Would be nice to see this "really" work on XP. I have very few dreams that work with it so far and as a result I don't even use it. But it would be neat to see it work a bit better.

And I gotcha on the updates Neil...thanks!

The last time I saw XP, it was on the geriatric bus,heading to Obsoleteville.

True enough.  But many of us will be saddled with it for some time to come, I'm afraid, who like to skin it and are very grateful for WB updates for it.

I had rebooted after updating it like I was supposed to. I'll have to try the new update again and see what happens.

along with over 50% of the worlds PC's

Using this public update, WB still applies skins significantly slower than it was a build ago which is a huge time loser for us skinners.

10-12 seconds compared to a previous 2-3 secs.

Luckily for that 50%, it's a very slooow moving bus.

In our testing we do not see this problem.  Skin changing is actually quicker than before.  If skin changing is slow you almost certainly have an application which is either not responding or is being slow to respond.

I'm missing the 'OK' on the button in the lower right of the wallpaper interface.  The button works fine though.  (And yes, after a reboot).

Where? I don't see that.

I don't know where you people are getting your information  from concerning the decline of Windows XP.  Hell, 90% of users in China still use XP. MaxStyles gets 70% of visiting users running XP, and my site still gets 85% of visitors using XP.  I bet if WinCustomize were to check their statistics they would find a similar number on XP.  Windows XP users are certainly not in a big decline, anywhere.

It makes them feel good though Tom to think they have the superior OS. I'll retire my XP when I do....which shouldn't be to long now.

Something else, although not specific to this version release. Ever since I upgraded to 7, the tray arrow randomly disappears, happens all the time and on every build of WB I've used since being on 7.

tray arrow def. has issues.

Ive been using the same apps config since before Jesus was born, nothing, absolutely nothing is running on my rig that wasn't running before, or isn't supposed to be. All I did was update WB, from what I had to the private server one, then thinking that was the issue, I installed this version.

I installed nothing in between , the only change was the WB update Neil.

Should I do a full uninstall and try the public version from scratch?

And on every skin I've used.
