Theme doesn't sync

[Psyk00]

Nothing happens on my PC street enabling theme sync on my phone. Tiles don't change their color to match my Lumia home screen. Anyone having this issue?

Make sure you are using the same MS account on both. Assuming you are doing that, go to Settings -> Sync my settings -> and make sure Theme is turned to on. Also, when I first turned it on, my phone took my computer's theme, not the other way around.

I was wondering which one would be the winner and if everything would match my PC or everything would match my phone.

I want to sync them all, but that means I have to change the color on my phone. My Xbox One and Surface both use blue, but my yellow 920 is using yellow! So, I want to play with the syncing, but I am not sold on using yellow everywhere. [I can't fathom having my phone not be yellow, haha]

Got that apart of Theme set to on. Where can I do that?

​It is on the Sync My Settings page. It is a little slider that you tap.

Sounds like syncing is not for Detroit people.

Did it earlier but still nothing happened. Also is it me or the coins has disappeared from the keyboard layout and more can be only found in &123 section? Can see any logic in that.

There might also by a sync setting on your computer (not sure). Also, mine took a couple minutes before it actually synced.

By coins do you mean the different symbols for money? Didn't look like much changed to me.

There is a setting under settings -> keyboard -> advanced for your comma problem.

Thanks a lot for help, mase123987. And one more thing - should the status bar signaling notifications show icons representing different apps, like a envelope for emails etc? In my case I only get an icon representing new notification.

​There is only that one icon for notifications. I was kind of bummed about that as well. That said, it is a start and I am willing to let things grow over time.

Still nothing. Tiles stay stubborn and won't change their color on my ultra book and Xbox One. Weird.

Same, nothing is syncing. Odd. Oh well.

​Have you looked to see if there is a sync setting on your ultrabook?

All OneDrive/sync options are one.

Ok, changing colour in Windows 8 changes it on WP8.1. Not so easy in the other way. Still nothing happens on Xbox One. Aren't sure if it should sync too.

I believe it only affects computer and phone.
