micro Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Windows installed 12 new updates on my computer, I was using the medium size taskbar theme and i patched my dll files with vistaglazz, i reboot to see the windows classic theme. I tried to go into the themes and re select the medium taskbar theme and it says Error cant apply theme. I checked with vistaglazz and it says my files are still patched but at this moment no custom themes work. vista business 32bit. anyone else getting this?

gigapixels Veteran Posted July 10, 2007 Veteran Share Posted July 10, 2007 I'm guessing VistaGlazz needs to be updated, or something along those lines. Or perhaps it just sees the backups of the old files and thinks your files are already patched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexcyn Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I noticed this too ... when I rebooted I was using Classic and not Aero. But then again ... I was trying to find a way to get back to the default Aero so this fixed it for me. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELTETHISACCOUNT Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 +1, guess we have to stick with the default Vista theme for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unL33T Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Apparently some people noticed this before me. Repatching does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-scratch Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 yep using 32 business & it failed to patch if i could pin point which update caused it i know it is 1 of 2 that did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyphrax Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Unfortunatly Im a bit short on time at the moment, but i'll try to reproduce the problem myself at the end of this week. If anyone knows which update is causing the problem, please let me know. We might be able to release a small update, before releasing VistaGlazz 2.0.

Carlo Veltri Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 To return to the normalcy: 1) uninstall kb933928 and restart; 2) apply AERO theme and restart; 3) apply your own theme and enjoy! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toology Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Microsoft strikes again! I'm glad I went back to the non-hassle XP. Troll-la-la-la-la. XP is no different if you've ever applied the uxtheme.dll patch or XPize and have run updates that overwrite your patched files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafael Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 The problem is not with the hotfix, it is with lazy theme authors. See the fix: http://anti-tgtsoft.com/?p=13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted July 12, 2007 Veteran Share Posted July 12, 2007 To return to the normalcy:1) uninstall kb933928 and restart; 2) apply AERO theme and restart; 3) apply your own theme and enjoy! :D Uninstalling updates MS deems important just to enjoy theme files that aren't properly built in the first place is pretty foolish.
