Should you want to re-enable them, right click vampire.exe in the default folder and check "Disable visual themes" and "Disable desktop composition."

Essential improvements
Patches
Unofficial Patch
The fan-made Unofficial Patch removes many bugs and adds multiple features like widescreen support. It can be downloaded here.
The Unofficial Patch is available in two flavors: Basic and Plus. The Basic version consists of bugfixes that do not dramatically alter Troika's vision for the game. The Plus version makes more significant changes including the reintroduction of cut content and numerous other improvements that go above and beyond what the developers may have intended.
Note: Due to its regular update schedule, not all versions of the Unofficial Patch will be compatible with all mods.
True Patch
An alternate to the "Unofficial patch" the "true patch" is a purist patch, meaning that it only makes bugfixes and tries to preserve an experience as close as possible to the original game. It can be downloaded here. LINK IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK
