UxThemePatcher thread on VC?

**MatG-DK** · March 7th, 2016 03:20 PM

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?

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?

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

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?

1. Download this file: https://www.mediafire.com/download/md...me+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 https://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
