How to Set a Custom Taskbar Texture for a Locked WB Theme?

from WinCustomize Forums

Hi,

 

I downloaded a start button bundle that includes taskbar textures, and wallpapers that are based on Windows Vista. I would like to apply this texture to the default Diamond theme that comes with WB because it resembles what Vista looked like when it received the Aero Glass Theme. However I cannot go into Start10 and change any of the settings. They're all locked and I can't see to find out how to unlock them. Can anyone help me? Thanks! :)

The Start10 settings that you're wanting to change are locked because you have a WindowBlinds theme loaded.  If you apply the WindowBlinds "Default Theme" the Start10 settings will be unlocked.

If you want to use a Start10 button with a WB theme, you need to select the "Always use the OS start button..." option in WB:

As far as using the taskbar texture with a WB, I think you'd need to use his image to create a new texture within WB. I'm not seeing a way around it.  Might take you a few passes to get it to look the way you want:

After looking at his taskbar texture on the default Win10, I don't think you'll get what you want by using it as a texture on a WB skin - the skin's taskbar will be showing through.
