DeskHack for Windows Vista - Version 1.0
This run-time hack fixes the hardcoded strings of Vista's Desktop Settings Control Panel (desk.cpl) for all Visual Styles (but not Aero.msstyles *g*). So you can rename your Styles by hacking the name. If a .msstyles is not properly hacked, the file's basename is used instead of the style description. Install RMB "DeskHack_Install.cmd" "Run as Administrator". Changes in 1.1: Whenever the resources (like .msstlyes.mui) where broken, the name would not have been shown, now in 1.1 it simply takes the filename then. Download 
VistaDeskHack_1.1.zip ( 12.03K )

Reason for edit: I was free enough to pin this topic, for easy finding.

QUOTE (Thunderbrain @ Jun 18 2007, 09:16 AM) By the way: Spaces work, but the filenames should have been consistent (to satisfy the Theme loader):I've tried with Sonicexess Maxclear, but it didn't work till i eliminate the spaces in the name.. %WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Aero MaxClear\ %WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Aero MaxClear\Aero MaxClear.msstyles %WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Aero MaxClear\en-US\Aero MaxClear.msstyles.mui In the current release (3.1) the .mui has the wrong filename - this breaks Windows’ resource loading. -------------------- Don't ask me, I don't know what I'm talking about.
