White Box Mystery

[XKnoppix]

Can someone tell me why all my programs (i.e MSN Messenger, mIRC, FlashFXP) have these ugly white box's around the item in the toolbar (i.e File, Edit, View, Help)?!?!? They cannot be found on IE or Windows Explorer so i have no clue where they are coming from. It could be this line in my winnt.sif:

[Shell]
   CustomDefaultThemeFile="%systemroot%\Resources\Themes\Longhorn.theme"

Because someone told me that is was because my theme was doing it, and they are semi-right becuase if i re-apply the default Windows XP Theme they go away?!? But if this is true does that mean i can't install a custom theme on my Unattended CD? If anyone can shed some light on this i would appreciate it...

Thanks

Load the theme you wish to use, then go into the following options - Display->Appearance->Advanced->Select normal/selected in taskbar and change to similar to the rest of the toolbar, then save the theme as what it was when you loaded it - this was basically what I'd mentioned when I replied to another topic similar to this one.

Thanks. all I had to do was change it from white to black and back to white, then I clicked apply.
