Issue with uxstyle theme not skinning start menu/taskbar correctly
Hey all. From doing a bit of digging it seems to be a re-occurring theme but I created an account to ask for some help!
So i've just bought a new alienware m17x laptop and wanted to apply the Concave 7 theme to my copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. From what I've read the theme is an unsigned third party theme so the system needs to be patched to apply it properly.
I downloaded the Concave 7 theme and copied the files to the Theme folder, went into personalize and when I selected the theme it changes the colours of everything but switches to the windows classic task bar/start menu in black, I've attached an example picture of someone else having the same problem. I've also attached an example of how the Concave 7 theme should look.
I've tried getting it to work with both Theme Patcher which didn't work so I restored the original system files and now I've got uxstyle installed. It all installed fine and I've got the UnsignedThemes service running (picture attached). I've tried the two sc config commands and also restarting the UnsignedThemes and the Desktop window manager services and still the theme reverts to the windows classic when I try to run it.
Sorry to post asking for help but I've been trawling the net for 2 days now and have found lots of solutions but none have worked.
Any input would be appreciated. Cheers guys!
