BoardBabe Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) "After customizing and applying a desktop theme, you may notice that the menu bar in various applications is surrounded by white space, as shown in the picture below. This happens due to an incorrect UserPreferencesMask registry value."For some reason when applying the custom theme the registry value UserPreferencesMask"=hex:9e,3e,07,80" @ [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] changes to UserPreferencesMask"=hex:9e,3e,05,80", causing the problem. The problem can be resolved by changing the registry value back manually or with a .reg file, however can this registry change somehow be added/prevented to/from within the .theme file itself (so I will not have to run a .reg file every time I change themes)?

BoardBabe Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 @Shoshoni: I don't see how this covers my topic, read my question again please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoshoni Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Sorry, I didn't read your post that carefully. Have you tried to open the .theme file with Notepad? There's a section that covers the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] key. Add or change the value if needed.Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I've seen that on numerous occasions and often just changing the theme or it's style/color will fix it. If you do find a fix please do share it with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
