Reply to Why does Desktop X not skin everything? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Alright, you guys are confusing me more. I am talking about a theme made for Desktop X. It's called Q's simple vista DX. Here is the link. https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinID=3573&LibID=31 Please look at that. There is wallpaper, the taskbar is skinned and there are widgets. Not everything comes in the file, like the widgets. I have applied this theme before. I know it themes the taskbar. So, that is what you're desktop looks like, but then everything else is in XP. M

OK, so basically what I'm saying is how can you use something like Q's Simple Vista DX with window blinds? That is an excellent theme, but it only themes the taskbar, start menu and background. Has some widgets with it. Maybe it doesn't theme the start menu, I can't remember. But what you end up with is a killer looking desktop, but everything else is XP.

Because WindowBlinds also themes the taskbar, startmenu and all that, so how can you use both of them at once?

wtf is wrong with these forums!!! I just replied to one of my threads that says "why" because I typed why, pressed the space bar and it submitted on it's own. So, I typed another one, which it let me finish and posted it, but that one was not showing up in the forums, so I replied to the why one with the same message as I stated above and it replied to the message that originally didn't show up. It posted to the one that I was not even in or replying too!!! Retardation!!! Anyway, en

Hmm, I'm not seeing the message I actually typed, so I'll just type it in here. Stupid. Seems the forums need some fixin. I was wondering why Desktop X doesn't theme the way WindowBlinds does. Desktop X themes the taskbar, the start menu and background, sometimes, media player and some widgets. But my documents, my computer, IE and all that doesn't get themed, so you end up having a clashing effect. Since, the theme is something, but you're in IE or my documents and those look like XP. So

OK, can't delete this one. I typed Why, pressed the space bar and it submitted. Whatever. Just ignore this post. It's the other one.

Why does desktop X not skin everything like the my document, my computer and all that like Window Blinds does. It only skins the taskbar, the start menu, the log off/shut down box and sometimes the media players. Usually, there's wallpaper in there too. Sometimes, these don't even skin the start menu. It'll be just the taskbar, wallpaper and some widgets in there. So, it's pretty damn clashing when you got this theme going on, but you're in Internet Explorer

Jonep, this is the only way I can talk to you. Your BlackanBlue suite will not let me leave a reply. I don't have a wallpaper and don't see how you change colors on it. Wouldn't you have to make a zip file for that? It's a wb file. It skins the taskbar and all that fine, but nothing else. No wallpaper, icons, shut down bar. Help.

Wow none of you guys addressed the original question at all. I have also experienced this problem and am looking for a solution or am wanting to notify Stardock of this issue. The only way I found to get around it was to uninstall window blinds, reboot, then right click the desktop and use Windows themes to re-apply the XP theme.
