Windows 7 - Can't Disable Visual Styles on any Applications using: Properties > Compatibility

Question

I have installed the Ashtray Placebo theme

http://solmiler.deviantart.com/

I am attempting to disable the visual style for Adobe Fireworks because the controls are clashing with it's interface.

For some reason I am unable to disable via Properties -> Compatibility options on the .EXE. I have tried disabling on several other applications with the same result.

Any ideas?

Use the Application Compatibility Toolkit from Microsoft, create a new App Fix and select there to disable the Visual Themes.

unfortunately this seems to stop http://www.uxstyle.com/ from working, thus disabling non-preinstalled visual styles. – christian Jan 09 '13 at 15:02
