Windows Start Menu Problem

Windows XP

from Stardock Forums

Hello:

 

I am trying to use the mycolours software.  Everything seems to work properly, with one exception.  It applies the theme to everything except the Start Menu taskbar along the bottom.  Does anyone know what may be causing this to happen, or what I can modify?

 

Thanks so much!

Brenda

I would suspect WB is doing this. Please go to the system info tab and use copy text button. Paste info here. Also when you installed My Colors did you restart as Zubaz has mentioned?
You may have to uninstall and reinstall My Colors. Not the themes - but only the program. Then reapply the theme again with My Colors.
If you have not updated your WB - you will need to do this also. But first please post your info here and let us see why this may be happening.

There's your problem. You need to activate your Windowblinds through SDC/Impulse using the serial you received from Stardock.

every once i a while mine does that as well, but what i do, is just restart mycolors, and just re apply the theme for a second time, and that usually does the trick, but it doenst do it to all the themes just a few here and there, other than that i have no complaints, other than my addiction to mycolors themes, is there a re-hab for this, addiction to MyColors LOL
