UXTheme Multi-Patcher (Neowin Edition) 4.0


Recommended Posts

my mates downloaded this and his computer has messed up.

He had stylexp installed but never unistalled it before adding the patch.

It logs into windows but doesnt show the startmenu or any icons.

He can open command prompt and thats just about it.

The error he gets is

"cannot set themecolor"

"cannot getthemecolor can not be found in uxtheme.."

and some others similiar.

Anyone that has had this or knows a fix please tell me ASAP

thanks :)

uninstall stylexp first, and then patch.

also, what version of windows is he using? what's the uxtheme version?

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

so get a copy of the default uxtheme file and restore it. you can do this with replacer: http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/ since you can use the command prompt.

you can also do this from the recovery console.

Edit:

Just read the replacer readme

Requirements:

- Windows XP or 2000

- Administrator privileges

- Windows setup CD not in drive

- Windows Scripting Host 5.6

He does not have a windows cd and the windows scripting host.

Read it one more time. Windows CD NOT IN DRIVE - meaning that you should NOT have a windows cd when running the program. He doesn't have the CD - no problem.

Windows scripting host - a link is provided. He can't click on a link?

hey guys i seem to be having a problem with the manual patch noone else is. When opening Replacer the command prompt window opens for only a fraction of a second and dissappears. Contrary to a screenshot of it ive seen. Nothing else happens.

Thanks

Give my patch a try and see if it works for you: http://rapidshare.de/files/7979627/Univers...r_v1.2.zip.html

By the way, it is hosted on rapidshare because the server my site is hosted on was DoS attacked, and the site is not reachable at the moment.

    • Pretty sure you will be happy with the result, good luck and take it slow!
    • Mixed thoughts. I do think MS realized it need's to re-focus on it's core while trying to get people to ultimate pay for AI. My windows machines is my gaming tower. That being said a windows machine I used as a server was just recently converted to no GUI Linux server (and it runs so much better for it's purpse), and general purpose laptop (non-gaming) that could run Windows 11 is using Linux. My work device is a MacBook Pro, and I have a raspberry PI acting as my DNS server, using linux. I honestly have more non-windows devices then devices. I don't consider myself typical user however.  
    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
    • At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.
