I didn't have this problem until I installed today's update. 

RedneckDude: Your issue is unrelated to this thread.

The issue with black was specific to Windows XP only.

I suspect the problem you are having is a skin related issue.  Please try another skin.

Not only did I not have this problem until I installed the latest update, I can fix it by maximizing and restoring the window. But it shouldn't be happening to begin with.

RND if your talking about the toolbar 'missing', which I think you are not sure why it would be, its a flat plain , normal toolbar, same sized image I always use, are you getting that in other skins? Then again with the state 1E8 is in, not only do i not attempt to check it, I wont even open it. If your a WB user, better stick to FF or alternative browser atm. IE7 is fully skinned though.

Neil, I emailed you Venom a day or two ago, perhaps you can take a look.

Can I use IE7 on Win 7? And I haven't seen it again, or on any other WB. I never saw it at all until I installed todays WB update.

1°) Well, for me things are different that for RedneckDude and are giving a nice improvment (not complete as you'll see )

IE 7 toolbars lines are no more blacked but "only" the part which is called (i think) rebargripper

Significant example to see the trouble, is with LK WB (by Duopixart): (but other skins are doing the same)

  (same as in post #1, click on the image, then click on "voir la taille réelle to see the real sized image)

BUT, as the previous "black" trouble was systematic, now the blacked rebargripper are appearing or not when launching IE 7 and N.B.1, N.B.2 & N.B.3 mentionned in post #1 are still relevant .

2°) That was the news for the "black" trouble, BUT i found out another trouble now with StartMenu (which was already existing with both WB 7.09a betas but not with WB 7.09) and relative to the UserIcon image for skins allowing one

Here are two examples of what's going on (first still with LK WB, 2nd with Buuf OS WB:

 &

As far as i could check (but i can be wrong) it seems to me this trouble comes when a UserIcon background image is not defined and / or the margins not correctly set in the skin (but with same skins, UserIcon is correctly displayed with WB 7.09 )

N.B: using or not Blur on Startmenu doesn't change anything

Hope you'll get enough elements to correct those troubles

Revert to 7.1 build 247. No problems....except that v makes stunning skins and hasn't enough hands to do it as fast as we'd all like.

Do i understand correctly ? I better stay with IE7 under XP than updating to IE8 (i mean skinning concerned ...) ?

I have never ran IE8 on XP, not ran 7 for that matter either, I still use IE6 on XP. I use IE7 on vista, again, so I can skin it..

..and on Win 7 ...IE8 and as far as I'm concerned, it can just KMA.

Maybe someone else can answer but I'd be shocked if it skinned on XP any better than other OS's. It may be 'usable' on light themes, dark ones, forget it.

got the same number of hands as everyone else unfortunately, diff is mine don't work as well as they used to.

What problems are you having with todays build?

I've been using it all day and so far none of the wonkyness exibited by the previous build. (Config crashing,hanging when changing skins)

So far,so good.
