Sorry, I downloaded your red fusion theme and I still don't see.

Sorry, I downloaded your red fusion theme and I still don't see.

In the Red Fusion theme folder there is a folder called Red Fusion theme. Open that folder, and copy the folder and the themepack file to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

OK, that worked. Thanks.

I used UxStyle Core x64 to change my progress bars from green to blue.

Do I still need to use the Universal UXTheme Patcher?

Next thing to do is to find the folder and the theme file from the 'Theme' folder in the theme download. Place those two in the Themes folder in Windows (C:\Windows\Resources\Themes) and apply the theme in the personalization menu
