Theme Grief

**Smokes** · January 17th, 2017 08:31 PM

Hello
I have tried a few brilliant themes and finding some do not apply right. some panels and areas remain white I was going to try and upload a screenshot but do not want to make the same mistake when I uploaded one last time, It came out huge! when it was uploaded I had no idea how to sort it.

I have installed UniversalThemePatcher_20090409 on Win7 Pro x64 SP1 the Themes I have tried are Dark Ultimate and Blade. There are a lot I would love but getting frustrated why I cant apply them there are white areas on explorer panel at left hand side. When I right click on computer > Properties there is a big white area again to the left. What am I doing wrong? There is one that did work well its called Midnight Theme, Its brilliant Thanks to Mr Grim :-)

Thanks
Smokes

You need to install Theme Resource Changer to properly apply a theme from VC for Windows 7

Is your DPI at 100%? All you should have to do is install the program. The themes are set up already to run with it

Hmmm.I have seen this before,but i cant seem to quite remember what the fix was.Im pretty sure it was something really simple.argg.Did you patch all 3 files and then install theme resource changer? also,did you change anything in control panel/system and security/system/advanced system settings/performance? try checking (Let windows chose whats best for my computer) and see if that helps.I know i have ran into this before.I might try to replicate it and see if i can get the same thing as your getting.If i can,i will come back with a solution.
