Horus StyleXP was developed with reverse engineering and although it's effects are only temporaraly it's still a "hack" and hacks are illegal to sell. The boot and login screen alteration you mentioned is very much illegal, although it's not illegal to use/make the software it's illegal to distribute logon and boot screens as they are hacked files, thus breaking the EULA, that's why Wincustomize does not offer hacked files on their site and that's why Microsoft supports Stardock as a way to skin windows rather than TGT Soft.
The UX theme patch is hovever is a permanent hack and is distrobuted freely. You can easily get back the correct version of that file if you are going to install a new service pack for Windows still illegal but it's at least less crime to make as it's not made to profit of other people's work like TGT soft do.
