WB5 Issue: Programs RunAs another user are not skinned correctly
Stardock Forums
Background
One common practice for ensuring your system is secure is to run as non-administrative user and to use RunAs to open individual programs that require administrative access.
Problem
Programs that are opened with RunAs another user are not properly skinned - major screen elements such as borders and titlebars are missing.
BTW The problem with the ">" appearing on shortcuts in the Favorites menu instead of the sub-folders is still there from WB4 and it makes the favorites menu *very difficult* to navigate.
Reproducible with 5imple Alpha and WB5 on XP Pro SP2

Note: Try RunAs in the form of right-click context menu *and* as a shortcut command line in the form of ""%SystemRoot%\system32\runas.exe /profile /savecred /user:"username" "C:\MyProgram\MyProgram.exe"" with cached credentials (as the latter passes momentarily through a temporary command prompt, this may be significant, although there is no problem observed skinning programs launched from the command prompt normally).
One hopes this is not impossible to fix - after all, the native skinning engine does not have this problem.
