I have to ask this..
Why is it that VC is sending people to Cleodesktop to get UxThemePatcher for Windows 10,
instead of making a thread at this forum that will help people using custom themes?
:whistle:

Thinking that sending new members to cleodesktop, may give them the idea that it's not "safe" to use custom themes, if understand my point?
:evil:

It would be easy to just upload these files and pics and people would not have to visit anything else than VC..
:peace:

No real reason to upload those files. If you're going to use this method of patching, why not use the installer?

As i said, i like to do it manually.. And that installer look like something from skinpacks and i do not appreciate when u need to use passwords for unpacking and installing things ;)

I mean, don't get med wrong.. The installer is fine i guess, but what i meant was why link to cleodesktop where it's a guide to manual install? Something to do with it's not allowed to make a thread similar to the one on cleodesktop, or what?

Ok here goes, do this AT YOUR OWN RISK and make a backup beforehand.
1. Download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/md38z4dczd8oaia/Theme+Patcher.rar
2. Install UxStyle_0242_x86_x64_preview (Run ad admin...)
3. Install UltraUXThemePatcher_3.0.4 (Run as admin...)
4. Restart
5. Download and install TakeOwnershipEx http://winaero.com/download.php?view.16
6. Open folder system32 search with keys "Themeui.dll", right click the file select Take ownership & rename "themeui.dll" to "themeui.dll.del"
7. In system32 search with keys "uxinit.dll", right click the file select Take ownership & rename "uxinit.dll" to "uxinit.dll.del"
8. In system32 search with keys "uxtheme.dll", right click the file select Take ownership & rename "uxtheme.dll" to "uxtheme.dll.del"
9. Copy all three files from Theme Patcher\File Patch (dependent on your architecture) into system32.
That's it!

Yes yes, that was exactly what i meant.. But that thread i could not find ;)
And it should be a sticky and be in its own thread if u know what i mean..

And then etc. Mr GRiM and others should use a link to that thread instead of cleodesktop
