Everyone noticed the visual improvements that Windows 7 got, especially after Windows Vista failed to please computer users in many parts of the world.

The sleek aero theme in Windows 7 complements every aspect of what Windows is all about.

However, sooner or later, users begin noticing that the Windows 7 theme is too common, and very little customizations can be done on it unlike in the previous versions of Windows.

Well, with Universal Theme Patcher, you don’t have to be ordinary anymore. This is because it lets you override Windows 7 configuration settings by allowing you to use unofficial Windows 7 themes.

The application is also very light and doesn’t need to be installed into your PC so that it can work. Immediately you click on its EXE file, it will ask whether you want to apply patches to your Windows 7 installation.

After giving it the mandate to apply the patches, it leads you to another window which has three main fields. Besides each field, there are two buttons which are labeled “Patch” and “Restore”.

At this stage, the Patch button is usually inactive since it had already patched Windows theme files.

The restore button, on the other hand, allows you to restore Windows’ original theme files so that your computer will cease accepting unofficial themes.

Nothing much can be said about Universal Theme Patcher’s interface since it is simple. Everything in the app is self-explanatory mainly because there are very few buttons to press.

However, even though the app is fairly simple to use, it still requires administrative right so that it can patch Windows’ theme files.

Pros

- It is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7

- It doesn’t require an installation so that it can run

- It creates backups of the original Windows 7 theme files

Cons

- The app comes with no documentation
