Hello there! I recently built a new PC (Specs: Sankta Ilfana - Profiel - Tweakers ) should they be of any use to anyone. I am running Windows 8.1, legal install, fully patched. I installed the following theme:

Sub Zero Sapphire Windows 8.1.1 Theme by following these steps:

How to install and setup your customization applications on Windows 8.1.1

I downloaded the theme and installed it in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Sub Zero Sapphire and ran the .theme file. However, this didn't work as intended: The theme was supposed to end up looking like this:

however, I ended up with this:

Also, when I have black glass enabled, the application background stays white, causing graphic bugs (almost unreadable text). What am I doing wrong here?

Looks to me that you do not have the UXTheme patcher installed, this allows you to use 3rd party themes in Windows so they display correctly.

When Installing third party themes there is a specific order that must be followed, go back and make sure you followed everything correctly, you probably skipped over something.

I have the theme installed on my machine and it works fine.
