It sounds like Clipmate is constantly sending out messages which is telling WB that the wallpaper has changed or the taskbar size has changed.
We will look into this & see if we can workaround it.
This is now resolved. Additionally I have set it so clipmates menus are ignored by WB as clipmate is self skinned & its menus look wrong with WB skinning them as well.
There will be a 5.01 update either later today, or most likely early next week.
Citizen srdiamond ....the fault here lies with you....as stated, you have not set SDC to show 'pre-release versions'...which currently shows a .010 ver available 5.00[b].010 to be precise.
Compatibility issues are constantly addressed, hence all those zeros and ones in the version number.
Remember, every day there are more and more proggies released....and revisions of existing ones....so it is the nature of the [skinning] beast that compatibility-correcting releases will be ongoing....
I have heard that registered WB users can also use SDC to download the beta builds of WB, though I have never tried that myself so I may be wrong.
I should point out that the newer builds are beta and we will release a non beta version once we are happy with the beta. The feedback has been positive, so I have hopes it will be soon. There is one more beta build to be released with some fixes for a couple of reported issues and some tweaks for compatibility with an upcoming WindowFX build and then it should be ready for release as a non beta update.
I am sorry for the delay, but it is better to release an update when you are happy with it than release something which introduces lots of problems for customers who had no problems.
