I know.... At least there was no beer shortage afterwards, that would've made it a true disaster!
And the word doesn't bother me a bit. Unless a white person calls me it.
Then I gotta break my foot of in his ass Jet Li style.
You need to replace the uxtheme.dll (windir\system32) with an unlocked one to be able to use non-signed visualstyles. The best way is to know the library version (file properties, probably 6.0.2900.2180) and replace it with the correct one yourself by using Replacer. You can find unlocked uxtheme.dll's here.
Then reboot and go to DevianArt for some really nice visualstyles. They go in the windir\Resources\themes folder.
Hope this helps.
