I was able to get the Explorer background function to work after a reboot, but I am still unable to create or add my own custom explorer backgrounds from the "create texture" button. It takes me to my texture folder and when I click on the image it just reverts back to the texture options and won't add or create. Here is my System info. -

Neil,

Just to make doubly sure the air is clear: I do like having the ability to use what WB8 provides and am grateful for it.

  Decor8 is great at what it does - so far. However the ability to customize the tiles, add perhaps transparency to them, things like that are painfully absent. I have to use something like OblyTile to do that, and it could use some work.

It doesn't. But WB8, for someone that doesn't use Start8 (more on that below) is not as full of an experience.

I choose not to rely on Start8. I have it installed but set to only engage if I use the Win Key. I hardly ever use it. I see Start 8 as a (quite nice) crutch and step back from the (IMO) improved and more efficient modern UI start menu.

To me, the bulk of eye candy that WB always provided was the cool things of the start menu design. Thus, my comments of having WB address the  customization aspects of the modern UI menu... 

I am sure that no one will be disappointed when they buy and use WindowsBlind 8, I knew the team at Stardock would do a Great Job, always great quality and in a class by themselves.

Great job, guys and well worth the wait!  

One good thing I see with WB8 on 7.

The secondary start menus using DisplayFusion now paint correctly.  

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been working on my new laptop/windows 8 for about 2 months and it's been driving me nuts not to have windowblinds.

You guys are awesome!

Aren't they just....

Yes, they is.

Any screencaps of Glass/Aero on Windows 8?

I are so liking this new WB. The new UI is great. I made a copy of the skins folder thinking I'd have to re-install the skins but nope. Wasn't necessary. All my skins are there and intact. I find I'm playing with it more often than usual. Excellent job SD.

Skinners might want to consider the majority of people use w7 so better to not update a current skin but make a seperate w8 skin. 

First of thanks for the email ^^ im exited downloading atm... more feedback to it later
Then i want to already thank dani, for the input provided might come handy in the future
