I went to Stardock/My Account, there were two options, version 8.06.0 or 8.09.0(Beta).  I downloaded the beta and rebooted, it shows as loaded. 

I am running Skype and it did fix the dropdown menu problem.

Installed with no issues on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Thanks Stardock!

I had to disable Windows Defender to install successfully on Win 8.1, but the update installed smoothly and Malwarebytes works again, too! Thanks Stardock for a quick, thorough fix!

Can confirm that the 64-bit version of this "fixes" the previous Directory Opus problem in Win8.1.

Still has the titlebar painting issue (total transparency) in Pale Moon (Firefox) on Win7Pro 64bit here.  It is usually always present on first launch of Palemoon (from it's icon) & requires re-applying the skin via WB Config to fix it.  It's strange, though: if the first launch is by way of a link in an email, for instance, it usually paints normally.  Paints normally on subsequent launches in same computing session.

This was the case with 8.06, too, FWIW.

Comment from the other thread on WB 8.09:

 

I reset Firefox to defaults again and now all is well.

Which 'defaults' are you referring to, Tom?

I have no idea Daiwa, I was just quoting what someone else posted. I do not use Firefox, or Palemoon.

It definitely fixed the titlebar painting issue on Firefox for me. I am running Firefox 34.0.

Sorry, Tom.  Shoulda caught that.

An alternate way to fix this issue is to go to the Customize Menu in Firefox in the Menu near the Search Box. Or you can go to View - Toolbars - Customize. Open the menu and on the very bottom left you will see a Title Bar button. Click it and the Title Bar will appear and will no longer be transparent. Then exit the Customize Menu.

How did you install?

Uninstall WB, reboot, and then reinstall.  Something is not being overwritten correctly.
