UXTheme Multi-Patcher (Neowin Edition) 4.0


Recommended Posts

Hi. This patch has been working fine for me, with the exception of one fault. I wondered whether it was a common and fixable thing.

After about a week or so of using a custom theme fine, on startup I'll suddenly be faced with the standard Windoze Classic (98 style) theme. I then have to un-patch and re-patch before I can use my themes again. (They're still selected in the display dialog, but they don't work until I follow this process).

I'd appreciate if anyone knew what was causing this, as it's a bit of a hassle..

Does the download work for anyone else?  :pinch:

Nope, the dl link is broken and the links to "vortex" in the guides are useless as well. You are going to have to find out the old fashion way (by searching the net) until those responsible for maintaining these guides update.

I get a CD setup error and it closes the multipatch program. 

Any thoughts?

these are two reasons why i always tell people to patch it manually.

before i use this =/

do i have to uninstall windowblinds?

or do i have to unload the current VS? that wud make sense..

and then i just double click on the executable  uxtheme patcher file right?

and then i can use the .msstyles? ^_^

i believe you can keep windowblinds installed. the patch does vs, windowblinds does windowblinds themes.

n/m uninstalled it and i am just using a registered copy of stylexp.

the multipatcher wud NOT work on my computer.

dunno why.

just a newer build that it doesnt support

do it manually: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=339820

better than the patch (in many cases) and stylexp.

Please help me! I use this multipatcher when I use XP SP1, but when I install SP2, the uxtheme.dll isn't patched, but when I am willing to patch the uxtheme.dll in SP2, it says that the uxtheme.dll is already patched! What can I do to resolve this situation??

Thanx.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
