UXTheme Multi-Patcher (Neowin Edition) 4.0


Recommended Posts

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.

I lost my Windows XP theme! How do I get it back?

well, if you didn't delete it yourself, it should still be there. patching doesn't remove any files.

check c:\windows\resources\themes. is it in there? if so, then you need to re-patch or turn on the themes service (run > services.msc). if not, extract it from your xp cd.

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

I get this message when I tried to run the patcher:

"Neowin UXTheme Multi-Patcher v4.0 has detected that there's any Windows NT setup file in C:\windows\

It's not recommend you to continue with this. Please eject your Windows NT CD or move your setup files to other path. Press OK to exit patch."

do it manually.

follow my guide: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=339820

i even post the appropriate file there.

yeah that doeznt help me for the uxtheme im looking for v5.1 build 2600 xpsp.sp2. 050301-1519sp2 home edition

home/pro doesn't matter, and if you did the latest updates, it should still work (i use that file on my system, with windows updates).

give it a shot. the worst that can happen is the loss of visual style use. if that happens, just restore the backup or replace it with a different version.

trust me. :)

I just patched my UXTheme.dll about half an hour ago, and I am pleased with the results thank Windows X.

I have one flaw in it, it changes the Deer Park Alpha 2 icon on the Start Menu, to that of the Firefox logo - even though it is the next version of Firefox, it has a different logo until it is a final release. :)

well thanks for the help...just bout to reboot so ill let you know in uno momento

p.s.

jus checked now....works like a charm...thanks a lot for the help much appreciated  :D

what did i tell ya? :happy:

It doesn't work on windows XP MCE 2005 uxtheme

6.0.2900.2523

586434252[/snapback]

what did you use? the patcher?

Why not simply use Style XP and get it over with?

586450789[/snapback]

because:

-it's shareware, but the uxtheme hack is completely free.

-stylexp runs in the background while the uxtheme hack is permanent (hence, it doesn't need to run at all).

-i hate installing applications (clutters up my system). why should i install something to do what a simple file swap does without wasting money and resources?

those are my reasons. other people may have different opinions.

the damn uxtheme.dll patched my system and nothing happens. I cannot use themes. I used both options available including the manual patch and blah! Nothing.. Any suggestions?

could you at least provide us with some information? did you use the correct version? how did you apply the style? what happens when you double-click it? did you turn on the themes service?

I have had the 2.0 version installed for about a year now and I've had no bigs problems with it so I was wondering if I should upgrade or just comtinue using what I have. I've been reading through this topic and the problems people have been having kinda make me scared to upgrade.

uh, there's no need to "upgrade." 4.0 isn't an upgrade. it's just a newer patcher that can patch more systems. if you're patched, patching again won't do anything.

    • 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.
