WB Vista 5.5 Bug?
Sunday, September 9, 2007 by Astyanax | Discussion: Customization Software
I'm not sure if this is known but I am running WB 5.5 on Vista x64 and for some reason all the skins I've applied make my system tray icons huge.
Heres a pic:
Is this a known bug with x64 thats going to be fixed in WB 6.0? It's a really big annoyance if you know what I mean. Not only do the system tray icons look ugly and huge, the taskbar is larger and even the Start Pannel icons are larger as well. I really hope this gets fixed or atleast is acknowledged and going to be looked at....

Yet another conflict when a skin is applied. The catalyst control center sits there for about 30 seconds when I try to open it, after which it crashes and im forced to close it. When I unload WB this problem no longer happens.

Until then you can only hope that 1) another user with WB5.5 and Vista64 had the same problem and found a fix; or 2) one of the above-mentioned Stardockians arrive with a response.

I asked around for an answer for you and here's what I came up with:
The WB bug could be caused by a bad "caption height" value in a skin and may continue until you restart the PC with a skin that doesn't have a bad caption height value.
Here's a similar post that may also offer you some suggestions:

Other than that, I can only suggest that you email or call Stardock support and talk to someone more directly connected to the issue.
Best of luck!

That did it, I guess I'll have to go through each skin and take a look around so that Font height is correctly set. Does anyone know exactly where in skinstudio this setting is?

Whoops, easily overlooked.
One problem though. Skins that arent PerPixel like Camaro that have to get the titlebar height adjusted so the system tray icons don't get huge seem have some frame issues. The top image shrinks (which is to be expected) and when I try to add a PerPixel frame to it there seems to be an issue since the skin is UIS1, the PerPixel frame doesn't show in Vista when applied.
