Not to flog a dead horse, but I still have this problem, but more details this time. XPize settings loads on Windows startup, and by default I've saved it to make icon text backgrounds transparent. Upon startup, it doesn't load my settings, and icon backgrounds are coloured. Pressing load gives the same error as stated above. I have to close and reopen it to effect any change. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is this something wrong with the program, or is it Windows? Thanks!
