WinXP theme

E

eff

I am probably at fault for this problem but I can't figure out what
happened.

A few months ago I installed "StyleXP" from TGTSoft and have been
using it since. (The toothpaste theme)

Now that I decided to go back to the Windows XP theme, I can't. The
Windows XP theme title is on the themes list under properties>themes
but the only thing that changes when I choose it is the wallpaper. I
can't get any of the XP colors, it stays on the StylesXP theme that I
was using and does not change.

Also, the XP Silver theme is gone also. I have tried uninstalling
StylesXP and then choose theme XP but then it only gives me the old
style, or as they say, the classic theme and that one only.

Can someone advise me on how to get back both the WinXP and the XP
Silver themes? I am running WinXP HE SP2.

Thank you.

I found out what I was missing.

I was missing the "luna.msstyle" (visual style file)

I found it at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm (line 187)

I moved that one file into my luna>shell folder and I got the XP theme
back including the silver, olive green and the default blue.
