Theme Resource Changer not working

[decibelle]

After installing UxStyle, I installed the 64-bit version of The Theme Resource Changer. When I changed to the sample theme that they provide (Black aero), I got the black theme, but it wasn't using the graphics in the extra folders (explorer.exe, etc.), which is the whole point of the thing. Can someone please help me figure out how to get it to work?

Thanks,
Ellen

Try uninstalling it then reboot and reinstall it reboot.

Post screenshot of inside theme folder.

Reinstalling didn't help.

Where exactly inside theme folder do you want a screenshot?

 

[Bongo]

A shot of the inside of the theme folder and the 3 folders with arrows pointing at them.

I have to say that I hate that black theme (and all black themes), and it hurts my eyes to look at it. Do you need the screenshots to be with the black aero theme, or can I use my current theme?

It's more about the contents of the folder he's looking for, you can use any theme you want.

Yes use any theme. Post Screenshot of the inside of the theme you are trying to change.

Is this what you mean?

 

[Bongo]

Yes, but is that the theme you are trying to use or are you trying a other theme other then that black theme?

It looks like your theme is classic theme is it?

[decibelle]

I'm at this particular moment using the classic theme, yes, but what I'm saying is that when I choose the black Aero theme in Personalization, it does indeed use the system's Aero theme in black, but without the special graphics in the three additional folders.

One thing occurred to me: could it have anything to do with some kind of incompatibility with UxStyle? Should I have installed Universal Theme Patcher instead?

 

[Bongo]

It worth a try, uninstall UxStyle, reboot then try Universal Theme Patcher.

I uninstalled UxStyle, restarted and installed the Universal Theme Patcher, restarted again, uninstalled Theme Resource Changer, restarted yet again. It seems to be partly working, and actually now I think it was partly working before as well. The images in Shell32.dll seem to be being used, although I don't know what 634 and 635 are supposed to be. But the images in explorer.exe and the button icons in explorerframe.dll are not showing up.

 

[Bongo]

635 is the top of Control Panel.

I get all 3 that work. I am out of ideas.
