Hi everyone, today I'm going to show you how to create your own customized theme for XP. So the first—this is only for Windows XP. So the first thing we’re going to do is go to our desktop and right click and push “Properties” and then we’re going to click it says “Theme” go to “Save As” and then please save your them somewhere and whatever name you want to call it. I want you to save it, push “Apply” and “OK".
Then the second thing we’re going to do is go to “All Programs” and then go into “Accessories” “System Tools” and then “System Restore”. Under system restore we’re going to create a system restore point unless for some reason something goes wrong during this experiment. So just check the create restore point box and then go to “Next” type in the name description and then push “Create”. It won’t take long to create it.
Then you can go ahead and open up a new web browser and search Google for uxtheme patcher and then go to the second download link there. And then just push download button and download the zip file for the United States and then what you can do is—you can go to the setup steps and then restart your computer.
Once you have restarted your computer go to deviantart.com the link will be in the description then go to the customization. On the very left you should see a list of things. You’re going to go to customization tab and then its going to open up this and then you're going to click skins and themes. Then you’re going to go to “Windows Utilities”. Then click on visual styles. It should bring up a window like this and then download—I recommend Aushun II, but you can download whichever you want.
So once you’ve downloaded it, it’s going to download a zip file and then just go to your C drive. Extract the zip file to your C drive—Windows folder and then find a folder called “Resources”. Once in resource folder click on the themes and then you’re going to extract that folder into this folder. Now, it should say Aushun II. You’re going to double click on that and here is where the fun part comes in. You're going to click on the fonts folder and then these five fonts are you’re going to copy them and then paste them into the following folder.
Go once again, go to your C drive then Windows and then you’re going to paste those fonts into your C drive then Windows and then your fonts folder and you’re just going to right click and paste them here. Then you’re just going to click on visual style and then you’re going to click on Aushun II. Once you’ve clicked on Aushun II it should bring up your themes, your display properties and then you’re going to push “Apply” then “OK" and it’s going to install the theme. Now you have a totally new different theme.
And then the last thing we’re going to do is we’re going to click on the walls and then we’re going to right click on that wall and then push that as desktop background. And now I have an extremely cool new theme for Windows XP. You can go to this website and find millions just hundreds of cool themes and then just follow these same exact steps. Thank you for watching.
