XnView toolbar breaks with custom themes

Ok, i know. This should be blamed on me for using custom themes (521-advance4/3). The theme uses a customized uxtheme.
The problem is that when XnView starts the toolbar buttons are bigger than the toolbar in height. The XnView first starts, the toolbar and the buttons are sized properly, but later on the buttons are rendered incorrectly.
To reproduce this, you should be able to do it by using,
521-Advance4/3:

This is a problem with "521-Advance4/3" and NOT XnView.

I disagree.
i would say it's the theme if XnView didn't start properly at first and then resize the icons wrong (this happens within the first seconds). In any case, i would assume that the same problem does occur on any theme (tweaked or otherwise) that has smaller toolbar buttons than the standard windows ones.

The first link raises "Forbidden access", with the second one I'm not quite sure what it does, so I didn't install it.
I assume that you have set the width / height in the file 'info.txt' for your custom scheme, if not this might be the problem.
Pierre will rather know what the problem might be...

Hmm.. the author must have broken the site, it worked just fine this morning.. The second link will patch your uxtheme.dll to support StyleXP -like themes for WindowsXP. I can't guarantee that it doesn't do any harm, as it does replace a windows system file. So please, do your research before using the utility. (I've patched my computer without any troubles, but one can never be too careful)

Oh, i don't know if i made it clear. 521-Advance4/3 is a theme for Windows, not for XnView.

Yeah..
I must apologise here, with the amount of bugreports i've done in the last few years, i should have been more precise on this one too.

You need to patch your uxtheme.dll (get the patching utility and follow instructions) and install the 521-advance4/3 theme (unpack it to %windir%\resources\themes directory) and set one of the variants as your theme (control panel -> display -> themes and select advance4-3-nnnn from the dropdown)
Be prepared for atleast one reboot after patching your uxtheme.dll.
And it looks like the 521 site works again..

I've patched the uxtheme, and installed 521-Advance4/3 theme, but i have no problem with toolbar...
Perhaps a problem in my installation??

so i take it that your toolbar stays compact and not spaced like my toolbar?
Oh well, i'll just suffer from the bug. It's not like it keeps me from using xnview
