How to use it

-------------------------------------------------------------

To apply the theme you need patched system files:

Please be careful, to avoid damage on your system.

First of all you must patch your system files. use vista glazz from [link]

Dont forget to reboot after you have patched.

To show the right names of the themes in the appaerence settings use VistaDeskHack from[link]

After these two steps, download the Smooth-HAL.zip file and extract it.

Copy the content of the zip file (Smooth-HAL folder and Smooth-HAL.theme) to c\windows\resources\themes

Then you can right click on your desktop and change your design.

In case something does go wrong, a system restore will do the trick, if it does not… Use your Windows Vista installation disk… You must reboot with Windows Vista Installation CD in drive and boot with CD when prompted. You will have to choose repair your PC and it will prompt you to choose method, choose System Restore. Now you will be able to restore with no problems as disk will have necessary files that you may have deleted or changed and is not allowing you to restore without disk.
