(Sometimes the patcher may fail to patch your system. Uninstall it and take ownership of the following
files in C:\Windows\System32

uxtheme.dll, UXInit.dll and themeui.dll.

You may use this: [https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-

Note:

For dark themes Windows 10 loads defaults from

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\DefaultColors]

after every lock/sleep/hibernate/crash.

Make a backup of that key, take ownership of it, and then delete that whole key (defualtcolors)

Enjoy.
