Customizing native WinXP interface

July 30, 2001 3:43:39 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Using a program called Resource Hacker (link below) you can open the Luna Theme File (file/path below) and replace the bitmaps in it. Is there any chance that WinCustomize could endorse this as a way of skinning and host .msstyles skins?

I have downloaded the program, but I am running Windows millenium, do you have any idea how to do what you have said in Win Me ?
thanks

No khaled, it only works for XP.
XP has skins but no integrated way to apply your own skins to it. With Resource Hacker you can apparently extact Windows skins and replace it with your own. But then again maybe not, according to Brad.

Up until a few months ago you could tweak an existing visual style but since then the only way to get additional skins is to use WindowBlinds XP.
