[Windows X]

This program will patch your uxtheme.dll file so you can use any 3rd party visual style on Windows XP/SP1/SP2 and Windows Server 2003/SP1. File protection dialogs should be cancelled and a reboot is required after using this patch.

Patched Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 systems with this program can be unpatched by running this program again.


What's new in version 4.0

-Added 64-bit support (not 100% work)
-Added few delay (about 2.5 seconds) in some tasks to make it done before doing next task (which I assume it solve some issues)
-Added Windows Server 2003 SP1 support
-Added stopping Themes service during patching for more success chance

Indeed. Just stick to manually patching your file as it has a better outcome rate, http://www.neowin.ne...howtopic=182900

The amount of problems I've heard people having with your patch is ridicolous and why go and take Rafael's patched files and make an installer that doesn't work?

Windows X, come back onto IRC btw, so lovely to see you in "that" channel

didymus , I guess you've caught by soem spyware or adware that add ie toolbar or something.
sabretoooth, check the path that program reported. It has setup files which could make patch fails. To fix it, rename that folder and run patch again.
