Advisory: Add information to SCT about problems caused by running a classic theme
Note from Leet: If you got redirected here, it’s because you have an issue that you think is related to SCT. Unfortunately this is not the case. What you are experiencing is actually an artifact from running Classic Theme on newer (Windows 8 or higher) operating systems. Please refer to the Classic Theme Issues category on the WinClassic forum. (Link)
It would be good to include an advisory about the following in the documentation, and if possible find if a process could be loaded during the Enable routine so that the Windows feature can be run:
TaskManager starts, then flashes off (when SCT is enabled)
-
When SimpleClassicTheme is enabled, TaskManager initiates and instantly closes before it can display anything.
-
Click Disable in SCT, and TaskManager will then load correctly.
-
If SCT is re-Enabled, TaskManager stays running and still actively monitors the performance of programs.
-
TaskManager was started in both cases above by clicking TaskManager after a Ctrl-Alt-Del.
I'm noting that this is not bug, but a conflict. It is one that users should be aware of, to avoid trying to track down some other kind of cause.
You might consider adding a "Compatibility" button at the bottom of the right-sid SCT panel. Clicking it would give a list of any known compatibility issues. The list could either be hard coded or link to a web page.

Good idea, thanks!

Task Manager stops working because it always expects visual styles to be enabled. Modifying the resource files on task manager may fix it, but its very hard.
