UxStyle

Important Note

UxStyle is now in read-only mode and will not be updated. There are known compatibility issues with Windows 10 Creators Update (and above) that have will not be resolved due to lack of interest, use, and time.

About

UxStyle is a bit of software that relaxes Windows theme signature requirements to enable third-party customization. Specifically, UxStyle consists of a tiny system service and a kernel driver that are loaded into memory where they hang out until reboot. No file system changes are made.

(First introduced on March 19, 2009.)

Operating System Support

• Windows codenamed "Whistler" (escrow builds)
• Windows XP
• Windows Vista
• Windows 7
• Windows 8
• Windows 8.1
• Windows Server 2003
• Windows Server 2008
• Windows Server 2008 R2
• Windows Server 2012
• Windows Server 2012 R2
• Windows codenamed "Threshold"
• Windows 10 Technical Preview

Building

Required software

• Visual Studio 2013
• Windows Driver Kit (WDK) for Windows 8.1
• Windows Software Development Kit for Windows 8.1
• WiX Toolset v3.8 (untested with newer)

Note about code signing

Starting with Windows Vista, the kernel-mode code signing policy controls whether a kernel-mode driver will be loaded. The signing requirements depend on the version of the Windows operating system and on whether the driver is being signed for public release or by a development team during the development and test of a driver.

More information can be found via the resources below:

• Kernel-Mode Code Signing Requirements
• Cross-Certificates for Kernel Mode Code Signing
• Driver Signing Policy

Legacy Windows users: Pay particular attention to the hashing algorithm used in your code signing certificate. Windows 7 and below do not support the loading of kernel drivers signed with newer SHA-2-based certificates.

More information can be found in Microsoft Security Advisory 2880823.

Fuzzy step-by-step

1. Open UxStyle.sln and start a Batch Build for the following project configurations:

   • UnsignedThemes (x64, Release)
   • UnsignedThemes (x86, Release)
   • UxPatch (x86, Win 8 Release)
   • UxPatch (x64, Win 8 Release)

2. Manually sign build artifacts:

   • \bin\x86\Release\UnsignedThemes.exe
   • \bin\x64\Release\UnsignedThemes.exe
   • \bin\driver\x86\uxstyle.sys
   • \bin\driver\amd64\uxstyle.sys

3. Return to Visual Studio and Batch Build the following project configurations:

   • Installer (x64, Release)
   • Installer (x86, Release)

4. (optional) Manually sign build artifacts:

   • \bin\x86\Release\Installer.msi
   • \bin\x64\Release\Installer.msi

5. Return to Visual Studio and build Bundle (x86, Release).

6. Manually sign build artifact \bin\bundle\Release\UxStyle_Bundle.exe

uxstyle's Issues

UxStyle_0241_x86_x64_rel2_preview.exe not working on Windows 10 9926 x64

UxStyle_0241_x86_x64_rel2_preview.exe installs successfully. Then when I apply a theme. It causes explorer.exe to crash and restart. Then it creates a file "WER34B7.tmp.WERDataCollectionFailure.txt" and in it. It says "Heapdump not attached to report.
ProcessHeapDumpRequest failed: 0x80004005"

Install Uninstall Fail

win8.1 update3 32 bit
Trying to get White text on dark title bar.
Via 'Dark' themes which make no difference when applied -- just get a default windows theme.
Anyway, tried to install
UxStyle_sep23_x86_x64.exe
Got error so did cleanup with:
sc delete uxstyle
sc delete UnsignedThemes
Then installed fine.
Still no diff when applying dark themes.
So installed
UxStyle_0241_x86_x64_rel2_preview.exe
assuming that it could be used on 8.1 -- not for 10 only.
Still no diff when applying dark themes -- so figured still doing something wrong.
So again did cleanup with:
sc delete uxstyle
sc delete UnsignedThemes
Did not know there was an uninstall feature within UxStyle_0241_x86_x64_rel2_preview.exe.
Now when try to reinstall UxStyle_0241_x86_x64_rel2_preview.exe, it only gives option to uninstall.
And in trying to do that, it will not complete.
Windows add / remove will also not uninstall.
The cleanup commands above just report:
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

Look into attestation signing for Windows 10 Anniversary Edition users

After applying a theme for Windows 10 and logging off, explorer will no longer run on that user

After installing UxStyle, applying a theme for Windows 10, logging out and then logging back in again, explorer and Task Manager will NO longer run on the system. The only solution to this on my PC is to restore to a point before installing UxStyle...

