Title: Help getting started.
Post by: Tom Blow on June 03, 2011, 05:00:36 pm
I just bought Vista Style Builder but unfortunately I'm a total noob with regards to this sort of thing :-[ so I'd really appreciate it if someone could just help me getting started.

First off in the requirements it states that you need "theming enabled and with a so-called patched UxTheme file" but I have Windows 7 64 Bit so does this still apply to me and if so how do I go about doing it?

Lastly are there any guides or tutorials explaining what all the different elements do in Vista Style Builder?

Thanks. Tom

Thanks 3am :) but which installer package do I need to install because while I have Windows 7 64 Bit I also have a "Programs Files" and a "Programs Files (x86)"?

You mean Uxstyle? Install the 64 bit version. It'll show up in your Windows folder as UnsignedThemeSvc.exe.
