Fuzzy and Wizard, did you guys use the Impulse update or the Stardock site update?

on Aug 25, 2011

Impulse, and I verified the install afterwards.

This is an FYI, I just updated using Impulse, rebooted and it opened up with Windows Classic and I could not change it to another skin, but don't panic.  Change it to Windows Aero first and once that applies you than can change it to any skin that you have.

I running WB's 7.3 after the update.

I just updated and have the same problem can't change the skin. Updated through Impluse

opens with Windows Classic only whats up.

on Aug 25, 2011

so does this mean that only those who use Impulse to get the update will have no problems?

LeeDee see reply #6 above.

@ Philly. Apply any explorer background and add some transparency.

 Open Libraries and do a search of something.

 Quite a bit of the text is transparent.

Depending on the background wall or window it varies from annoying  to unusable.

Just to add, I had the same results as reply 6 with first launch.
