When you say theme,do you mean a MyColors theme or a WindowBlind? Which one did you install?(a link to it would help) What version of MC or WB do you have?

Windows blind https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=5758&libid=1

I believe it has to be one of my settings because it happened with others aswell.

From your other post I know you are on XP,I just loaded it into Vista Ultimate 32 bit and the command bar dropdowns look ok. Maybe someone with XP can try it also.

Open WB configuration and go to the  system info tab(old interface) or About WindowBlinds(new)  and copy what's there and post it here.

The version of WB is not all that old but it is Shareware, or the free version, which is only supposed to be good for 30 days, if I'm not mistaken.  If 30 days are up, that is probably the problem.

Only got it yesterday.  Was thinking of buying, but worried it was my computer that was to fault.  Do you think the problem will go away if i buy?

Where did you get it from, the Stardock site or another site?

No, I think Stardock will be around for awhile.

Out of interest which site did you download the 6.3 trial from?

The links should have been updated to 6.4.
