Just gave my PC a refresh and decided to get a nice new (awesome) theme to round it off and I've ended up getting the DarkMatter 3 for 2 Pack (whats £13 anyway?). I have to say the themes are fantastic. I can't wait to see my mates faces when they see this.
However... there is one little thing that's not quite right. My My Music and My Pictures icons have reverted to the XP defaults. When I first applied the theme they show up as the should with the nice new icons. But once I put something into the folders the My Pictures icon reverts to a normal folder and the My Music icon reverts to the normal XP music icon. The My Videos folder is just fine. Because this only happens when I put files in the folders and it doesn't affect the video folder I thought I'd post about it and see if there is a fix or if I'm missing something, and to bring it to your attention.

There are a few icons that are a little odd (like the sharing folders one in the ss) so I don't expect them to have new icons, but the My Music one particulaly sticks out like a sore thumb atm.
Oh and my docs folder looks pretty empty because I'm still restoring my files, in case you were wondering.
Full Version: My Music, My Pictures Icons reverting to default...

When you downloaded the installer did you get the english or non-english version of xp? Is your copy of Windows in English? Also does it happen with all the themes or just this one?

I got the english version for an english version of xp. I tried it with the othere themes and it doesn't happen. When I put the subspace theme back on it stopped as well. I probably should have tried that to start with...

Yeah software can be a "i want to rip my hair out" experience sometimes. And sometimes its just a matter of something didn't get installed right. Glad its working for you now! Enjoy :-)
