How do I install third party themes in Windows 8.1?

I am running on Windows 8.1. I tried to patch the system files using Universal Theme Patcher, that didn't work. I tried UxStyle, neither that worked nor did UltraUXTheme patcher.

Is there some other reliable method?

Have you tried UXTheme Multi Patcher 9.0 ? Not all UX theme patchers work the same, so this version may work for you. After applying the patch, install the third party themes the same way as before. This is done by extracting the theme, placing the folder and/or files into the "Windows/Resources/Themes" folder, and then double-click the theme to install it.
