Lawzy Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I've got a problem with the theme (Aero) not working, any idea on how to fix it? Quote
Guest snakecracker Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 have you patched uxtheme?EDIT: which OS you running? Vista or XP? Quote
Lawzy Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 It was working fine previously, then it just buggered up, there is no theme file for it in my themes, and i think it may have something to do with that lol, i now need to correct this problem, but no idea how or where i can get the replacment files needed Quote
Lawzy Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 have you patched uxtheme?EDIT: which OS you running? Vista or XP?I have no idea, it should have been pathched by VTP if it needed to, so i have no idea, and i'm running XP Quote
Keithy E Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Graphics Card? UXTHEME Patch?....You don't need a 9800GT to run a standard Windows XP Theme.....All VTPs and Bricopacks patch the UXTHEME file anyway.You wouldn't run a Vista Transformation Pack if you were running Vista, unless you were braindead....1) Check to see if the the msstyles file is in "%WINDIR%\Resources\Themes\Windows Vista Aero"2) Open Viwc.exe and repair the VTP3) If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall.4) If THAT doesn't work, use Vishal Gupta's Aero Theme, it's MUCH better. Google it Quote

Lawzy Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 Yeah none of it has worked, i know the msstyles file has somehow disappeared, where can i get it? Quote
Keithy E Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Just reinstall the VTP. It should come back up. Quote
Lawzy Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 I think an update for Windows Media Player 11 is causing the theme problems, anyone know why? Quote
erdaz Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 this program stuffed up my sound driver, after i installed it, it worked and after a day my sound wasn't coming out, so i uninstalled it and it works fine now!!!!!!!!! Quote
AMIRZ Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) I'd still prefer Tuneup Utilities (Tuneup Styler) rather than uxtheme patch to enable 3rd party VS, since it will just "patch" the theme in the memory (instead of hacking the binaries). Even though it's a shareware, but still a very worthy app to buy imo. And it will work no matter OS build/minor version number/Service Pack/Update that you're using.

And it will work no matter OS build/minor version number/Service Pack/Update that you're using.well a small correction any os but Win 7 << i'm waiting for the New Version working with Win 7 my self it's a really good tool and in Win 7 no need to uxtheme patch any more Quote
AMIRZ Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) ^ Yeah you're right DaRk MaDnEsS sorry that's what i meant only XP / Vista here (in this case) with all their (uxtheme.dll) minor/build versions. Still waiting for the update too Edit: Or just use UxStyle Core ("dynamic patch") from Rafael, it's also a good tool and works in almost the same way: http://www.withinwindows.com/2009/06/19/uxstyle-core-beta-bits-now-available/ and it's free lol still beta though (may not work properly on 7 RTM) Edited September 20, 2009 by AMIRZ Quote
pri2sh Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 may be wfp is not letting u to modify theme Quote
