    Theme Colors in Explorer/Start Menu


    So, I'm trying to install a theme (charleston2378's deviantART gallery) for my computer, and I think I'm mostly there. I've replaced all of the .dll files and applied the theme in the Personalization window. The only thing left is my Explorer and my Start Menu. It's supposed to look like the first, dark image, but instead it's still the second, lighter one. I don't know what to try to get the colors to look right and match the theme. If anyone can give me some suggestions or anything it would be much appreciated.

    That is my favorite theme I am using it now. Something must've went wrong with the installation.
