UXTheme Multi-Patcher 9.0 Released – Windows 8/8.1 support with complete UxStyle memory patching

UXTheme Multi-Patcher 9.0

It’s been so long since last time I updated this project. Back then there was hardly reliable Windows 8 patches. Since I started to apply UxStyle memory patching in previous release, I planned to make complete memory patching build in next version so all Windows since XP can use this without trouble and now I can do this after releasing OS X Mavericks updates with Windows 8.1 support.

OS X Mavericks Transformation/UX Pack 2.0 Released – Proper release with Windows 8.1 updates

OS X Mavericks Transformation Pack

UPDATE: Windows 8/8.1 patch for OS X Mavericks Transformation Pack 2.0 is released reverting improper patched files fixing ‘Change adapter settings’ and network tray icon malfunction bugs.

At first I planned to release this on X’Mas but considering previous version having critical problems like breaking Windows 8 activation, it’s better to release as soon as possible. Sorry I didn’t use Windows 8 back then so testing in virtual machine won’t know whether it breaks or not without being activated. In this release, all reported bugs are taken care off. Windows 8 x86 can use theme without trouble now Windows 8.1 is officially supported with start button modified for OS X ones as well. Upgrading to version 2.0 will also fix breaking activation bug without the need to applying patch or uninstall so it’s highly recommended to upgrade immediately.

OS X Mavericks UX Patcher released to solve Windows 8 and font problems

Sorry for late release as it took quite a while to figure out what really happened and solve it thoroughly. It appears Windows 8 has system files protection in almost everywhere related to system so Branding no longer works as Windows activation uses it. New Internet Explorer updates broke iexplore.exe so I have to remove it along with ieframe.dll file. Facebook font problem is not solved by substituting ‘Lucida Grande’ with ‘Lucida Sans’. Not sure if this is the most optimal for everyone so report if it’s still not good enough so I can change it in upcoming 2.0 release.

OS X Mavericks Transformation/UX Pack Released – The best OS X Mavericks experiences is now

OS X Mavericks Transformation Pack

UPDATE 3: Patch for Windows 8 released. This will solve most of not all Windows 8 problems related to system files. This will also solve font problems in Facebook too.

UPDATE 2: For users encountering strange problems using OS X Mavericks Transformation Pack in Windows 8, please consider using OS X Mavericks UX Pack for time being. I’m aware of reported problems and most of them are related to modifying some system files having memory lock protection so using OS X Mavericks UX Pack won’t suffer this issue. They both shared the same user experiences and functional improvements. The only advantages of OS X Mavericks Transformation Pack is having graphical updates applied to system files.

UPDATE 1: Due to my clumsiness, I set applying installed programs’ permissions to Program Files’ native path so x64 OS having those files installed in x86 ones won’t have updated permissions making all changes remain the same after reboot. So I uploaded permissions fix patch and update main mirrors with this issue resolved.

You may wonder why there’s no update for Lion Transformation/UX Pack since release. Actually, I made updates but circumstances won’t allow the right time to release it. At first I planned to release 2.0 after next Windows 8 update but there’s Mountain Lion and Windows 8 coming back then. As for Windows 8, I have yet to see such OS X theme that I want to use it myself so I wait and wait until all the pieces come together and now is the time and it’s such opportunity to release it as my birthday present for everyone.  🙂

Sneak Peak before the release of upcoming new OS X projects

mavericks

I think I have finished all important parts for now. Looks like I’ll have a good present for my upcoming birthday. Man, modifying Windows 8’s system files was really pain in my back getting broken system here and there. It’s quite a shame that I couldn’t modify some important files thanks to some kind of protection that won’t make OS work after modification but I think it should be fully compatible without breaking stuff in Windows 8 x86/x64 now.