KERNEL MODE HEAP CORRUPTION

I have installed this on windows 10 and I restarted my computer and a blue screen came up saying "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart to collect some error info..." and says "Stop code: KERNEL MODE HEAP CORRUPTION" and then restarts the PC and the same thing happens every time I have attempted to reset to factory settings but it says corrupted. It was an old computer so I don't really care.

Not working on Windows 10 14931+ due to hotpatch changes

UXStyle is not working on this build. It is a Fast Ring update, But Id love to be able to theme on this build. The Personalize menu crashes as soon as you open it.

Can't install with 32-bit XP Embedded SP3

Installer log: http://pastie.org/pastes/10927179

The "UXTheme Multi-Patcher" will try to install, but only drop its files. It claims success, but UxStyle isn't installed at all. If I run any version of UxStyle's installer, they instantly fail with a log resembling the one linked.

Not applying correctly on Windows 10

I just installed UxStyle, placed theme in Resources/Themes, applied but nothing changed beside few minor colors changes. Service is running - I checked. What am I doing wrong?

Demonstration: https://gfycat.com/PleasedImmaterialFulmar

Suggestion: Patch explorerframe.dll + shell32.dll

Hi. I'm currently using Windows 10 build 1511. I notice that some themes can change the Explorer + Start menu BG. After a little research i found out that explorerframe.dll and shell32.dll need to be patched. Can you find out how to patch those files?

Themes don't apply correctly, can't reinstall uxstyle

My themes no longer apply correctly. Windows Update might have something to do with it.

I can't reinstall uxstyle, this is the uninstall log:
http://pastebin.com/wneSewnz

uxstyle.com does not have a usage section

There is no information on uxstyle.com that describes functionality in other terms than is "relaxes Windows theme signature requirements to enable third-party customization".

How do I change color theme, now when I have this program installed?

installswitches for unattended / silentinstall

This is a very nice program, but it need
silent install switches :)

Thank you very much for this
nice program !

by the way
your program it's in different computers news there in Germany !
keep it up !

Not Working on CREATORS UPDATE!!!!

After Downloading Windows 10 Creators Update, and installing UX Style.
My PC started freezing once I extracted the arc theme and I can't even access my themes!!!

Win 8.1 - Right sliding panel issue

I saw on uxstyle.com that the Win 8 / 8.1 binary may be buggy, I just wanted to report a bug that I can easily replicate:

After initial install, applying custom themes happens no problem. But after the first or second reboot (never got past a 2nd reboot before this issue popped up) the right side panel seems to appear and stay there, blocking the system tray and time/date panel.

Even more odd is that this panel is completely blank. After that, subsequent reboots or theme changes have no effect. The panel just stays there blocking the system tray, and time/date panel.

The panel is the exact same size as the one that appears when you click on the network / WIFI icon in the system tray. The only way I can get rid of that panel is to uninstall UxStyle and reboot.

Other than that, UxStyle works perfectly on my copy of Win 8.1 Pro (as long as I never reboot).

EDIT: Almost forgot ... I'm running x64 version of Win 8.1, and I'm running a few of the common addons for custom themes like OldNewExplorer, AeroGlass, StartIsBack. I've messed with a few variations of installing/uninstalling those apps and rebooting. Doesn't seem to have an effect so far.

Also installing / uninstalling is not an issue on my system (noticed that issue was still open).

