If you want to change the appearance of your computer's operating system, you will surely not be frowned upon, as most of us feel the need for change from time to time.

If the default themes provided by Microsoft are not up your alley, so to speak, then there is a good chance that you already know that Windows does not allow the installation of non-certified third-party visual styles and themes.

However, there is an accessible way to get around this restriction with the help of a simple tool named UxStyle.

Without getting too much into detail, UxStyle is a lightweight and efficient piece of software that effectively loosens up the Windows theme signature requirements, allowing you to install third-party non-certified themes.

Before anything else, you should know that the program works with all versions of Windows from XP all the way up to the latest Windows 10 versions, as well as with the Server versions like 2003, 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2.

Consisting out of just a system service and a kernel driver, it should not come as a surprise that the tool does not also come with a graphical user interface. This said, to enjoy all the benefits it provides, simply download it and install it with the help of its streamlined and minimalist installer.

Considering there's no GUI, there is also no actual feedback that something has changed but from the point it is installed,  you should be able to install third party themes by following the exact instructions within their packages.

To conclude, if you want to be able to install third-party non-certified themes and change the look of your computer's OS with the minimum amount of fuss involved, then UxStyle is surely worthy of your attention as it is one of the most accessible and versatile utilities of its kind.
