lvllord's tcpip patch still works:

http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=downloads

Found another patch:

http://hwrms.com/blog/?p=17

I'm not sure but does the lvllord patch just switches the SP3 tcpip.sys with a hacked/patched SP2 tcpip.sys?

Or does it hack the tcpip.sys of the current version?

And I found another hacked uxtheme.dll(5512) at Winmatrix.

Should be the same thing, right?

Here you go... hacked the file myself. If you have issues with it, sorry! Just to make sure you know, this is the v5512 file with the Hex edited, not just a v5508 file or some such. :)

uxtheme_6.0.2900.5512_EN_checksum.zip

Also, an easy way to patch it is using "Replacer"!

P.S. If this kills your PC, sorry! But it's working fine on mine, see:

UPDATE - Fixed the checksum... let me know if there is anything else I missed!! :)

Neowin needs you for Grafix again man

I have a problem! :(

I installed SP3 from the Windows Update, all fine. Restarted my computer and the current style was Windows Classic. Installed a Uxtheme from this topic and I could change my style again... but only the windows were styled, not the taskbar. The taskbar is still in Windows classic and I can't even apply Windows XP theme. :/

Help... Anyone with the same problem?

See:

because those are meant for vista not xp :)

On the site there is a tool that makes is possible, but its not compatible with SP3.

"If you want to use this theme on any version of Windows XP, you have to download the XP Theme Patcher."

I thought that this patchin tool i get here was the same.

Guess not...?

you shouldn't bump topics... but in this case it worked out for you.

Sounds like your not replacing the old uxtheme.dll

If you read the topic, it gives you this link:

http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/

it will replace files on your PC for you. If that doesn't work, check online for uxtheme replace

Look, I even googled it for you, how to replace it manually:

After replaxing my uxtheme.dll I no longer needed to use StyleXP. In fact I uninstalled it finally.

Thanks a ton for working this one out by the way, I've been trying to correspond with TGTSoft for months before I finally got fed up and decided to see if there was a fix floating around out there.

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
