Last I heard it's a problem with Impulse, so I believe an update is in the works.

Okay got it and thanks folks. 
Has the 'black' snow effect been addressed all ready? I get black snow on a normal wallpaper when I use that effect.

Which OS are you on and what graphics card do you have?
There was an issue with the snow not always working at all on 32 bit OSes (and in the UI on 64 bit), but I have not encountered any black snow issues.

Neil I'm using Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit and the Nvidia GeForce GT 120 card.

The only thing XP didn't gain is the advanced multiple monitor support and a couple of the new effects. Everything else listed is applicable to XP as well as Windows Vista / 7.

Neil,
I too still have the black snow problem. Nvidea GTX260, Window 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Also, the new icon transparency mouseover feature does not change the transparency in any way. I can move the slider all the way to the left or right and it does not effect the opacity of the desktop icons when I hover the mouse over them. The normal one works as it should.

Are you reapplying after changing those settings?

Yes. I can change the overall opacity, just the mouseover isn't changing.

I would try a reboot.

Something else you may not have noticed in the UI is you can now right click dreams and apply, delete or open the folder the dream is in.

Neil posted about this last night and I just checked...it's still not showing up in Impulse. I do have show pre-releases on and have reset the data in Impulse.
Any suggestions to get it to show?
