Cody, it says that it's a rar file but when I try to download it, it shows me a page full of text and symbols. How to install it?

So the theme does not work with Windows 7. Is there any tool or software to make this theme work with Windows 7?

You need to patch your XP to use custom styles using this I think:

Then you unzip the theme and put it into your Windows/Resources/Theme folder and double click the style file to use it.
I dont think you can use XP themes on Vista/7 :?

When I tried to download the theme from your link, it didn't worked and I just got a long script. So I did a bit of search and found a working download. I installed it and found that it was buggy. And also Opera Browser uses a special technique to disguise the control box but the buttons came to be really small and didn't fit the style. So I uninstalled it in the same way I installed it. By doing so, my original computer's style got bugged up, if that makes sense. Now I am getting the regular styles even when I have enabled Windows XP styles and also the Start button's text is missing and I am only getting a large button with a small windows icon in the left side...!
