I have used VistaGlazz in the past. But now I switched to Unviersal Theme Patcher because it didn't support Windows 7. Any reasons to switch back?
Nick
I have been using universal theme patcher x64. Vishal do you think VistaGlazz is better or should I just stay with the universal patcher?

^^ If one patcher is working fine for you, you don't need to use another one.

So what is this> Better than UXtheme patcher?

Its easier to use the 'Universal Theme Patcher' by deepwx which is compatible with ALL versions of windows, because it doesnt have system files in it, it has the code to allow the system files to work in it, so its small, no install needed, and is expected to work on 7 SP1 when it comes out.

Does this work for Windows Vista SP2
I heard some people tried it on vista sp2 and their system doesn't work anymore after they patched it
Josh
Wait im kind of confused.. So if i install this i can use windows xp visual styles on windows vista sp2?
VG
^^ No. Windows XP visual styles are not compatible with Vista. After using VistaGlazz you would be able to use all 3rd party themes which are created by theme developers. By default Windows doesn't allow you to use any 3rd party theme.
