Firefox isn't using the correct font specified by the VS I'm using (Glitch VS). I've also applied the uxtheme.dll patch for WinXP SP1. Is there a way I can fix this problem?

By the way, after the uxtheme patch was applied and the system restarted, all I did was move the Glitch folder to WINDOWS/Resources/Themes/ and double click on the visual style file in the Glitch VS. That's the correct method install Visual Styles, right?
I've just had to reformat my entire C drive, so I've forgotten how to do this stuff. =/
For one, you can control the font that Firefox uses in it's settings.
Tools -> Options... -> Content tab.
For installing visualstyle files, all you should have to do is drag the visualstyle's to x:\\Windows\\Resources\\Themes\\
(X being the hard drive letter that windows is installed on.)
Then right click your desktop and click on "Properties" and then click on the "Appearence" tab and in the "Windows and buttons" section, click the side arrow and scroll down to the theme of your choice.
XP can't see the theme since it hasn't got the required .theme extention. It has an .msstyles extension, and I can only apply it if I double click the file. That should do it, right?
Yes, that will work, and Windows doesn't need the .theme file to recognize it except when applying it in the right click desktop -> properties -> Themes tab.
I still can't change the font Firefox uses for its menus. Tools -> Options -> Content only changes the default font used by websites, not the font used by the browser interface.
In C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\ you should make folder with same name as the name of msstyles file and put msstyles file in it . Than you can see it in appearence tab. For fonts : I also use Glitch and have (had) same problem with firefox. Try with large fonts option as font size in appearence tab.
