Shell[edit | edit source]

  • Enabling EnableAccent causes rendering issues.
  • The Start screen may be unresponsive for up to a minute after login.
  • The Desktop tile will show the Windows 7 default wallpaper after first logging in.
  • An option to "uninstall" the desktop from the Start screen is present but does not function.

Themes[edit | edit source]

  • The title bar and watermark uses the Arial font due to a typo in the aero.msstyles and aerolite.msstyles files.
  • Only the top portion of the window frame is blurred when using the Windows Aero theme, leaving the side borders transparent.
  • The Windows Basic and the High Contrast themes do not render properly due to the enforcement of the DWM Aero theme.
