Cosmos Theme Task Bar and Start Menu graphics corrupt (Note: This happens in more than one MyColors Theme.)

The task barand start menu are corrupt

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

I just downloaded and installed the cosmos theme and the task bar is corrupt. Should I attempt a reinstall? Also, as a FYI, in Impulse, it does not show under my themes as the cosmos theme is not listed on the registration page. The corrupt graphics affect the start menu as well. It's nearly unusable. Is there a way to redownload a theme once it has been downloaded? I've seen this with the quest theme as well. I was able, using the Theme Manager, to reinstate my previous theme. I've also noticed that the previous themes were in a subdirectory of SDC. Should I keep SDC installed or should I put those files in a different directory for OD2008? I've seen this in multiple themes in MyColors such as Cosmos, Quest, University of Michican. Also, this happens if you try to apply the suite from the standard Theme Manager as well. I thought I'd give that a shot. The Theme Manager is ok as I "am" able to reapply the MacOS X theme I use.

 

Thanks!

Well I was able to solve my own problem. It turns out that WindowBlinds wanted to use a specific taskbar and start menu no matter what I tried to apply with either the ThemeManager or MyColors. Once I figured that out, I was able to fix things! Now it rocks again!
