Any word from anyone on whether StyleXP from TGTSoft has an update that works with SP2 Final? I just downloaded their update for 2.11 that claims to work with SP2, but it doesn't work with the final. All I get is a pop-up box that says what versions of SP2 it works with vs. what version I'm using.

I wrote to them and haven't heard back from them yet. Does anyone have any information about this?

Note: Do NOT tell me to just patch uxtheme.dll for free. That is NOT what this thread is about! If you're just going to rag on StyleXP or troll this thread, DON'T REPLY AT ALL!

Thank you. :)

Yeah it should work...I have 2.11 as well and it even sayz on the website :

"Please download only what you need (2.0 supports Win XP SP2)"

I agree that it should work, but it doesn't hence this thread.

As I said in my original post, I downloaded and installed the latest 2.11 update from their website which didn't work.

SP2 Visual Style Fix

http://vortex2050.dyndns.org:8080/reposito...ndows%20XP/SP2/

Replace your current uxtheme.dll with:

6.0.2900.2180_EN.rar 07-Aug-2004 09:32 97K

Use: http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/ to patch/replace it.

You can now use all your favorite Visual Styles/Theme.

StyleXP still appears to be incompatible with this Final build of XP despite this fix. I expect a new version soon....

They'll have a new release for it shortly after the public release, or just before. Patience.

This is just before. I have plenty of patience, but I was looking for feedback from other people either having the same problem or possibly hearing back from TGT with a fix/patch.

Did you not read my original post, specifically the part in big bold letters? The part that says do NOT tell me to just patch uxtheme.dll? Did you miss that part?

Why even waste money on that garbage software. You would think if you pay for it they would give you professional looking themes. UXTHEME 4EVER!

For the sake of Pete, people!! Doesn't anyone READ POSTS anymore?

It states clearly in BIG BOLD LETTERS in my first post: If you're just going to rag on StyleXP or troll this thread, DON'T REPLY AT ALL!

So far the ONLY person who's been any help at all is pauluk83 and that's because he at least confirmed the problem!

GYAH!

Sorry WishX... but I do have some news in regards to THIS topic.

A friend of mine e-mailed TGT a couple days ago in regards installation on SP2. TGT software told him that there will be no update until SP2 is released in its final form (hence when Microsoft releases it to the public). Once it has been released (probably Monday), then TGT will release a new version to work with SP2 (by the end of next week or after).

Hope this helps.

Yes, see, that does help! You've taken the time to read my post and answer my question clearly and concisely. You even referenced it with what I assume to be factual information from TGTSoft. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for your time and for actually reading my post in it's entirety.

You registered just to post that :unsure: WELCOME TO NEOWIN :D hope you will be nicer in the future

u deserve a slap round the face have you used Style XP 2.11 it has alot of other fuctions than just the visual styles. Do a little research before posting aloada rubbish about uxtheme having the same functionality as StyleXP, when the first post specifically says not to post about telling him to use uxtheme.dll. OK?

Thanks!

    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By AltecXP · Posted

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mockingbird · Posted

      For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.
