problems with taskbar...

from WinCustomize Forums
I just download and loaded the moonlight theme and it looks fantastic: but I can't see the taskbar... I've been looking for it for over an hour now, so I'm getting frustrated, any ideas as to what I can do to fix this?

thanks in advance

That DX theme is designed to replace the Windows taskbar.

but on the screenshot that came with the file, there is a taskbar (https://www.wincustomize.com/zoom.aspx?skinid=3596&libid=31)

That is not a windows Taskbar, it's a DX one.

What resolution are you running at?

1240x800... so, how do I get that taskbar to show if it's a DX taskbar?

edit: ok, I changed my resolution to 1240x1024 and now I can see the taskbar: but there is a problem: not everything of the screen is showing... I can actually scroll through my desktop, so that isn't an option either. So how do I alter this theme to 1240x800 so that I can run it on my laptop while still being able to see both the taskbar and that top bar?

switch to builder mode - modify to fit

ok, I've done that and it works fantastic, thanks for the help

however, now that I can see the start button, something else caught my attention: everything but the desktop is still the same windows style! all the windows, the start menu is still in windows xp silver theme. Is this because the moonlight theme isn't designed to alter those things or because I have done something wrong (again)?

You need to use WindowBlinds to skin the windows.  DesktopX doesn't do that.
