free diamond theme borked

from Stardock Forums

Hi, I just installed the free diamond theme in my desktop, and the start bar as well as explorer window panels look all garbled, as if there was data corruption.  Can anyone tell me what to do to correct this?  Maybe it's a driver setting, or adjusting something in the display option?

 

thanks

It is currently borked from all places it can be downloaded, seems every time there is an update made to it it breaks and just applies the encrypted images.

Oh, ok.  I thought it had something to do with me using windows xp, since that theme uses transparent windows.

Maybe support could link you up to a more agreeable previous version? https://esupport.stardock.com/index.php?_m=tickets&_a=submit

I did one of my horrible wordy posts on which versions I was having luck with in reply #17 here in case it's useful: https://forums.wincustomize.com/327796

I just downloaded this one "for free" from Impulse and am also seeing quite a bit of garbling.  The entire Windows task bar at the bottom of the my screen is a mish-mash of colors - looks a bit like rainbow static.  All the minimize/maximize/restore buttons on the upper-right of all windows are also garbled this way.

Darn shame - looks like this could be a nice skin.

Maybe its related to the drivers.  Do you have the latest drivers for your vid card?  I have an older geforce 6200, which i dont update its drivers too often.

Just Installed Diamond and all works perfectly well, Try changing screen resolution abck and forward or checking drivers, running hd4870 with 9.2 catalyst drivers on Vista 32bit

the Diamond MyColors theme does not load the skin properly, ie task bar, start menu and buttons all come up as multi-colored blocks. Now this is under XP, I have recenty tried the free and registered version, neither loads the skin properly..

Using Vista - No problem..

Seeing that this thread is rather old - one would figure that the issues here would of been addressed or the theme removed.. Since it is also a free theme maybe that is why is has not been corrected or addressed..

But if someone chooses to download that theme first and test it, that may likely be the last download they do..

As it does appear to miss up your computer and turn your whole task bar, menu buttons, start menu into one big fuzzy mess..

It is time to either remove the theme or fix it.. What do you think??