UXTheme Multi-Patcher 15.0 - not work in windows 10 creator update

I installed windows 10 creator update and the themes stopped working. Please I hope they get it to work for the new version of windows. Congratulations on your work

Need help installing

Hello

I find it unclear how to install this software.
Do I need to build the thing using the instructions in the readme and then run the installer that I built?
In that case, how do I "sign" the code? Do I really need to submit the built executable to the MS Dev portal (I'm running Windows TH2 (1511) ), or is a "test-signing" enough?

Or is there a hidden installer that will magically set up the thing?

Cannot install on 10041 and later (using UxStyle_0242_x86_x64_preview.exe)

It displays an uh oh message when trying to install on Windows 10 10041 and onwards

Will this work on creator update 1703?

will uxstyle work on the creator update?
i realise themes still have to be updated, but is this patch still working?

Hasn't been updated in 9 months

Is this project even active anymore. It was a cool project, but if it is dead, I guess it's time to find alternatives.

Personalize > Theme won't open after installing uxstyle

I used Custom windows theme for a long time, but then microsoft created a patch recently. Now i'm at
Version 1703 (OS Build 15063.296).
The theme I always used got disabled, but not completely disabled. The font color still there, and it really makes me hard to use the PC because the font color is white and the Windows explorer background is also white.
I tried reinstalling it. But I cant open the theme option. (right click > personalization > theme)
after uninstalling uxstyle, I can access it again.

please help, I cant use my computer properly right now,
Thanks !

Code signing during UXStyle building

The fuzzy step by step instructions for building uxstyle says that once the service and driver files have been compile, we need to leave VS2013 and sign these files manually.

I'm on Windows 7. If I understand correctly, my options are to either subscribe to paid cirtificate to sign the driver or test sign my files and run Windows in test mode. Is this correct or is there another way of getting these files signed without having to go to through the test signing route or the pay route?

Also, the instructions said to select a Windows 8 release during compilation. Should I select Windows 7 or would the Windows 8 release work for me too?

Service stops working

For about a month, I've been experiencing the following problem. Probably appeared after a windows update:

• The Unsigned themes service starts with the computer.
• I'm running a custom theme (dark) - everything is working.
• I switch to the default windows theme - no problems.
• I try to switch back to the custom theme (dark) - some parts remain unchanged (white).

I've tried with different custom themes and it's the same result. It doesn't always happen like that, but often.

Restarting the service fixes the problem.

Windows 10 Anniversary Update WinLogon/DWM crash

The driver causes WinLogon.exe and DWM.exe to crash when a secondary display is attached/detached. This causes Windows to forcefully logout of the current user session, and in some cases, prevent login until the OS is restarted. The crash offsets are always the same whenever this happens. Running Windows 10 x64. I don't recall this particular issue ever cropping up when running the previous update of Windows.

It's looking like the kernel-mode driver bit is struggling to start.
I've tried manually removing the service using sc delete uxstyle, which succeeds in axing the registry entry for it, and since the installer fails before installing the other service, sc delete UnsignedThemes fails and doesn't do anything.
I've also run the installer with the /uninstall switch before trying again.

I'm on a Microsoft Surface Pro 1 with Windows 8.1, latest firmware and all the latest updates, including November 2014.
I'll disable driver signature enforcement and secure boot now, to test if it succeeds then.

Prevents Windows 10 Anniversary Update from installing

I tried installing the anniversary update today, only for it to fail. THREE TIMES. When I uninstalled UxStyle, everything worked fine.

UnsignedThemes service needs to restarted after sleep/resume

On resuming the OS from a sleep state, many window elements revert to their default color scheme/theme. The UnsignedThemes service needs to restarted before the (custom) theme can be reapplied.

Running Windows 10 x64 Anniversary Update.

Windows 10 animations

Try some themes, and you'll see that animations don't work properly. Switching desktops using ctrl+win+right/left will result in no animation vs official microsoft has animation. Same goes for minimizing and closing windows.

No longer working on Windows 10 (November Update / Build 10586 / v1511)
