UXStyle usage

[Frogboy Administrators]

For users who are more technical, Rafael has posted his UxStyle program that will patch out the digital signature check on any version of Windows (including Windows 7) to allow for the application of .msstyles files.

You can find his program here: http://uxstyle.com/

tried it did not work for me ( windows 7 Pro here ) so i went back to my older patcher and poof worked great

[CronicHazel]

well, you must've done something wrong, cause i have win 7 pro x64, and uxstyle worked brilliantly for me D:

Do I need to run this as an administrator?

If so, how do I do that? Because I don't see the option when I right-click the file, and I also don't have the option when I go to the file's properties.

I thought UxStyle ran something in the background that let you use custom msstyles rather then patching?

That's exactly what it does. It does it by editing the memory stream with a background services.

Also you need Visual C++ Redistribution 2008 in order to install it.

You're better off by patching, this mess is unreliable, broken, and prone to breaking sooner or later. Get yourself a uxtheme patch, and be done with it.

I've tried this on both my desktop and laptop (both Windows 7 x64), and it didn't work on either. I'd also recommend patching.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

For those who couldn't get it working: It's possible that you don't have Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 installed. It's a requirement for the program to work properly. Click here for links to the x86/x64 versions.

UXStyle definitely works better than patching. No need to mess with system files.

Yea, that sounds like a good idea. :rolleyes:

Works fine for me.... You people obviously just don't have Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 installed. Don't blame the program for your own fail :p

... Actually I do, and it doesn't work on either of the computers I've tried it on. So, yeah, it's kind of the program's fault.

fail would be on your part i have it installed

Works fine for me, too. It's a lot less hassle than patching your system files. It's been out for quite a while now, so it's old news. I'm not sure why we needed a new topic about it.

Because a lot of people that are new to theming windows probably don't know about it. D:

Q: For all those who can't get it to work have you contacted Raf to let him know what's going on?

[Denis W. Veteran]

If it doesn't work, please try restarting the "unsigned themes service."

[techbeck]

I have tried everything in this tread and its not working for me at all. Not sure whats going on but the theme just shows up blank in the list. The service is loaded and I have rebooted a few times. I even tried the file patch method and that doesnt work either. And yes, c++ 2008 is installed as well.

[MindTooth]

Works perfectly for me. So I am glad Rafael made UXStyle.

[simonlang]

it works nice! thanks a lot! :cool:

Am having the same trouble - cannot get it to work at all.

Have got the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 installed, tried using uxstyle but just does not work

any other ideas for all of us why this is not working? Am using Windows 7 Home Premium by the way.
