UxStyle is one of the best way to use 3rd party themes in Windows. Its a light-weight system service named Unsigned Themes, complimentary to the Themes service, and a kernel driver, sizing in at ~500k and ~17kb respectfully (beta builds). The service handles the enabling/disabling of custom theme support and the kernel driver handles patching. For 64-bit platforms, the kernel driver is signed with a digital certificate, as required by Microsoft.
This utility has been created by well-known "Rafael" @ Withinwindows.
Simply download and install the tool and get ready to enjoy 3rd party themes. It works in Windows XP, Vista and 7.
Note that it doesn't have any UI. It'll run as a service in background and will allow you to use 3rd party themes.

MMG
please answer following.
1. do i've to run it all the time in background whenever i use computer?
2. i already had patched my system with UXtheem a long time ago- do i need to do this again? - will it add more cool features?
VG
^^ No. It'll not add any new feature. If your system is already patched, you don't need to use it. Regarding background process, yes. It runs in background as a separate service all the time.
