Windows 7 Customization Thread
This thread is dedicated to customization of your Windows 7 Operating System. Visual Styles will be posted over here and tweaks and tricks to make your Windows experience more awesome :star:
I take no responsibility of third party tools or files downloaded from the links posted below. However, I will try to post certain warnings and how to's to make sure you don't screw your system or at worst, yourself
Most of the Visual Styles you will find on the web requires Uxtheme patching this is not the official way, obviously, and hampers EULA:
5. LIMITATION ON REVERSE ENGINEERING, DECOMPILATION, AND DISASSEMBLY. (2003)
I don't know what the EULA is for this particular Operating System. So, you are responsible for what you do with your system. This thread is an educational thread.
Uxtheme Patcher
Most of the Visual Styles you will find around the web requires your uxtheme.dll and themeservice.dll to be patched. This is in some way breaking the EULA terms, but, am not too sure of that. But, if it's that much of a big deal then there are so many transformation pack already which are completely based on this funda.
Types of Uxtheme Patch
There are basically three methods for patching uxtheme.dll, themeui.dll, and themeservice.dll:
[*]Uxtheme multi patcher (Universal Theme Patcher)
[*]Uxtheme memory Patcher (UxStyle Core)
[*]Manually replacing the system files (For expert users)
[/list]
Automatic Uxtheme Multi Patcher
The Uxtheme patcher that are found on websites like Softpedia are not updated from quite a long time, I searched around the web and found this version to be working fine on Windows 7 SP1 x86 (32-bit) and x86 (64-bit) versions. I have personally tested and below you will see the screenshots that I have taken after installing the themes and styles.
Note: This patcher is also compatible with Windows XP SP, SP3; Server 2003, Vista SP1,SP2; Server 2008 and Windows 7 RTM, SP1.
Both x64 and x86 versions are included in the file below. Make sure to scan the files before executing.
Download it from here: Universal Theme Patcher
When you are done patching the files, restart.
Now it's fun time mmmm not really, but, if you want to, no ones stopping you
Note: All these themes may have bugs, as they are created by users like you and me. So, don't bother reading ahead, if you fear screwing your system.
