Shane, yeah thats it. It doesn't sit too well with me because one needs a repatched uxtheme.dll for every SP going forward ... right now I'm looking for a command-line util (maybe called settheme.exe) that takes a .theme as a parameter and dynamically flips the theme, just like as if you did it from the desktop appearance tab ... but having no luck stfw so far ... if there was an API for this could write my own settheme but having no luck there either.
