I have been working for a few days to get Custom themes to work. Different sites (best one - www.howtogeek.com) have explained in detail how to retain the .dll patch files, where to put them after the are patched, etc, etc. I have followed every direction I have found on this, downloaded custom themes and put them in their correct form, areas, etc, and it still has not worked in my color schemes in the control panel area. I need someone that has a lot of knowledge in this area that can help me in detail and depth. I want to be able to use other themes other than the 'blah' Home Basic ones. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
