I have the latest version of Chrome on W10 and I'm not seeing any issues other than what was already reported, i.e. the constant page refresh on WC plus the site issues on yahoo. Other than that it works just fine.

Are you going to make a firefox extension to fix the Windows 10 issues? I use Firefox as my primary browser and just bought object desktop.

..... oldnewexplorer is just a "test" version, right ?

Nope, definitely not a test version, works great. You can read more about it here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/170375-oldnewexplorer-117/

It can be downloaded here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/System-Tweak/OldNewExplorer.shtml

Works on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10.

Also, libreoffice has issues

Disable OpenGL acceleration in libreOffice (Settings, view)

That's a good temporary solution, until you want to use openGL animations in Impress. I'm not doing presentations right now, so it's fine for me right now. I don't know how to fix sumatra however.

Also, seems like Iconpackager is unable to restore default icons in Windows 10. I am now stuck with some icons as Windows 10 style and others in midnight aero. I guess theme manager is not ready for prime time since iconpackager is a dependency.

IconPackager is explicitly blocked from installing on Windows 10 for a reason. You should not install it or Theme Manager on Windows 10.

for a reason

Damage to Win10 can result in doing a fresh re-install of your OS.

Ok, I get it, yeah, theme manager was a dumb idea. One glitch I did also find on Windows 10 on Deskscapes however is that when you switch desktops, the background stays paused if you had a maximized window open on another desktop.

It would be cool to see theme manager make a comeback since it allows complete themes that can take advantage of all parts of object desktop.

Just wondering, is there a place dedicated to bug reports like on Github? I think it would be a little more organized to post bugs there than here.

Ok thanks, I thought this was the only place to talk about Windowblinds 10. I'm very new to the Stardock ecosystem, so I don't know much about anything here.
