If that doesnt help… (which it didnt for me) if you go to System/Design and then click on the Add Design Change button… you can tell it to use the new design site-wide…

The following worked for me:

Go to System/Configuration. If you are looking to change the look of your entire site, make sure you select ‘Default Config’ under ‘Current Configuration Scope’. Otherwise, set the scope according to your needs.

Select ‘Design’ under the ‘General’ tab, then ‘Themes’. In the ‘Default’ field type ‘modern’.
Save config.

Hope this helps.
