UxTheme Patch for Windows Server 2008 description
A patch for the theme manager of Windows Server 2008

The theme manager (implemented in Uxtheme.dll), introduced back in Windows Codename: Whistler days, is responsible for drawing non-client parts of every window displayed within Microsoft Windows according to the styles defined in your active theme.

To keep the Microsoft Windows branding intact, Microsoft added digital signatures to their themes, of which are validated at theme installation and application (i.e. at boot). Due to this limitation, only a handful of themes can officially be used within Microsoft Windows.

This patch removes the aforementioned checks to provide the Microsoft Windows enthusiast community a free and easy way to enable third-party customization of the entire Microsoft Windows user interface.

UxTheme Patch for Windows Server 2008 SP1 contains 3 DLL files that you can easily unrar and use.
