Users who want to download and install third-party themes on Windows clearly need a dedicated solution to patch system files and allow the installation of such files, so it’s no surprise that UXTheme Multi-Patcher recorded so many downloads until now.

Version 12 has been officially launched today and brings a startup launcher to handle Glass configuration, but also a new system which verifies that the theme engine works properly on startup.

At the same time, it also includes some fixes for bugs that were changing the system theme to classic on some systems and improves service configuration for better compatibility with Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.

“Since Windows XP was released, there are countless 3rd-party visual styles released by many skinners in order to improve user’s experiences and eye candy. To use non-certified visual style is disallowed by Microsoft’s certificate protection so you need to bypass certification verification in uxtheme.dll,” the developing team behind the project explains the purpose of the app.

As you could easily guess, the app works on all Windows versions on the market, starting with the old XP and ending with the new Windows 8.1.

Overall, this update should really come in handy to many users, so go ahead and download UXTheme Multi-Patcher 12 right now to see what it brings new.
