Skinpack patcher doesn't work for me either. After restarting the PC and loading a custom theme it doesn't do anything but change the wallpaper to the theme's wallpaper :/
Thanks, I tried UltraUXThemePatcher_2.1 and it does nothing just like the others I tried. It only changes the wallpaper. I guess I'll just wait for UXstyle to be back up. This is a clean x64 RTM install btw.
I basically want to use third party themes in 8.1 like I did with 8 without having to use Windowblinds. Thanks I'll give that a shot! Though I thought the creator of that patch said there were bugs in the 8.1 version which is why he took it down? I'll try it anyway.
Well I have windows 2012r2. I 1st installed " v0.2.3.0 UxStyle_sep23_x86_x64" and it didn't seem to work. I have some older Style themes and again didn't seem to work. I then installed one of the skinpacks and rebooted and works great. I redownloaded my Style themes and all work great. I have since rebooted many times to test and still working great. I used all the INFO here and the links posted here. Thanks
