Minor glitches

I've noticed that the latest Windowblinds 6 has some minor glitches here and there.
The main problem being switching back to Aero from a theme can cause a bit of a freeze up, and sometimes fail, reverting to the classic gray theme. There's also general slowdowns and whatnot such as the system tray animation, which is now slower, even when WB6 isn't open.

These following programs are ones that seem to be glitchy with WB6:
Windows Live Messenger - This applications hides it's borders by default, as WB6 attempts to skin it, there's a minor border flicker. Sometimes this can cause messenger to mess up.

Office 2007 - Has no task menu by default, which causes a line across the header of the application.

Despite telling WB6 not to skin these applications, they still mess up.
Also, please sort out WB6's interface, it's a bit laggy.

Since there's not many skins anyway, I'm gonna uninstall WB and wait until things get sorted out.

There was a problem with some skins and office 2007.  This has been resolved in an updated build which is in beta testing.

Regarding the number of skins, almost all of the WB skin library here will work on Vista.

The Wbconfig UI should also not be laggy.  When do you feel it is laggy?

I havent been able to get the Aero ui to apply yet.. I get classice everytime. Makes it sorta hard to compare while attempting Vista skinning.

I'll corroborate at least one of the glitches here: Ever since WB6, (MSN) Live Messenger experiences full crashes with no error message whenever the border is altered - ex. bringing up the full menu, right clicking anywhere.
