The latest build hasn't addressed the titlebar, startmenu or taskbar issue.

Find the directory which has the skin you are using and delete all files ending in .WB4 then reapply the skin.

Does that help?

Hi Neal, I have serious problems with aura since this build, other skins (tested Ecliz2 and 5imple)are okay :









I followed Your tip deleting the .wb4 files, but that didn't do it.


Drivers : ForceWare 91.31

If you switch to 16 bit colour and apply the skin, does it all apply correctly?

Kinda same troubles since 5.01i [ b ].013 with lots of "black places" (no troubles with 5.01h.012)
It seems to me trouble it may comes on places where skins are using bitmaps with magic pink instead of .tga and translucy, but i may be wrong ...

Can't leave a system report because i already came back to 5.01h.012

Changing to 16 bit didn't help, I also rolled back to a previous version.

Odd, this build fixed my issues like this, but now they have issues like I had in the i build.
Will one size fit all?

Maybe it's a WB5-NVIDIA GeForce issue. My ATI seems fine

Aimzzz might be on to something, my laptop has no issues with the latest builds. It has an ATI Mobility Radeon Xpress 200 card.

I was having issues with Aura, as shown in Carl's pics. ( ATI card )
Deleting the WB4 files in folder as Neil suggested seems to have fixed it.
Have changed back to it 5 times since deleting files and it has applied fine every time.

Oops, may have spoke too soon. First few times applying after delete WB4 files only used for a few min. This time have been using aura for a couple hours, corruption just came back. After reapply skin seems ok again but who knows for how long.

same troubles since 5.01i [ b ].013 with lots of "black places" and 5.01j [b ](no troubles with 5.01h.012)


I've update with 5.01k [ b ].014
After a couple oh hours, the problem does not appear (it appeared after just a few mn with both previous versions)
Maybe i'll find troubles elsewhere but at least this major one seems to have been solved
