Taskbar went to Windows 95 visual after applying theme!

Help!

After applying a MyColors theme, the taskbar returns to Win95 visual theme but my wallpaper changed.

Also, I only have WindowBlinds, MyColors, ObjectDock and IconPackager installed in my computer.

Will that work?

Please help me. 

 

Now it also can't change it to any other visual style.

MyColors doesn't require any additional software to work. Windowblinds and Iconpackager will do some of the same things as a MyColors theme. Object Dock is a completely separate program from the other 3 and does something none of them will do.

Did you try rebooting after applying the MyColors theme? Sometimes that will "fix" what you describe.

Ermm... It didn't work.

My UXTheme went back to normal, but the MyColors still can't apply it.

You have a patched uxtheme.dll? That's your problem. Windowblinds/MyColors are not dll hacks. They will continue to work even after Microsoft releases updates.

Yeah, I did patch it.

But my WindowBlinds still work, only my MyColor doesn't.

which MyColors are you trying to use?

is Windowblinds the trial version or full version?

open Windowblinds config choose the Sytem Info tab, click the Copy Text button and paste that into a response here.

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.1 (build 55 x86)

 

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC 

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

 

This is because : 

 

Your computer graphics hardware does not support acceleration of per pixel alpha.  WindowBlinds requires this for per pixel alphablended borders as without it performance would be poor.  Please see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware.  Recent ATI & NVIDIA boards should support this feature.  Onboard graphics tend not to.

 

It appears you have enabled limited per pixel mode, so WindowBlinds will support per pixel, but with no hardware support.

Yeah, I am kinda new one.

It is an old version, so when I update it means I can use MyColors?

Koki1337 can you PM me the email address that your purchases are under? I can try to help from there.

If I can chime in here, I have the same problem.  I have DesktopX, WindowBlinds Pro,IconPackager4, Deskscape, Vista Logon Studio,  My Colors, Skin Studio and Object Dock Pro installed.  All are the latest releases.  I just bought Winter Wonderland Today and get the same problem.  I go to apply it and I get the Win 95 classic menu look along with the start menu and window frames etc.  It does not work to reapply the vista aero look via My Colors, you have to go to the personalization dialog in Vista and change it back.

 

Kind of a bummer not to be able to use holiday theme I just bought when holidays will be over in a few weeks.

Unless you're also running a cracked version of WB your problem will be diffierent.

 

Might be better to start a new post listing:

 

which version of vista

which graphics/drivers

WB's system info
