Skin problems

I was wondering if anyone else was having problems with the new beta2 version of WMP11?

I installed it, sometimes you have to do these things. It seems to work well enough. However I have noticed that some WMP10 skins, especially from The Skins Factory do not work properly. It is pretty apparent even from the screenshots that something is not right. If you are having problems like this can you drop a reply below.

thanks,
bill

I have noticed tat a lot of skins don't work correctly as well. Some will even show in the preview but WMP seems to default to a generic skin when I try to apply the one I want. I'm guessing the file format as changed or something.

I get a huge white box around the outside of the Terminator 3 skin that you get with Theme Manager. However all my official skins work perfectly.

WMP11beta needs some more work I reckon anyway. There isn't even a horizontal scrollbar I can't scroll across to see the more song details for example.

In reading around it seems something might have gotten messed up by Microsoft on this build. Let's hope it is fixed by the next update, it would be terrible to lose all those fabulous skins.
