I'm designing a new skin. But, this program is so buggy.

1)I've created a compact start menu subskin and it keeps changing the regular start menu to the compact version. The images that I replaced don't stay replaced. They seem to revert.

2)The tray notify arrow for the subskin vertical taskbar won't display. It displays for the horizontal taskbar in the subskin and both in the main skin.

3)When I animate the right side of the start menu(places section) the button on that side disappears. It turns the flat background color. If I just turn the animation rate to zero, meaning no animation, the button reappears. But, I have no animation.

I think this problem with 1) and maybe 2) are related to an old UIS problem. For some reason the proper UIS files are not being created.
Has anyone else encountered these problems? And if so, how did you resolve them?

Is there an offical place to submit program bugs so that they can be addressed in future versions of Windowblinds or Skin Studio? Or at least a place where bugs can be offically acknowledged? How about an ongoing offical bug list and at what version the bugs were fixed?

I keep seeing bug threads,created by the skinners here,but what good are they in resolving the issues? Who decides what bugs will be addressed and what are actually program bugs?

I doubt if the Windowblind and Skin Studio program developers are actually constantly looking for bugs. So, where do they get their information? Thanks.
