Portable Vista Theme

Someone should make a portableapp that changes the computer's theme while the drive is in the computer (similar to U3's Wallpaper Swapper)

Theme?

What do you mean by theme? I've heard the wallpaper change idea before. What else do you have in mind?

Um...

D00d, themes involve far more than just wallpaper - icons, fonts, window appearance, cursors, etc. - thus, to make a theme changer would be far more daunting a task for a portable than just a wallpaper changer.

That said, I'd certainly be interested if someone DID come up with such a thing.

What a nightmare. That would

What a nightmare. That would involve somehow running a patched uxtheme.dll in memory, then applying the theme temporarily.

Count me out.

Not necessarily

If you have a legitimate signed theme, you could just add it then change it automatically.
Of course, if you have a *cough*illegal*cough* theme, then you'd need to do that.
