Okay, so I'm trying a few new XP themes and it is showing me the custom theme of the taskbar/start menu...but they're staying the windows default! How do I quick-fix this?
there's only about 3 different ones really, just go to control panel > display > themes. that's all there is in terms of xp themes without downloading software.
Do you have a patched shell32 file, or maybe Styler Toolbar? Because, anything that's non-Microsoft based (meaning custom) will need either of those to work properly.
