0 _I am Reptar Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Just use the 32bit one if you have 32 bit holy. This is for 64bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 zey Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Sweet the dll works, but I couldn't get the bat installer to work nor replacer. So I had to replace the file myself in safe mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 n3urotic Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 This BAT file deletes the wrong DLLCACHE location AND deletes your Windows sound effects why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Si Veteran Posted February 20, 2006 Author Veteran Share Posted February 20, 2006 ^ Sorry if it deletes the wrong place. It works for me on a fresh install, I assumed it would be the same for other machines. About the sounds - I can't stand them so my batch file deletes them for me when I install, in order to save some clicks. Notice how the lines are REM'd out so they won't do anything to your machine ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Si Veteran Posted February 24, 2006 Author Veteran Share Posted February 24, 2006 The **** dont work! :angry: I can assure you it does. The only installation steps I do are to extract the dll and batch file somewhere (keeping them in the same folder) and run the batch file. Click cancel on the dialog which will pop up after a few seconds. Then reboot. That is exactly what I do on a fresh install, maybe your install has something different going on?

0 cyraxeon Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 i tried uxpatcher 5.0, neowin uxpatcher 4.0, and everything else i could find, i didnt want to run stylexp because i like to keep unneccesary software to a minimum (and its interface is just plain ugly). after nothing worked i installed stylexp, copied the uxtheme.dll from the system32 and syswow64 folders, uninstalled it and replaced the files with the ones i had copied. Seems to be working for now. heres my version of x64 feel free to try the files i have and let me know if it works: x64uxTheme.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 fiziks Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) I gather that this installer doesn't quite work.. to install uxtheme (modified, for x64): 1. reboot in safe mode 2. rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\uxtheme.dll to C:\WINDOWS\system32\uxtheme.old 3. copy modified uxtheme.dll (just extract the dll from this archive, ditch the installer) to system32 (there's also a uxtheme.dll in C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\, I don't think it's a good idea to touch this one) 4. restart normally and viola, navigate to deviantart.com visual styles and hack that shell (one should know already but, to add visual styles; one must copy a .msstyles/.theme file to C:\WINDOWS\resources\themes\ and double click the .msstyle or .theme to activate it after files are placed in ...\themes\ ..don't forget to install the required fonts and such also) theres also a utility to disable file protection (not sure if its required... but i turned it off anyway) I left the file protection utility untouched, in safe mode it appears windows won't complain Edited March 9, 2007 by fiziks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
