Sorry, entered wrong link to my post reporting jump list cleaning bug. It was this one: https://forums.stardock.com/443842/page/1/ (also fixed in my previous post)
Hi Neil,
Have you been able to isolate the problem with those two skins I linked to? I had hoped updating to the new Windowblinds beta would resolve this problem, but unfortunately it hasn't.
Something I noticed only yesterday is that sometimes if one of those two aero skins is run first, other skins will display similar problems until a system restart. I assume reloading start8 would do the trick, too, but the problem does not always occur, so that I cannot currently try out other possible solutions.
Many thanks in advance.

Received an email today saying that Start 8 is compatible with Windows 8.1 and to download from a link. But the link takes we to version 1.16 which I thought wasn't compatible. And the beta is 1.17 that I'm currently using. So is there a version available outside of the beta that is compatible? If so where can I download it from?
Here is the text of the email sent by Stardock:
The mail is talking about the beta. The store should have a beta link as well.
The release versions will be soon and Start8 is actually getting a second beta update today.
That is fine, it just should be more clear and the link takes you to version 1.16 which has issues with Windows 8.1 from what I've been told. Looking forward to Beta 2.
So was the second beta ever release for Start 8? I didn't see a notice saying it was out and where to download.
Edit: Never mind I found it and downloaded it. thanks...
