Hi, i'm new to this modding of the OS and what not and i've got some things working, basically i got all the files replaced that need to be replaced in system 32. I have themes that come as themes working great, but whenever i get some theme that only comes with a .msstyles and a shell folder that has a normal colors folder with shellstyle.dll in it. I've tried several things. I've simply copied the stuff to a folder in the themes menu and double clicked the .msstyles but it didn't show up under the name of the Windows Aero or Windows Basic. I've done what i did before but gone through and changed the ownerships and the permissions and tried again and still nothing. I've also tried adding stuff to the folder so that it basically looks like the original Aero folder in the themes folder, by adding the en-US, the .mui files. All that. still nothing. So i'm at a loss because there seem to be lots of people that are getting this to work and i'm getting frustrated. Any help could be appreciated. Below are two of the themes i'm trying to get to work but failing at it. Let me know if anything can be done, thank you!
