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.

Just let it uninstall and reinstall again.

    • 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.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
