Theme issue with task bar, start menu Forced to Classic Theme, Help.

[YumiiUnami]

Okay I have messaged Mr Grim, and Mr V about this, they must be preety busy, cause I am not getting a response, for several hours now. I didn't want this to go in public, cause I felt more comfortable with a simple PM. I will now copy pasta what I have said to them and edit it, because their is no point in changing it.

Anyway, here.

I have a big problem, probably nothing out of the ordinary, but still it wont go away, I don't usually speak out to crowds or talk in forums, but I needed help and so, I tried out this forum..

Anyway, My problem is, in the past I have successfully installed a custom theme, with the use of UniversalThemePatcherx86, with the whole patching, rebooting yada yada, process and did it with no problems. Now a year later, my themes that I had currently installed before, well they just basically been screwed up, I didn't mess with the files either, but what happens is, when I try to load it, I get the BG (Back Ground) custom sounds, but... No, custom task bar, start menu, start orb, etc (And yes I do have a start orb Changer..) It just shows a classic Windows look every time I try, their is no Aero Transparency what so ever... I have been up all night trying to solve this Issue, with multiple patching programs like UXTheme-MultiPatch, VistaGlazz, All with no luck, even the Universal dumb thing doesn't seem to work anymore either... Oh, and I have been to the old site, failed registering their, cause it wouldn't work,(Which means i couldnt see the pics posted, get the download, etc, but I have the program now, but still stuck..) and was following this tutorial (EDIT: Removed link since it wont allow me to post it sorry) Ignore that. ---> (I know this is very old.. but I have tried everything else... x-x)




Okay so... um, I'd very much appreciate it if you guys/an admin helped me with this problem.. cause its very frustrating.. message back when/if you can, when you get this, thanks for your time

To me it sounds like maybe an update might have unpatched your system I would recommend trying to repatch your system using unversal theme patcher to start off with and see if that works. You can find the the patcher on the front page of the forum in windows customization apps section. Make sure you use the correct version for your system X64 for 64bit OS and X86 for 32 bit OS

Edit - The reason i say to use univerisal is their are known issue with uxstyle core patcher not working if you have windows service pack one installed

I must of repatched, unpatched like 30 times already, along with sfc/scnanow command, again with no luck, along the days I have been waiting for you and Mr Grim's reply, I have been constantly trying out new solutions to try to fix my problem.. all has ended in failure, Mr Grim, has told me he could help me in teamviewer but that was hours ago, he hasnt messaged me back ever since, and I know PM's may be a bother to you guys, I'm sorry, I'm just not use to forums and not much of a talker either.. x-x

Did you use the universal theme patcher in your attempts? and have you check to see if your dpi setting is set to 100% - controlpanel/display/set custom text size

Um, would it be different for a different windows, maybe I should list my specs, cause
