Do the old skins work?

I've tried a couple of my favorites so far (Pix OS and Zippo) and both work.

My first guess is that most, if not all, will work with the new version.

Thats good.

I want to download it to see if theres Alpha blending, but I try to avoid beta versions of stuff. Any news on that?

Could you please describe how everything is working? Video, CPU usage, RAM usage, CD burning/ripping, portable device communication...that kind of stuff. No hurry, take your time....

I would love a better working WMP, but I don't really want to dl and install this thing if it's really buggy.

If you don't want to do this, I would totally understand.

Thanks.

nope.. as far as i could tell theres no alpha blending... >

as for its RAM/CPU usage, it hasn't really changed much...
though i would say its taxing the CPU a bit more than before.. maybe thats coz its a beta

Ripping/Burning & Device comm... its as flawless as before

There was some issues with plug-ins from what I read on Neowin...

Sometimes where the song was playing lower right, showed a white box with red cross for some reason.

Hmm.. Seems exactly like 9 series, only looks a bit different and instead of "Copy from CD" they now call it "Rip"

Ive always had trouble with 3rd party plugins but I really like the layout of 10 and like its functionnality better then 9. I have made the switch
Only con is when you click on a category on the top menu you get a like 4 sec black screen for stuff to load but thats ok since im always in the library category.
I would recommend getting it.
