Are you sure SP2 is causing this? I haven't had any problems with WB after installing SP2.

Maybe you can uninstall SP2 and check it again?

For me, my computer can't take the animation bewteen the initial skin and the new skin. Only reloading the skin fixes it. Did you try that?

Sometimes, a skin will leave behind certain components. Try unloading Windowblinds and then apply the skin.

I experienced the same with certain skins, for example using "Cardinal" skin. The preview is all black and the bars are worst than those in Windows 3.11. I've also noticed that skins usually don't install if applied from within the webpage. Noticed since RC1 through final SP2. Unistalling WB or the skin is useless.

Ive had a simular problem with RC1 the start bar went black when changing skins, I had to fly a window over it then it was fine. But with SP2 final Ive had no problems.
