			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Step 1:</strong> Download <a href="http://guimods.com/forum/windows_vista_customization/91-windows_vista_uxtheme_patcher-new-post.html">Windows Vista UxTheme patch</a>.</p>
<p>How to install</p>
<p>1. Login as a user with Administrative privileges -or- have Administrative credentials ready (check under the keyboard for a slip of paper).<br />
2. Navigate to %systemroot%\System32<br />
3. Right-click uxtheme.dll and click properties.<br />
4. Take ownership of the file and close dialogs.<br />
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll<br />
6. Right-click uxtheme.dll and click properties.<br />
7. Give yourself (or group) Full Control permissions and close dialogs.<br />
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll.<br />
9. Rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.old.<br />
10. Rename themeui.dll to themeui.old.<br />
11. Rename shsvcs.dll to shsvcs.old.<br />
12. Copy patched files into %systemroot%\System32<br />
13. Reboot (yes, this is really required)</p>
<p><strong>Step 1b:</strong> If you find the above too intimidating, download <a href="http://guimods.com/forum/windows_vista_customization/110-make_maximized_windows_and_taskbar_transparent.html">VistaGlazz</a> and just run it, it automates the whole patching process so you don&#8217;t have to worry about it! It is basically like Neowin uxtheme patcher we used to have for Windows XP.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong> Download a <a href="http://www.guimods.com/category/windows-vista-themes/vista-visual-styles/" title="Windows Vista Visual Styles">Windows Vista Visual Style</a> from our <a href="http://www.guimods.com/category/windows-vista-themes/" title="Download Free Windows Vista Themes">free Windows Vista Themes</a> gallery, and copy the theme to Windows/Resources/Themes folder.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong> Right click on desktop and click on Personalize. From the page that pops up, click on Theme and choose your newly installed theme!</p>
