Uxtheme Patching for Windows 7 SP1

What is Uxtheme Patcher?

There are countless visual styles for Windows 7 SP1 released by many skinners. Using these non-certified visual style is disallowed by Microsoft's certificate protection so you need to bypass certification verification in uxtheme.dll, themeui.dll, and themeservice.dll. Uxtheme Patcher automatically patches these three system files.

Methods:
  1. Automatic Uxtheme Multi Patcher
  2. Uxtheme Memory Patcher (UxStyle Core)
  3. Manually Replacing the System Files (For expert users)

Note:
I've never seen any broken Windows PC due to any uxtheme patch but you are still advised to create a system restore point before using Universal Theme Patcher (method 1).
If you are still unsure, then use UxStyle Core (method 2) because it is the safest way to use visual styles.
Replacing system files manually (method 3) is for the expert users only.

Nice, and yes in method 3 is for experts only, replacing a system file is very critical and it might didn't back the original one. Like I did in my XP.

I never installed Uxtheme as a standalone.... meaning that , when I was using XP and want it to add a new custom look usually the customization pack had in it this "uxtheme patcher" ..
It's good to see that that now a version for SP1 is available...I'm sure that will allow us to customize even further our OS.... :D
