Hello everyone, I have an annoying problem that is happening with most Visual styles I try to use. Inside of the red box pic below:

And in case any of you are wondering, I do have my theme files patched with Universal Theme Patcher, as well as Theme Resource Changer active. These strange cutoffs happen to nearly all Visual style I use. However, some cutoff more, while others less. Any ideas to fix this strange phenomenon?

I think the theme was just trying to commit suicide because it is so ugly.

Seriously though, uninstall the Theme Resource Changer and stick with Universal Theme Patcher. I do not even know what that first one is.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Anyways, This "Tearing" happens on most third party themes I use. Themes Resource Changer allows things like start menu button, exit, minimize, maximize etc button mods to be active, in quite a few themes, or at least the ones I try to use, it is required.

I did however humor you and uninstall the Resource changer and my start menu button is now default like I previously said would happen so I reinstalled it.

Here is another example of Tearing:

I have always had this problem, and I do not know why or how to fix it.

Most of your themes seem to be made by the same person (or have a very similar style, so maybe ripped off by someone else). Try picking one of the highest rated ones on devientart and see if it has the same problem. I can almost guarantee that it won't.

Here is two that were made by Mr-Blade. They are copywrite by him, which makes them original pieces, yet they don't work either. All of my themes are from Deviant Art...

Strangely though, this one here by Designfjotten works.

Have you removed the "Search" bar that's part of the Windows Start Menu? I know when I was making a theme I encountered a problem in the same area where the Start menu options didn't line up correctly because I had removed the "Search" bar below the "All Programs" option. I had to correctly align the menu so that it would look right with or without the "Search" bar.

Here's a link to mine by the way. http://browse.deviantart.com/art/Plinky-Windows-Clean-357592830

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
