Ok I fixed everything. I applied the default theme then uninstalled WB then rebooted. Installed 8.09 from ODM and rebooted again. Everything says I have 8.09 installed and the start menu is correct. I knew it was just me. Sorry I took up your time.

Tested the beta because of my chrome browser problem with 1 pixel gap on the left right and bottom frane with each skin.
I also opened a ticket and sended a screenshot of the problem - while i was told that there is no fix for it could you please consider looking into it.
Windows8.1 has no problem with the basic skin so windowblinds should be able to achive the same thing.Basic ( default) windows8.1 skin
The ticket is meanwhile closed since there was no fix at the time.

Odd, I have been using Chrome for ages and never had an issue like that. Might be a display driver or your systems DPI settings thing.

scaling is at 100% it is all like it should be (smaller) that is 100%.
Changed it once to simulate 4K with the use of windowblinds to show users that it is very easy to have bigger buttons so that even on a small dsiplay windowblinds could be used with this slider, also i had this problem before that.
Also scaling should have no affect on windowblinds.
And if i change the slider to medium Large ... the Problem scales aswell
It also cant be the display driver since i update it on a regular basis also this problem existed on my previous card a GTX670 that is meanwhile replaced.Driver is the current 347.09 i always do a clean install.

Just curious, if you're running a desktop system, have you been able to try a different monitor to see if it still occurs?

I would like to support benmanns in this matter. Every skin has this chrome issue, exept the Aero skins by Stardock. It seems there is a transparent background layer which is too wide.
