revert back to the default Luna Visual Style.
Hi Guys,

They dont appear in Appearance tab, but they do show up on the Themes Tab.
On the contrary, on my other computer I am able to run those themes perfectly and the appear both in Appearance and Themes Tab.
Any ideas what could be going wrong?

you need either a "hacked" UxTheme.dll file or you need to install StyleXP to do so for you.
StyleXP is available at http://www.tgtsoft.com

I see.. So this mean when we install StyleXP and then uninstall it, it leaves some files on the computer that makest the other visual style work. I remember I installed StyleXP on this computer and didn't do that on the other one.
I think thats the reason. Let me know what files are actually left on computer..
Thanks.

here's what i think happens (at least with the old Beta3), you install StylesXP, it modifies uxtheme.dll which enables you to use unsigned skins, when you uninstall StyleXP its supposed to replace the modified dll with the original. Thats supposed to be what happens, weather or not it does, i don't know.
