Anyone know how to get UXTheme Multi-Patcher (Neowin Edition) to work with SP2?

Cant get the damn thing to patch correctly (Reluna) and Im stuck with Windows XP "Style"

StyleXP is an option, or the slightly harder method which is entirely free & takes 0 bytes of space on your disks is the following:

Unzip this for XP without SP1 or this for XP with SP1 to a temporary folder.
Rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.new   >>>   move it to c:\windows\system32   >>>   reboot into the recovery console
type
Quotecd system32
copy uxtheme.dll uxtheme.old
copy uxtheme.new uxtheme.dll
copy uxtheme.dll dllcache
exit
you can now extract skins to c:\windows\resources\themes and activate them using the inbuilt windows xp skin changer (where you change Classic or Luna theme) in the display control panel

.THEME files belong in \resources\themes and dictate a number of settings such as what skin to load, what icons & sounds & wallpaper to use, etc
skinname.
.MSSTYLES lives in \resources\themes\skinname - and skins cant be reached unless they meet this directory structure.

There you go, Xp skin 101.
Have fun and try not to break anything.
