I've unleashed the first beta build of UxStyle Core onto the world. It should work on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and most importantly Windows 7. All platforms. Revert your lame Uxtheme patches and give it a shot! Let us know if we blow up your machine. We're keeping a tally.

Finally!
But I've already replaced my uxtheme and other files on Vista so I can't test it.

I'll test! Thanks Rafael!

Update: Holy crap it works! Not like I was expecting a failure. So where is the process or service, so I can see its resource usage?

So all this, as of now, is the UnsignedThemesSvc.exe process?

I'd like to see some sort of .msstyles switcher (Windows 7's theme switcher doesn't allow you to change just the .msstyle. You have to change everything at once. The custom switcher would bypass this hassle.)

But this is WAY more stable than some of the other patches surfacing on the interwebs.

Nice job Rafael!

By typing "All platforms", do that include Vista RTM, SP1, SP2 and Win7 x64 editions?

American english language, and i dont see the process listed. is there a way for me to manually start it?

[Villain]

went back to my uxtheme patcher. sorry, but the app, for some reason, is not working for me.

UxStyle implements an Unsigned Themes service. Open services.msc to see/start it. It's in your best interest to get this working as I'm not patching any more uxtheme files. This means your "patcher" will die and become obsolete soon.

I have the same problem as Villain. I installed it, without restarting afterwards. Then I applied a theme and it all worked. Now I restarted today, and there isn't a service for "Unsigned Themes" so I can't start it. And I tried running the installer again, but still nothing.

Are you claming that the service disappeared? Is UxStyle installed? Try sc start UnsignedThemes from the command prompt.

"The specified service does not exist as an installed service"

Yes, I have installed it. Three times now, hoping to resolve the problem. But nothing. Any help?

By the way, XP SP3.

Does it show up in Add/Remove? Does UnsignedThemesSvc.exe exist in \Windows directory?

Yes and Yes. So I fixed it by uninstalling it, then reinstalling it. That's really weird.

[M.Sudoku]

Thanks for the release. I'll give it a try.

[yungjay]

Wow! This is awesome! Are there any other themes for Windows 7 other than the Ribbon one?
