Start8 makes Taskbar Glitch on "Aero Lite"

from Stardock Forums

Hello, I'm new here! I just bought Start8 for use on my computers, and so far, everything seemed to work just fine. That is, until I activated the Aero Lite theme, where the taskbar would trigger the glitchy transparency. This problem seems to "fix" whenever I change to a high contrast theme and back, but it would trigger again once I change to the Aero theme or when I reboot the computer.

This screenshot is mine.

I sent a support ticket regarding this issue already, all they told me was to untick "Disable transparency", thing that was already disabled, but this issue persists. I have two computers, with this software installed, and the issue happens in both of them.

Aero lite (http://www.askvg.com/how-to-enable-hidden-aero-lite-theme-in-windows-8-rtm/ ) was removed for Windows RTM.

Support for it should not be expected.  :)

I have the same thing, where whatever wallpaper I have on the screen actually shows through the taskbar, not that it is a problem, I actually don't mind it, So here's hoping that it actually stays as is. Not had any problems with it so far.

Probably because the Windows Aero transparency was more-or-less removed from Windows 8.
