Default Help fine me themes!
The only themes that Server 2003 gives me are Windows Classic (ugly) and Windows XP (uglier). The problem is, the only types of themes I can use are .theme files due to the fact that I don't want to mod my uxtheme.dll file, which usually results in my theme stuck in classic. So I need themes. I do NOT want to use any apps such as StyleXP or Windowbilnds. Can you guys help me out?

Why not patch the UxTheme.dll? (Not trying to stir up trouble, just wondering. )

It really carries no risk, and allows you to use most any theme with little extra memory usage. (I just got done theming my Server 2003 install, as a matter of fact. )

@Jester, it's a no-go on Server 2003, I've already tried it. )

Do you restart the computer after you patch it?

You absolutely have to restart it before you do anything else after using the patch.
