Why is this the wrong size?

Help!

I'm new to DesktopX and am having a bit of trouble. I downloaded a theme - Lonhorn Evolved - and tried to apply it.

The bar has come out too short and I don't know how to fix it! It is hard to describe but the bar is stopping 2/3 of the way down the screen and looks like it needs resizing. I wanted to show a screenshot but I don't have a website to put it on and link to so I have uploaded it to wincustomise in the screenshots section and called it Lonhorn Problem (I hope that is ok, I dunno how the rules work around here, sorry if I've done the wrong thing).

I would say based on size of screenshot that it's built for a 1024x768 screen.

B**g*er.

I take it that trying to resize it to suit 1280 x 1024 would be a major kerfuffle?

Try to contact Latin and see if he'll release a version for 1280x1024. He's a decent guy and would probably do that. He's got links to his site in the comments in that skin.

Aha!

Thanks to a post by patrinos in the comments on the theme, I have managed to stretch it to full height and have inserted a systray and taskbar into the space gained! (I'll get the hang of this stuff if it kills me!)
