WB 5.1 issues

from Stardock Forums
Hey guys, I'm sure you might remember my complaints about having a per-pixel skin in WB5.x and then clicking on the title bar of the task manager would cause the task manager to freeze the redraw of itself until you let go of the mouse button. If you don't, try it and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Well, it seems that the same can be said about the clock in Windows. If you open up the clock so that you're looking at the analog dial and the calendar and then click the title bar the clock will freeze (no surprize here), but it also leaves behind "ghost" lines where the second hand had ticked on it. How anoying is that? Just adding it to my pet peeves about WB5.x. Hope you guys at Stardock fix this in 5.5.... it's really getting old.

BTW, ATI x700 Mobility w/Catalyst 6.12, but that won't make a difference since it does it with any chipset/driver as long as you have WB5.x and a per pixel skin loaded.

As I have previously explained, this is unlikely to change.

Not to start a new topic. My problem is if I have one Window open, click on a link that opens a second window, that window comes up not skinned. What can I do to force skinning on every window that opens? Thanks

Silly question, maybe... maybe not, but "Unlikely to change with WB5.x in XP" or "Unlikely to change with WB5.x in XP or Vista or for that matter in any new version of WB"? Because if it's the later I'd have to ask you why Vista doesn't "natively" have this issue with it's Aero theme.

Please enlighten me... BTW, it may seem like I'm harping on subjects continuously, but I'm not... I keep asking questions because the answers stated are "simplistic". (i.e. I won't work because that's just the way it's going to be...) Meh... I really am interested in knowing the true facts behind these "simpler" answers please.
