Think Green theme windows sizing problem

from Stardock Forums

There is a problem with the Think Green theme I have been unable to resolve.  It appears to reserve a section of the screen so that I cannot stretch open windows to full screen.  The full button works to go full screen but when I try to stretch the windows manually, they will only open to within a couple of inches of the bottom of the screen.  The Qwest theme doesn't have this problem, neither does the standard aero theme.  Before I purchase any themes I'd like to figure out what is happening to prevent it occuring with a different theme.

My system is Vista Ultimate 64 bit and I also run with OD+ 2.x.   

I understand MyColors is essentially obsolete but I like the "all in one" aspect of it versus WindowBlinds and separate incon packages.

Does it happen if Object Dock hasn't been loaded?  Try setting OD not to load at startup, reboot, load Think Green.

Yes, regardless of whether OD+ is loaded at boot time, Think Green leaves that area of the screen blank.

I've used that theme on both Vista and Windows7 64 bit Ultimate versions  while using OD 1.9 and 2.0 and never had that issue. Could you have a corrupted skin file? Have you tried uninstalling the theme and reinstalling it?

I like the "all in one" aspect of it versus WindowBlinds and separate icon packages.

ODNT comes with Theme Manager, which can apply a wall, IP, WB, and more, including complete suites and MyColors Themes. Philly0381 has put some great suites together or you can assemble your own.

Performance can spotty at times as imho it needs updating but the potential is there for "one click" theming with far more options than MC.

I deleted and reinstalled the Think Green theme but it still acts the same.  I love Stardock software but it often has the most annoying bugs.  What in a theme, if anything, controls how windows may be stretched?  Is there a key combo that when held disables that function?

I like theme Think Green, it looks relaxing and nice. I have used it for a long time since I had my own laptop :D

I like a picture at the center of destop and the black color around....It looks good :)

I'm experiencing the same things.  Not every application though.  IT browser is okay, but I am experiencing the issue in Outlook 2010 on Windows 7.
