When UAC appears, Start Orb is the Wrong Colour / Different from rest of interface
When user account control apprears, the rest of the screen is grayed out. However, the Start Orb and Surrounding square is left as normal. Not sure why, but really irritates me EVERY time I see it.
Ensure that the "Gray Out" zone is placed ON TOP OF the start orb.
OR:
Create grayed out start orb to switch with normal when UAC appears.
If this is a feature of the software... make it obvious... a glowing orb?

Slideshow Experience is sloppy
Almost everytime I start a slideshow, I get visual glitches when the desktop fades out. For an unknown reason, the taskbar is in front of the fade out and only hides randomly, mostly after the fade out.
Experience on multi monitor sucks too: It (more...)
Make the experience glitch free. Optimize for multimonitor support. Make the animations much smoother and add hover transitions to the slideshow controls. A progress bar would also make the experience better instead of the static loading graphics.

Remove the extra border like on Windows Explorer.

USB/Flash drives do not have "percentage used" color overlay
My USB is FAT32, and is shown in Computer. If i right click, and click view as portable device, it comes up in an anoying window, which DOES show an overlay. First, the "portable device" concept is useless, and second, why does it show the overlay?
Centralize portable devices into Computer, and let USB drives have remaining space overlay
