[preview] Universal UXTheme Patcher

Okay everyone, this thread actually serves two purposes:

1) TESTING

To test some new software I developed (and needed to develop) to integrate into the upcoming FlyakiteOSX. If you haven't patched your uxtheme.dll file and want to, give this utility a try. It will not cause any harm to your system.

Now some of you I'm sure are aware of the Neowin UXTheme Multi-Patcher and are probably wondering what mine offers that the other doesn't:

• My patcher completely bypasses Windows File Protection
  
• The patcher can be run silently using the /S switch, allowing you to use it in an application you are developing, a custom XP cd, etc.
  
• The utility is self-updating. It checks to see if any updates are available online when it is ran. If an update is available, it will tell you and allow you to download the new version. If you choose to download the new version, it will download, run itself, and delete the original version.
  
• My patcher is 1/2 the size of the Neowin patcher

Sorry for being off-topic but do you have an "os x" PSD for making icons like that? because it looks exactly like the "os x" icons

#233284

universal?

will it work on WinXP_64 ??

#233329

Depends on the uxtheme.dll version number? What is your version number? I can check and let you know, and if it isn't supported at the moment I can add it before release.

#233330

i've always used replacer, but this looks great.

#233335

@ pcw : Its supposed to look, as you say, like "os x".

the version number is 6.0.3790.1218 (64bit)

#233405

Alright, if you can zip that file up and send it to me, I've got a friend who can figure out the correct values to edit and I can add it to the patcher. Just e-mail me at (flyakite19 @ hotmail)

Even if you had run the patcher it would have told you your uxtheme wasn't supported, and to please contact the developer

Too lazy to email it like I'm supposed to.

This Good!!!!

#233492

It could be interesting to see how this will turn out. I will definitely choose this over Neowin's version when it's out.

#233496

A.K.R, the patcher actually already came out. There's a download link in his first post.

Here are my rough attempts :

#233576

nice try pwnzrzpat the best so far

#233577

Yes! pwnzrzpat truly deserves to win this (unless better ones have arrived in your email, Flyakite).

Unbeliever: I did give the source of my thingies, along with informing you that they were literally two items slapped on top of each other. It wasn't like I was trying to deceive anybody. You guys knew up front that mine was a quickie.
