If that doesn't do it, then somewhere on your monitor there's a Reset and a Settings button....use them.

I might be wrong but I think that bignate111 is talking about a DesktopX theme which requires a 1280+ resolution, but his monitor is only 1024.

1. Try and increase the resolution of your graphics card: Right-click on the Desktop > Properties > Setting > and increase the Screen resolution to 1280x960. You might not be able to to so depending on your System.

2. If No. 1 doesn't work, you can modify the DesktopX theme through the builder (note, I think you only get the builder with the full version of DesktopX).
Right-click on your DesktopX icon in the system tray and click on "List items..". (Note: you need to be in the builder to have this option). A new Window listing all objects and items will open, and you can adjust the X, and Y coordinates for each object. Just make sure that all x coordinates are set to 1024 or less and all y coordinates are set to 768 or less. and everything should show up.

Special Note: If you are trying to use one of gef's Desktop theme, you will have to set your Desktop resolution (see No 1) initially to 1024x768 > then apply your desktop > then change your desktop resolution back to what it was (no smaller than 1024x768 though).

Very special Note: if I misunderstood you, and you are talking about something else, disregard this post.
