Hey guys so I recently got Windows 8 Pro and I love it but I got a problem
When I set themes my parts of my metro UI disappear and I have to restart the computer to make it go back to normal
I thought this was a bug in Windows 8 at first as the same thing happened to me when I was using the consumers preview and the release preview but I found out today that it's just my computer as my friend has Windows 8 pro and can set themes without a problem
Here are some screenshots of before and after I apply a different theme
Before:
After:
As you can see my side bar loses 2 buttons and the metro bar on the side almost goes completely invisible apart from the top part
I also notice other things disappear like the design on my start menu (Background pattern)
Hey the first theme before change was one I downloaded from the Windows Website and was also one I used on Windows 7 however I have tried the same thing using only Windows 8 themes and the same thing happens
the second theme is the standard default theme for Windows 8
I will have a look for a updated version of my graphics driver

Ok. The themes from Windows Website are safe. This seems not to be theme-related but something to do with graphics.
Try the latest driver for your chipset and see if it helps.
