I tried all skins and got the same problem (win 7 64 bits)
Did you redownload newer 0.31.4?

I think *I* did, but never before, in any industry, have I come across a production version numbering system where bug fixes have the same version number as a previously released version.

It doesn't make it wrong or right - it's simply an observation regarding potential confusion. If the version number were different, the question wouldn't be needed.

Question wasn't for you, but observation is ok. I was lazy.

That's why *I* said "*I*" and at the same time I took an opportunity to make an observation.

In any event thank you for both your honesty and your hard work. It is greatly appreciated by me and countless others.

PS Is there anything basically different between the *skin* implentations which can, in some cases, cause differing user experiences (like something working and then not working) for the same user? Differening graphics libraries or M$ .net or some other commercial stuff? Just a thought.

I guess that because I as a user have found a workaround and "unfortunately" I am using a "minority" system, there is now no bug.

Been there, done that myself.

I'm still intrigued how the implementation of these "useful" skins can cause different user experiences (for me at least).

One skin, for me, doesn't work.

As you can see, this thread is still open, so you can untwist those knickers now. :p

The skin in question is the only one with some fade-in/out effects, maybe that's what Wine has probs with.  Although Alt.Binz isn't officially supported under Wine, I'm sure Rdl will issue a fix if one becomes apparent.  Unless he decides to keep it secret to spite you, of course.

I just love to be "spited" by fade-in and fade-out issues... especially when it involves my only pair of knickers.

It now looks like you have an understanding of where this cosmetic "bug" may lie because of the additional feedback you requested and which was provided. I have always indicated it could be a Wine subsytem issue. Linux/Wine exists, will not go away anywhere fast or soon and it can either be embraced or ignored.

In spite of "ranting" I still give out a big thank you to all who have been involved in this project.

I just noticed the invalid type error appears when pressing 'fill' on global search. I have the new 'search fixed' 31.4.
