PalorToff Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hi, I didn't find a topic concerning this issue. I want to change the windows theme to classic. Not just for one window or while an application is running but for good. It is probably possible by changing a lot of entries in the registry, but that I would rather use the windows api. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance If you wish to set the default Windows XP Theme to classic via the registry, but NOT to force, set the key below. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "SetVisualStyle"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Resources\\Themes\\Windows Classic.theme" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager] "ThemeActive"="0" Disclaimer: Making any alterations incorrectly to the Registry can cause serious issues with you operating system, and may result in a reinstallation.
