Just incase anyone is having probelms with Word (and I figure office in general) after installing Shape Shifter, they don't play nice together, and it has to be put on the exclude list. If that is done, all works ok....

Word and Toast 6.0 give me problems too. I will try the exclude list, see what happens. Anyone else seeing these hurdles?

No problems with Word here. What kind of issues are you experiencing?

Word unexpectedly quits if you try and do some things. Haven't tried toast yet. The program is great though, I just wish I could experience it with QE...I've got a Sawtooth and I've had to revert to the old ATI card for 10.3 to work. Hopefully 10.3.2 will help....

Ok, got another...iTunes quits when you try to get info. If you exclude it, once again, no problems. Seems like there may be some issue with non-standard windows or something.

Okay, I'm definitely not having the iTunes problem.

I use Word very regularly, and my only crash since SS came out has been because of a font issue (a crash on startup, removing the font fixed it).

Had problems with Entourage and trying to select preferences. Window would start to draw and then Entourage would quit. Disabled SS and Entourage worked fine. Didn't test with other Office apps. I use Entourage all the time (24/7 it's on all the time), so if it wasn't working I didn't want to mess around with SS anymore.

ShapeShifter 1.0 has an issue in Carbon apps when using certain Jaguar themes while running Panther. That's what all of these bugs are. This is fixed for 1.0.1 which is getting very close to release.

Ya, it would make sense that it is a Jaguar Theme/Panther issue, because I'm using BBX....It isn't a huge problem at all, and it is a great program. I just wasn't sure if others were having the same probelms.
