    Themes that I download or that already show as "installed" can't be applied.


    I am trying to get some new backgrounds for my pc. When I go to Themes, then click on MS store, I select a background, download it and click on Apply. For some reason, they don't show-up in my themes. That's also true of themes that have "installed" below them. I click on them, the Apply window opens, click on Apply, no theme in my theme file.

    Any idea why this is happening?

    Windows 10, Theme not showing up in list of themes installed

    Hi,

    I've recently downloaded a Windows Theme from the Microsoft Store but it won't show up in the customization settings. Prior to this I downloaded other themes that show up correctly and I can set them as active.

    The exact theme I wanted to use was named "Glorious Blue". I downloaded it and in the store it shows that it is installed and I only need to Apply it. However, the "Apply" button takes me to the settings menu where I can't find the mentioned theme among
    the other downloaded themes. Also in the store it shows me that this theme is installed, so I can neither download it again nor delete it.

    I tried to look up the theme in the folder where Windows stores all my other themes (C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes) but it is definitely not there.

    I searched for solutions in other threads and found one that suggested to apply this command to the Run dialog box:

    "%localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets"

    Then copy the results and rename them with the "Ren *.* * .jpg" command.

    Unfortunately, this didn't work. Firstly, the Ren command no longer worked in PowerShell, so I needed to rename each file one by one. Secondly, when I was done the pictures I got were absolutely not the ones the theme should be using.

    Some details about my system: I am using Windows 10 Home, version 1709 build 16299.904 all available updates installed.

    Thank you for your advices and suggestions in advance.

    Best regards,

    SoullessWheat

    WindowsStore downloaded & installed theme not showing in Personalization-Themes

    I downloaded & installed a theme from Windows Store then rebooted my pc. When I go to Personalization-Themes to set the theme as a slideshow for my background, it's not in the list of themes. The only place it shows up is as the Lock Screen background.
    Nowhere else. Not in my Start Menu, Personalization-Background, etc. Can anyone help me with how to set this? Much appreciated.

    EMUI

    Here's the steps to update EMUI 4.1.1 to 5.0 :
    • Download the EMUI 5.0(desired version) .zip file, and unzip it.
    • Place the .hwt file in the HWThemes folder from your phone.
    • Using the Themes app, apply the new theme.
    • Restart the phone, in order to see all the new changes.
    And you’re done!
