Where did the title bar go?

Problems with MyColors and AlienGUIse

Greetings all.

Though Stardock is one of my favorite software houses, I am having problems currently with two of their products (which do the same thing, that is: customize the look of the Windows UI). Said programs are known as MyColors and AlienGUIse.

Whenever I apply a theme that isn't a reversion to the standard Windows XP hideous blue, the borders of all of my windows (including the title bar!) vanish without a trace*. Also, the Start menu and system tray don't change any further than the "Windows classic" theme, in which the buttons and such are squared off (they do change colour, however, to fit the theme I'm attempting to apply).

*By this I mean that any maximized windows' menu bars are adjusted to the top of the screen, and any windows that aren't opened to maximum are similarly stripped, not merely of the title bar. This is problematic partly because I perfer to use the buttons on the title bar to minimize, maximize, or close the windows.

Please assist if you can; I'll be happy to supply any further details (and screencaps, if I can find a site that'll host them for free).

I believe AlienGUIse uses an older OEM version of Windowblinds, which may cause some problems.

You can host your screenshot on http://imageshack.us (then copy the Direct Link to Image (very last field on the bottom) and place that url in the dialog after clicking on the "insert image" button)

Open windowblinds, look for the "system info" button and cut and paste what you see here. :)
