What does WB have to do with icons? Isn't that more of an IconPackager issue?

hartmech, have you tried different WB themes? I've noticed this myself, but I don't think it's realted to WB, but rather how Windows draws the coloured selection on top of icons with alpha trasparency. It seems that with some icons and certain selection colours the icons becomes a bit fuzzy.

look how icons look when WB5 is unloaded

It happens to every icons NOT only this one... ;(
I tried with another themes , result is the same...

PS. I have one problem more... How to change colour of highlited icon ?? With WB5 it is always blue

I think is might be due to the colour. If you get SkinStudio you can open up the WB themes and edit them. Try to edit the ones that gives you fuzzy icons. Match up with the colour Windows use by default or try with a darker colour. See what happends then.
