What are the risks/disadvantages to having a third-party skins such as this? Can it affect performance/gaming/iTunes/Steam/Windows Updates or anything else? What are the precautions to take before doing this so that it is completely reversible? Please reply somebody! THANKS!
I don't get the whole explorer part of the vid. What does that do exactly when you make a backup, and and a new one? Other than that. I have a theme that I like that I downloaded.
No restart... Just go to task manager, end explorer.exe process and run it again on file>run by typing in explorer.exe Thumbs up if it worked and it saves 1 min from you life!
@VAGELIS199 Boot it in safe mode with internet from the boot menu. When you're in there go to system restore and select one before the install, when it finishes, restart, boot normally. Should be all fixed
@squad2001 Sorry, I can't pm you the download, I built it from scratch, but lost it when I switched exclusively to Ubuntu. Yes you can, just replace the explorer.exe. a batch file for that would look kinda like @echo off taskkill explorer.exe ren C:\Windows\explorer.exe explorer.old copy -b C:\explorer.exe C:\Windows\ start explorer
PCWizKid, you do not need to reboot to change the explorer.
Go in to the taskmanager, click the process tab and end the process explorer[dot]exe and then go back to the applications tab and click new task and write explorer[dot]exe.
I love the Skull theme, (I've had it before seeing this video), and I'm using the modified Start Orb also. A much easier way to change the Start Orb is an application called W7 Start Orb Changer. You can find it on Deviantart, and no reboot is required.
does that skull theme come with a transparency option for the taskbar? cause i can see in 1:55 that the deviantart picture has almost full trasparency in the taskbar... how can that be done? i want that XD
i just dowload stuff. i never read lisence and stuuf or back files up xD i downloaded a windows xp/seven remix thing and it made my xp to look and act like a windows 7 but i got DLL errors. so i uninstalled it and downloaded a windows 7 theme from a page. i think it was davientasrt or somthing xD
Okay so I installed the Skull theme and opened it, it seemed to work fine. I changed the windows start icon and in the instructions it said i had to restart the pc after doing it. I restarted it and now after the "Windows Is Starting up" and login nothing happened.... I could see the cursor but nothing else, i could move it...
I pressed CTRL+ALT+DELETE and checked the processes.. the process "Explorer" was not there. HELP!
What's the difference between this and WindowBlinds? I own a copy of WindowBlinds 6, but haven't installed it on my Windows 7 machine (I bought WindowBlinds 6 when I was using XP).
@DorKaschpor Yes it is possible, you need a program called Windows Style Builder i beleive. You will also need to have a graphics manipulation program (photoshop) and something like resource hacker/restorator
@r0yalhearts restart ur comp and press ALT+F10 and u can restore windows trust me i did it yester day ehrn i messed my windows up not recommended to mess up windows just to make it look cool
WOW this reminds me of the windows XP days, i themed the shit outta my computer back then because XP was so fugly. But with vista and 7, i never saw the need..
heads up to both you and pcwizkid (for future videos)
look at both emerald theme manager (+compiz fusion icon to change from the metacity window manager to compiz) and the gnomenu you can get the same effects with a little more extra.
Gosh, such hassle. I have XP and just use Windowsblinds, Rocketdock/Stardock, Launcy and Wincustomize. Bam. total new style, start up menu, and a Mac dock for my icons. >.>
@PCWizKid oh cool :D You're my inspiration, but I wanna be a programmer, I'm currently learning VB.NET (1 year) and C# for 3 months and HTML for 3 months and PHP for a month :D
@PCWizKid I'm not sure about 7. I'm using Vista so I just installed VistaGlazz and patched my files, rebooted, and put the .theme in my resources/themes folder. But, I'm loving the skin!
dude.i hav installed the theme and the problem is when i double press the theme i changes to any other not skull theme ................please help
