  1. Taskbar doesn't change when i try themes


    I just downloaded a Windows XP Style theme for my Windows 8.1 computer. The taskbar was suppose to change it's texture but instead it just shows a different color. I tried installing a theme patch like UltraUXThemePatcher, i rebooted and the theme still doesn't change the taskbar. Is there any way i could fix this?

    :)

  2. Error 404 Win User

    Name of program to change taskbars?

    uxtheme.dll? I know you can use that to change themes, so it should allow you to change the taskbar theme, if thats what you want.

  3. Win-10 themes keep changing

    Hi,

    Thank you for providing the information.

    • Did you try the steps suggested by Suvarna Govinda above, what was the result?
    As I understand the issue, Themes in Windows doesn't have the options to change on its own. Only the Wallpapers in the themes can change as selected ( Picture, Solid color and Slide Show ).

    I would suggest you to make us understand that if the Wallpapers are changing in Theme which you have selected.

    Below are the steps you can check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + I keys and select Personalization.
    • Select Theme and select the Default theme.
    • Select the Desktop Background below and select the Picture
      and save it and check.
    Please post us back if the issue resolves. We are glad to help you.

    Taskbar doesn't change when i try themes

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:
