White color sometimes?

**MatG-DK** · November 10th, 2015 04:07 PM

Hi there, i could use some help with a strange problem i have sometimes.

I use Mr. Grims Poison for Win 8.1, OldNewExplorer, Aeroglass (donated version) and Aero Glass Configurator 3.0

For an example, if i open taskmanager i like to see the window is black, like in first attachment.
But sometimes its all white, second attachment.

If i go change my theme to Mr. Grims Toxic for Win 8.1 it is black, third attachment.
If i change back to the exact same Poison theme where i have changed cursors, wallpapers ect. the window in Taskmanager is white again.
If i choose the standard Poison theme (with no changes like cursors, wallpapers etc.) the color in Taskamanager is Black, just as i like it.
But after some time, the color will suddenly change to white again and i can't tell what triggers the color change??

Has anybody else this issue and is there a fix that would help more than a few restarts?

Thx in advance

(did my best to explain, but feel free to ask if me to elaborate)

Information

Getting rid of white areas in themes after coming out of lock or sleep in Windows 8.1

Windows 8 loads defaults from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\DefaultColors] after every lock/sleep/hibernate.
Make a backup of that key, take ownership of it, and then delete that whole key (defualtcolors).
Then you wont have a problem.

Don't worry, it works on Windows 10 too

It would appear so. It also effects regions of other programs like SiB, making them display incorrectly as well. An easy solution is to log out and back in and program's appearances go back to normal.

This only happens for me when I'm using Uxstyle,and not when I use a file based theme patcher
so I always just thought Uxstyle was not staying in the memory properly

I would add I still feel Uxstyle is a safer way to patch your system even with the odd bug
it is better than having an update black screen your system as can happen with other
theme patchers

I've had the same problem since Win 7 with all 3rd party themes. I have to turn off sleep altogether and never signout, just turn off or restart the PC. I've always had laptops too. Do you have this problem on a laptop as well ?
