A freeware utility for Windows XP
that enables use of non-Microsoft themes.
NB: Does NOT work with OEM versions of Windows XP atm.!
--------<<<<<>>>>>----------
About:
PatchXP is a small program that modifies your current
version of uxtheme.dll so Windows XP can use non-Microsoft themes.
The program is only replacing the dll's at this moment,
and is NOT editing any files on your harddrive.
The program does also have a unpatch option, that replaces the new
uxtheme.dll's with the originials. The Unpatch option does only work
if you have already patched it with this program.
Howto:
- First Uninstall any version of StyleXP, or similar program you got.
- Unzip PatchXP.zip to any folder
- Run PatchXP.exe
- Click "Patch" (You will recieve a message saying that the patch was sucessful)
- Click "Reboot"
If you want to unpatch, follow the same procedure, only click "Unpatch"
UnPatch will NOT work if you haven't used the Patch option at first!
Problems:
If you encounter any problems (patching doesn't appear to work etc.) the try the
following:
1. Do a searh for any file named uxtheme.dl_ and rename it/them to uxtheme.bak,
then run PatchXP again (remeber to search for hidden files and folders too).
2. Remove any present Windows XP CD(s) from your cd-rom(s)
3. Check if your SP1 build has buildnumber: 1106
Changelog:
Version 1.1.0 :
- Works with current SP (build 1106)
- New logo and layout
