I seem to remember a little while ago that that someone was asking for a patched/fixed version of uxtheme.dll so that they could continue to use other styles than MS's own after the expiry date of TGTSoft's prog StyleXP, & that someone else said that to use a copy of the patched DLL after the 30 day time limit has run out would not be legitimate & that it would be classed as w@rez.
 
Just to put the record straight. TGTSoft [the makers of StyleXP] have a util to patch the DLL in question - the util is described as FREEWARE, so I guess that puts the matter to rest.
 
Here's the link for the file, direct from TGTSoft's site:

the reason my post was edited was because i posted a 'work-around' to the 30 day time limit on StyleXP. So the post itself was fine, it was just the fact that i told people how to get around the 30 day expiry on StyleXP, that was what made the mods edit it.

i agree it was a great tip, yet so simple.

Many programs are like that, FlashFXP is another that my custom workaround works on. Most programmers forget to check the date after the program initialises for the 1st time.
