Denney Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 NOTE: To clear this up for everyone... If you don't want to hack the file yourself, download the attached file and REPLACE the file on your CD. That's all you have to do to be able to use ANY theme.Here is my UXTHEME.DLL hack for Themes...At offset (0001BB8C) change:81 EC 88 00 00 00 A1 18 to:33 F6 8B C6 C9 C2 08 00Another fine hack done. So simple these are. I've also attached the hacked UXTHEME.DLL for use on the Windows XP CD.Edit: Re-attached UXTHEME.DL_ file with better compression (thanks RyanVM).UXTHEME.DL_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrzycrim Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Thanks for the warning. I haven't downloaded it yet however. I won't have SP2 for a while longer yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybertron Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Here is my UXTHEME.DLL hack for Themes...At offset (0001BB8C) change:81 EC 88 00 00 00 A1 18 to:33 F6 8B C6 C9 C2 08 00Another fine hack done. So simple these are. I've also attached the hacked UXTHEME.DLL for use on the Windows XP CD.I am just curious, where can i read about hacking these files? I dont understand "at (xxxx) offset change blah to blah" I dont mean to ask stupid questions but i'm not really sure where to even begin, much like another topic i have yet to figure out, regaurding setting the registry to point to a new dll (msgina.dll for example) so that when that file is updated via windows update, your hack (the ctrl-alt-del edited window) is still working. So where can i read up on "offsets" and the like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 the msgina is easy, it's just a key that points to your customized one, with a different name.RaveRod, I wonder if the hacker program Timo makes, works with the final.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denney Posted August 7, 2004 Author Share Posted August 7, 2004 @cybertron: I found these edits by using debuggers, process watchers, hex editors etc. They take some time to find but if you know what you're looking for it's easy. I'd suggest searching for some cracking sites (eg. sites on creating No-CD patches are a great start).@Aaron: I don't see why not. I haven't time/need to check it so I don't know. It should still work though.@rootfixxxer: Where did you get the file from? Have you performed the hex edits? Use a hex editor (not Resource Hacker) to check the above offsets and see what they say.

rootfixxxer Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 i'm talking about the SP1... i get it from my CD ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denney Posted August 7, 2004 Author Share Posted August 7, 2004 Make sure you've hex edited the file. Then ModifyPE it and then compress it with makecab.Then overwrite the UXTHEME.DL_ file on the CD.Have you tried using other themes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denney Posted August 7, 2004 Author Share Posted August 7, 2004 It's all done. Just copy the file (from the first post) and overwrite the one on the XPSP2 CD.That's all you have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
