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

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.

    • I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.
    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
