Patching uxtheme no longer works


Recommended Posts

I just built myself a new rig (specs in sig), and after formatting, I now find I can't use any 3rd party themes anymore. I took ownership of the 3 necessary files (shsvcs.dll, themeui.dll, uxtheme.dll), replaced them with the patched ones, but the themes don't show up in Appearance Settings. I try clicking the theme/msstyle directly, but it does nothing but stay on the default Vista theme. I tried unpatching them and re-patching with VistaGlazz and that didn't work either. Anybody have any ideas? I never had a problem before.

Nothing?

I kind of had the same problem. what i ended up having to do was double click the theme (it would not show up in themes) and run it that way. I only had to do it one time. And that was after patching the theme files.....you can try that if you want. Wherever you execute it form though DO NOT move the file or else you will have to find it and run it again....
