Insider 20175.1000 hotfix

SetSysColors is now delayed import

Add ThemeTool

• ThemeTool is a combined standalone theme signature fixer and applier
• Provided as a separate download too, however only works when (any) theme patcher is installed

v1.3

• removed dependency on VS 2019 redist by static linking
• added drag & drop for installer
• removed explorer.exe optional hook - using it causes high memory usage due to the debugging feature we load with. just stick to hooked explorer on Win8.1

note that Defender used to flag this until I submitted it to Microsoft, so if you have problems with it, update your virus definitions

Remove DWM hook

v1.2a

remove dwm hook, closes #2

Added LogonUI fix

No more buggy dark theme after locking screen. Probably first patcher to feature this.
