UXTheme Multi-Patcher (Neowin Edition) 4.0


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I just downloaded this and *tried* to install it, however it says that I have NT files in my c:/windows/ folder and tells me to remove my NT disc.

However I know that I am running Windows XP SP2.

What should I do?

thanks,

rename C:\windows\i386 to something else and try again.

I don't think these numbers are quite accurate to be honest....

Anyway, whats the point of this thread? Theres one already, Windows X are you just trying to raise more interest for your patch? Because I think you are, because if you werent youd probably have edited the original sticky, rather than create a new thread.

thx for the update, but i cannot seem to get this thing to work at all. I did exactly as the instructions said but when i try to apply a theme it wont let me. Can someone please help me with this as it is really getting on my nerves.

I ran the patcher, i clicked patch, i waited for the windows protection thing to pop up, i hit cancel, then it asked me if i wanted to allow the unrecognized file types or something and i said yes, then that got rid of the windows protection thingy and then i clicked ok then it asked me to restart and i did.. so what am i doing wrong??? :( plz help.

you've prob had loads of problems with this, but i just wanna see if mine can be fixed. Whenever I install this patch, it works well, but when I reboot the computer, then try to change the visual style, it just goes to Windows Classic Theme, in the colour of the theme i'm trying to apply.

Pls help, otherwise, i'll try the manual patch

for everyone whose patch failed:

do it manually!

how to do it:

1. get the hacked uxtheme.dll: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=315315 note: that is for sp2 2180.

2. extract the file to your desktop.

3. get replacer: http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/

4. extract replacer to a folder.

5. run replacer.cmd. you should have a black command window. drag in the original uxtheme.dll from c:\windows\system32 and press enter.

6. drag in the modified uxtheme.dll on your desktop into the command window. press enter.

7. confirm the replacement. wait until it finishes. DO NOT REBOOT UNTIL YOU ARE PROMPTED.

8. reboot.

you need to download visual styles. once you have done that, put them in c:\windows\resources\themes in a folder with the same name as the msstyles file.

example:

you have xyz.msstyles. in c:\windows\resources\themes, create a folder called xyz and put xyz.msstyles in that folder. in folder "xyz", create a folder called "shell" and put the associated shellstyle.dll in there.

to run msstyles:

1. double-click the msstyles file, or

2. go to display properties > APPEARANCE TAB (not theme tab) > windows and buttons. select the vs. if you've done everything correctly, it should appear here.

i patch my xp spanish edition with this patch and no problems at all...

but well windows x if you want someone to help you with a traslated version i can help.... just let me know

Hmm, not working for me XP SP2 build 2600.

Do you have the updated cracked uxtheme.dll for this version of windows so I can change it manually? Dreamz posted the 2180, but Im not confident that this will work without someone saying so.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
