Patch Windows XP SP3 to use StyleXP Visual Styles

April 21st, 2009 | by TK |
UXTender

With this patch you will be able to skin your Windows XP SP3  system without the use of third party software such as WindowBlinds or Style XP, but you will be able to use Style XP themes.  This makes for much faster boot-up times and less resource usage, plus it’s FREE and legal.

Obviously,  what you do to your own computer is your own fault.  Make sure you’re running Windows XP SP3.  The PC I am using has Windows XP Home SP3 and I had no problems what so ever.  I have NOT tested this with SP2 so I don’t know if it works or not.  (Yes, even though it says SP2 on the above image.)  There’s a comment on the link below about it working with SP2, if anyone else can confirm this in my comments it would be much appreciated.

You can download UXTender from here:  UXTender 1.3

Update:  Check out our latest post for a UXTheme patch that will work with more versions of Windows.

    A handy tip. My laptop just updated to SP3 (not sure why it took so long) so I think I’ll give this a go.

    I am a big fan of windows styling patches/programs/themes but lately I’ve decided to switch to Windows 7 which has way better graphics than what XP has to offers.

    I’m using the RC1 version of Windows now, but I don’t expect the final version to be any different…
