Level: Recommended For Novice Users
Description:
This tweak can control access to the desktop theme settings like windows styles, buttons, schemes and fonts. By using this setting you can apply the desired desktop theme to be applied on your system. If the complete path to the ".msstyles" file is given with the tweak setting, windows will call the said theme, else in case the data value is left blank it will call classic as the default theme. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a reg_sz (string value) value setvisualstyle, if this value does not exist. Now, right-click and modify the value to the full path of the required .msstyles file name, to specify the default style. Log off or restart your system for the change to take effect. When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
