About Vista Glazz:

This small tool allows you to patch your “uxtheme.dll” files.
What is that you may ask? Hold on just a second and I`ll tell you :p.

The term “uxtheme files” is just a general term that many in the visual styling community use.

Uxtheme.dll is located in your “C:\Windows\System32\” directory, and it`s ONE of three files that actually have to be patched to use visual styles on Windows Vista.
Here are the names of all three files that need to be patched (for those interested):

• themeui.dll
• shsvcs.dll (the
• uxtheme.dll

And PLEASE, please, do NOT, alter these files if you have no clue what you are doing. Trust me it can cause serious problems for you, and you`ll be sitting there wondering “what just happened?”. Recovering involves knowledge of how to use Windows System Restore, and how to manually replace the original versions of these uxtheme files. Not fun in other words. Just a warning.

So just use Vista Glazz, or one of the other utilites that I`ll get around to listing here soon, and you`ll be alright.

DO NOT REPLACE THESE FILES MANUALLY, it can be done, but DON`T do it unless you know what you are doing.
