    Themes aren't working?


    So someone in my family just got a new computer, and all of the installed themes change the window borders/task bar, but mine doesn't. If I click on any theme other than and Aero theme then it reverts to the classic window border/task bar. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    EDIT: I don't think I was completely clear, it will work on any premade Aero theme, but the "Installed Themes" don't work. The Aero troubleshooter says that the Desktop window manager is not running.

    Welcome to the Seven Forums
    When you say "Installed Themes" are these third party custom themes?
    If so you will need to do 1 of these 2 ways of Enabling custom themes for it to work.
