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.

    • No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!
    • Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • Does it have couch co-op is the question I have here.
