Update/FYI: This is related to the start-button glow. I've deleted this section from the skins and the problem goes away. The taskbar behaves 100% proper without this section in the skin.

| Bug: The taskbar is two-high. You can resize it up (larger) but not down smaller than two-taskbars-high. You can sometimes get around this by moving the taskbars from the bottom to the sides and top and then back to the bottom again. Also in many cases, there is no resize arrow for the taskbar when you hover over the appropriate edge. Even if you mess with it and get it to one-taskbar-high, if you logoff or reboot, it's right back to two-high. I've tried several skins with the same result. It seems to be worse with Acrylic though. |

Neil Update to my earlier BSOD issue. I reinstalled WB 5.49a[b].021 via SDC on a clean install of Vista RC2 without issue....runs perfectly now. As suspected, it was nvidia driver related....this time I allowed Vista to auto install the drivers and did not perform a manual nvidia driver update as before.
The only issue I have now is with IconPackager not changing all Vista's desktop icons, just the 'Computer' & 'Control Panel' ones. Oh well, it's no biggie for now....I've got WB and OD Plus working fine and I'm sure a fix for IP will be found soon.

Sorry Neil...another update. After a few reboots I got the dreaded blue screen again and had to start Vista in safe mode. The issue, however, only reappeared after Vista peformed an auto Windows update and installed new GPU drivers. I tried reverting to the previous version but this did not resolve the issue for long...Vista again updated the drivers and I was back to square one/another restart in safe mode due to the GPU drivers being stuck in a loop....
I tried other workarounds - unloading WB, disabling Aero to avoid conflict - but to no avail....WB reloads at startup and the only way I'm able to get Vista to boot properly every time is to uninstall WB altogether.
It seems that without WB installed, Vista is quite happy with the original drivers it installed upon rewrite, but when WB is installed it wants to auto update to the most recent nvidia drivers, which for some reason go into a loop and result in the BSOD.

imitation crabmeat: It is a combination of both. The software does not yet check if aero is set which is fine as long as you set skins from within WB. If you go outside WB while WB is running things can get confused.
