This is colony DESKTOP X on win7. I did think about trying to convert it to winstep for my future planned win 11 laptop. But redneckdude said it will work on win11 so I'll try it first.

Thanks for everyone's input. RedneckDude thanks for your offer. RedneckDude you recently replied to a post where I asked if DesktopX works on Win 11.

I don't want to use a theme just my own images. Sorry I don't know how to insert pics in post.

Below is a picture of my desktop it is a modded "Colony" by Chad L Ross (Chadamus). The problem I'm having is getting the icons shown in box A to sit central in the taskbar like the icon B. I think it has some think to do with the taskbartemp image positioning which I guess is in the script but i don't know how to find it or even if I'm right. Hope somone can help. Thanks Ps.

Okay I tried My Documents" folder and it worked. Thank you. But It makes me wonder when I save it to C:\Programs Files....etc which I have been doing many times while editing the theme. I get a confirmation message saying it has been saved and I have switched between different themes
If you put the mouse over the pic and click it will magnify it. Re Option 1 - Tried this and opens up "save as window" same as in centre of my pic.

Hi DaveRI - In Windows 7 this area is not supported and so there is no display. But if I Right-Click on desktop I get a menu with that option. See this Pic Strange thing is that as you can see in the window that is open which is where the save was made to it is not there. It was named Aceuk-Colony-H2so4. I also tried saving it elsewhere and again it did not show. Any Ideas
I'm running windows 7 and so it doesn't have a systray. Is there another way.
