    Let's share Windows Themes here

    If you know about patching uxtheme files, then you ought to know where to get the best third-party themes...one of my favorites is DeviantArt here:

    http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/vistautil/visstyles/

    I'm personally more inclined towards using black or dark themes...and here are a few that I find interesting:

    Fleur-de-lys by ~dynacord
    ThaImpact VS by ~DjabyTown
    Dynamic Black ::: by ~DjabyTown
    Demoniac 7 VS by ~dmone9

    Please share if you have your own favorites...I'm still looking for new themes to try...

    P.S. I hope this can be stickied

    Update: As per hellnoire's request, I have made a tutorial on how to patch uxtheme file and how to use 3rd party unsigned themes and visual styles on Windows here:

    My favorite looking theme is COD Modern Warfare 2 as I'm a gamer and also don't have Windows 7.

    A Guy, I wanted it in the first post so newbies could see the first bit of info on how to actually do it, not down here where people can skim over it. It's why I'm asking Safeguy to do it.

    Well, let me step in here for the UxTheme patching.

    To all who are reading this: the uxtheme.dll no longer needs to be modified. The below program runs in the memory and allows you to use custom themes without touching one file.

    Download is below. Click on the 'play with the bits, blow up your pc in the process' button to download, then extract. Don't worry, your PC won't blow.
