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.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
