Basically, you have to hack a file called uxtheme.dll. Search google for that file and you will come across loads of instructions for how to change it.

Also, is the file a .msstyles or a .theme file?

i asked the boards that i got it at and they said the same thing, but i got style xp and it works great now! i cant belive how much i love this style! w00t.
