Last week a friend of mine had a laptop pretty much (literally) fall into his hands; the techs were too incompetent to fix it and were going to toss it. Long story short I fixed it without having to yank any hardware out. In setting it up I used it as a guinea pig and found some bugs I’d previously missed.
First problem was the UXTheme wasn’t only applying half the theme, would change everything but the window colors and buttons. This ultimately led to finding a new solution with a different app – UXTender. If you had problems with the theme not applying correctly, download one of the updated themes and that program should resolve the problem.
The start menu images either worked perfect, or the images got stretched incorrectly. I was able to re-create the situation half the time, rather than pulling my hair out just wrote it off as a hidden Windows “feature”. I fixed that problem with the second theme I put up, and now went back to fix the original and add a new theme as well. Here’s everything I’ve got so far:
Fixed Twintails Shana Sitting
This is the fixed version of the original theme, unless you cram like 10+ programs into the left menu it should work smoothly now. You can download the fixed one here.
Twintails Shana With Mathilde
While scrolling through my Shana images looking for materials I came across a nice image of Mathilde, the flame haze previously contracted to Alastor before she died. Interesting how both Mathilde and Shana chose the same jinki for Alastor. You can download the alternate Mathilde version here.
Crimson Kimono Shana With Flames
This was the second theme I posted and is unchanged, just added the new theme patcher file. You can download it from here.
Original Long Menu
The original (first) theme I posted with the extra tall menu. For many people it worked fine, others had problems with the images not sizing correctly. For it to work correctly you’ll need to have 10 programs in the left portion of the menu. Make sure to have all 10 programs in place before applying the theme, adding them afterwards was a 50-50 chance that the images would scale correctly or not. You can download it from here.
If you’d like to get a different/custom made theme (with regards to the menu images) leave a comment here or message me on the MAL forums.
