Issue with Back - Forward and Down Arrows in Explorer (FIXED)
Been going on for years...
Wednesday, February 5, 2020 by LightStar | Discussion: WindowBlinds
This problem has existed for years, and I would have thought someone at Stardock would have caught it by now, but I guess not. After applying a skin, any skin, the back-forward-down arrows in explorer are fine when you open an explorer window. But if you apply the skin again, like when designing in SKS, the issue occurs. See image below.
Hope this can be fixed, it gets really irritating after awhile.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, I can't reproduce it on both my Window 10 systems. Any specific steps that I need to do to reproduce it?
Thanks

I third the motion, I get it all the time When I ran Win 8.1, and Win 10, it happens mostly if I have a window open, for any length of time, I don't have to reload a skin (but it does happen on reloading too), just keep my Explorer window open long enough, and it'll change the arrow buttons to the default (I guess) from the skinned arrow. I'm usually opening files/folders, and then it will eventually change. I'm glad I'm not the only one getting this, cause at first, I thought it was just me.

Hello,
Thanks for the input, but is this has something to do with "OldNewExplorer"? Since I recognize from Tom's screenshot the explorer look a bit different than mine.
Thank you,

That was it! I Uninstalled Old New Explorer, rebooted, the opened Old New Explorer and unchecked the box for "Use alternate navigation buttons style", Installed Old New Explorer again and all is fine. Thanks basj!
