It actually was a PNG file at first. I tried using other PNG files, which worked, so I guess something about the original file I was trying to use was going wrong, specifically on my end (it's really confusing, but I'm glad I found a working solution that's a perfect alternative). I ended up having to convert that specific PNG into TIFF.
Actually, it turns out that there was something with the file on my end that Start11 wouldn't read for some reason, so I tried changing the same image's file type, and it solved everything [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
Tried using another admin account on my pc, and it ended up working - the texture applied flawlessly. Didn't do a clean boot on my main account, though. It could be that some app that I have installed might be blocking functionality (wild guess lmao).
Tried both and even deleted the AccentColor key in regedit to completely reset it, to no avail :(
Hey, tried your steps, and still no luck.

Whenever I try to apply any custom texture to the taskbar, it doesn't apply. It defaults back to the standard look of the normal windows taskbar. Applying the preset textures does work, but no custom file seems to work. It used to work for me before with a 2560x1440 image, but something changed, and I can't use it or any other custom image anymore. Not sure what to do next.
