Installing theme ???

[MysticHalo]

Hi
As i m not upgrading to vista, i thought abt trying the Aero theme on my WinXP
The problem is, how do i deploy(or install the theme). I have got a zip package that contains -
1) A Visual style File
2) Shell Files(windows Style shell resource dll)
3) fonts

So , how do i use this theme. When i double click the visual style file, the WinXP appearance tab opens, but it doenst have any mention of the new theme that i want to use.
I hope i dont need to install some FANCY program like Windows Blinds or something of that sort

You need the uxtheme patcher. You can get it from http://www.softpedia.com/progDownloa...load-2369.html

Use the patcher, then double-click the msstyles file.
