Shell[edit | edit source]

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
andaerolite.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.
