I tried using Aero and then applying the theme.

It's supposed to look like this

Gah.

I hate asking for help, but I really am confused about what I'm doing wrong.

Basically, whatever theme I use, it sort of.. half works.

Example:

I have no idea what's going on. I'm just about ready to throw the pc out of the window.

Any help for the newbie would be appreciated.
