"Real" Windows XP Themes
Tuesday, August 28, 2001 by David Hill | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Although Microsoft has said that they won't document the format of Windows XP's theme files, that should'nt be too difficult. The .theme itself is just an ini file. For Themes with custom graphics, it points to an msstyles file specific to that theme. Luna uses:
C:\WINNT\Resources\Themes\Luna\luna.msstyles on my system
This file is just a resource file. You can view it in VC++ if you open it as resources. It contains a bunch of bitmaps, as well as quite a bit of other text stuff (XML?).
Happy Hacking!

l0c, your argument falls apart because the person making the post isn't asking to hack it himself, he wants other people to do it for him so that he can add additional skins to XP.

Sorry, gentlemen. The fact that ess-vid just happens to have a strong different opinion doesn't mean you have to be rude to him.

Man, someone really should consider hacking this thread out. I mean, I see the points on both sides, but it's getting really hostile. Why don't we just let this one lie or get rid of it altogether.
