ok i want to setup a custm skin. But i keep hearing people that it slows down the computer a lot and it freezes... is that really true? Is installing custom skins dangerous for a guy who uses his system for big scene rendering and animation rendering as such? like will it slow down the rendering time or freeze the pc in middle of rendering or osmething? this is my system if anyone is curious http://www.samsung.com/uk/products/m...Specifications mine has nvidia and 2gb of ram and its a dual core.
It wont slow it down if you use StyleXP and set it to use no recources, or use the Uxtheme.dll patch. If you use WindowBlinds, then it will slow it down because WindowBlinds is a huge recource hog. And there is nothing "unsafe" or "bad" that can happen by using custom themes.
so for sure xpstyle wont do bad things? do u use xpstyle? whats the difference between windowsblind and style xp? can i just download any skin i like and use style xp to install it? oh and how do i do the thing for no resource thing for stylexp?

if i go with that method, is it easy to return to the default xp? oh and does that method use basically no rams at all?
use the mod that lets you use .msstyles it uses no ram at all way better than everything it rulz lol ^^^ im funny Merged Post:
No it doesn't use up any more resources than the normal Windows XP Style skins because the normal Window XP Style skins are not running at the same time as the custom skins, whereas with WindowBlinds the new skins are just running over the original Windows skins and are not disabled. BTW, it is very simple to get it back to the normal Windows skin... you just select it from the list where you select what skin you want.
oh and abou this.. http://www.gamerenders.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=112891 ok im using the guide pinned on this forum. I downloaded the modifieed uxtheme.dll, but when i try to extract it, it says its corrupt...where can i download the modified uxtheme.dll?
