Removed previous version with Revo Pro, cleaned registry items with RegSeeker.
Install went fine. Restart first time may have been a bit slow.
Restarted 2 more times. OK. Taskbar slower to load icons.
User account image - transparent .png has black background.

So far so good.

Hm, I was unaware that you can use PNGs as your user image. This is fixable.
The first time Classic Shell starts it collects information about the installed programs (shortcuts, icons, etc), and caches it. The next time it will start much faster.

Actually what do you expect to happen when the user image has transparency?
It won't look right with the Windows 7 style where the image is partially outside the start menu.

:mrgreen: I see your point.
Image needs a background.

Okay.

might i suggest a 3rd user image layer, defined by the skin, placed behind the frame, and image :P, Allow it to match the size of the frame if chosen by the skin :), and let it use the theme coloring :), i believe i asked for this a while ago (mostly for the background of the user frame), but now it makes sense for other reasons aswell
