jay rod Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 there is also an application that I use called stylexpservice.exe that lets you use non-windows styles. it's 20 bucks but it comes with cool styles and allows you to turn it on and off as needed. And allows quick style changes without going into windows/resources/themes. free 30 day trial with nagware after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay rod Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 oh yeah a rip all the way but it does offer legitimacy to paying for it. It hasn't caused any system instability or anything and it comes with several cool themes not just styles that are really well thought out.

john smith 1924 Veteran Posted January 6, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 6, 2004 So to clarify, can someone else please verify that patchxp (above) works on Windows XP SP2 Beta (initial release); also, has anyone else found alternatives?

jay rod Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I have to do the patch in safe mode or don't click reboot just wait for it to do it itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 (edited) I've personally found more success in this program Damn. And yes Mr magoo I can confirm this one does not work with the offical WinXP Sp1 Beta 1. :( It even kills the standard three microsoft themes. Anyways in case if anyone needs the orignal uxtheme: http://home.sc.rr.com/newbieslair/uxtheme-orginal.dll But at least stylexp 2.0 works great with winxp sp2 beta 1. Any news on a new uxtheme? cya, Will Edited January 24, 2004 by war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizterie Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I got that Windows NT error so I tried out PatchXP and I still can't use themes, can anyone help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windows X Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 It seems like there's some regsitry detection problem on XPSP2 beta. Thus this, could someone save HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion (Without Subkey data) on XPSP2 Beta OS and post it here please?

Wiser87 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Just to make sure that I'm understanding this correctly... If you have a patched uxtheme.dll then Windows Update won't work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiser87 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 is this a definite change or there's an option to uninstal lthe changes this does ?----------------------- nevermind, it is, but then if i understand correctly, if i want to patch windows after having patched uxtheme, i need to unpatch that file first? Actually... this is where I got confused... :( :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
