You can use TuneUp Utilities to change the theme and it works just fine. no need to patches or anything

Step 1 - Download and Install Tune Up Utilities from ->Here<-

Step 2 - Open It and click Customize Windows (at Left hand side)

Step 3 - Click Visual Style ( Botton of Left hand Side)

Step 4 - Now Click on Add > “Install Visual style from File”

Step 5 - Choose the Visual Style ( .msstyles or .theme format ) you had downloaded from your Hard Disk.

Step 6 - Click on “Apply Visual Style” to make it work.
