Windows 7 Bugs and Fixes


According to PCWorld.com Microsoft received about 500,000 comments from Windows 7 beta-testers. That feedback helped to fix about 2,000 bugs.

One of those changes in the RC that might be of interest for you.

19. Custom theme improvements

We’ve always known customers love personalizing their Windows experience. At the center of this expression of individuality are ingredients such as the desktop background, glass color, sounds and screensavers. In Windows 7 we’ve introduced themes that make it easy to enable a whole package of default combinations or for customers to save their own creations. However, during Beta we heard feedback along the lines of “I just changed my background or color and I see the change, but I thought it was saved when it really wasn’t”. We added text under each theme to not only aid in identification, but also to provide feedback on the state of a theme. The new “Unsaved Theme” text also ties better to the nearby “Save theme” command. These tweaks should make personalization a more predictable and enjoyable experience.

    New “Unsaved Theme” text to make tweaks and personalization a more predictable and enjoyable experience.

    - funny but this is not an improvement , its a bug.
    if you refer to bugs as improvements…

    my recycle bin already has 37 copies of unsaved theme, which just keeps popping up again and again.
