To all experienced themers out there, I'm having trouble in applying customs themes on my machine (any themes for 8.1.1; armoured, zero-g, HUD, by design. etc.).
Everytime i apply a theme, nothing changes on my UI (only cursors, theme icons, folder/settings background color (usually becomes gray of black when i apply a certain theme) will change, the rest remains unchanged. I've attached an image of my desktop using Armoured theme 8.1.1 below:


As you can see on the personalization window, background is dark gray which is usually the same for other themes when they are not fully applied, also overall window UI of like my folder remains unchanged.

My Settings:

All requirements: installed as Administrator
Native Desktop Resolution: 1366x768 (laptop)
OS: Windows 8.1.1 updated
GPU/display Drivers: updated
Custom Theme Enabler: UltraUXTheme 2.3 which works mostly for everyone except ME (2.4 does not also work), Uxstyle (have worked when I'm on 8.0 but gives me blackscreen afterwards as I was unaware of the issue, so no go for now)
Other apps: OldnewExplorer 1.1, Aero 1.2.5, Classic Shell 4

If anyone knows how to fix this or have an idea of what I may have overlooked, that will be much appreciated.
