I think I have found a bug when I switch Windows themes to anything other then "Windows 7" theme!

When you right click on a desktop icon and select "rename" from the context menu the font is very hard to see when any theme is used other then "Windows 7" theme.

With "Landscape" theme you can see the font a little. But with "light Auras", Nature and "theme for United States" you can not see the font at all.

Again this is when you right click on a desktop icon and select Rename.

My video card is an ATI Radeon 3850.

I sure hope this will be fixed before final comes out.

Anyone else have this issue?

Are you for real? Or just being funny? :) lol

Because the way you wrote "CRITICAL" it almost looks like your just being fuuny. And think this is not a very big deal.

Sometimes its hard to read what people are thinking with text. You know what I mean? :)

Anyway this is a very bad bug in my mind.

If you use a white backround as your wallpaper you can not see the font at all on the desktop icons when renameing them.

I think Microsoft should make it automatically change the glow to shadow and font color in windows/desktop to white when you have a dark background, and reverse that when you have a light (white) background. Or just be able to do that via menu.

And I'm sure "non.sequitur2" is just being sarcastic with you, but he passed the arse line with it. :)

      Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
