Sorry Can't edit my post 
What meant to say was that you are right about the taskbar icons not being a Opus Issue 
But that the new Opus still has major problems displaying shell32 Icons, as shown in mine and many over peoples pics.
Hopefully someone will figure out a way to fix this soon. thx
Aside from the task and title bar icons... I also see the funky icon rendering when swapping back and forth between RDC sessions on the 'SendTo' menu shortcuts and lister file display border. But again, always an RDC related issue, and not a 'generic' one like is being reported here.
Like VX220 I just noticed that my DOpus installation also has problems with some normal icons in addition to the rendering problems in the Favorites and other menus.
This is how DOpus renders the icon for a hidden desktop.ini file.
I filed an bugreport already (Tracking Number: 350001465375) several days ago but I didn't got any response from GPSoftware.

Could everyone saying they have problems in this thread please tell us:
a) Their screen mode. (Resolution, depth. Also state if you're using multiple monitors and check that both monitors have the same depth settings.)
b) Whether they've changed screen mode since booting.
c) Whether they've used Remote Desktop, VNC or similar since booting.
d) Their make of graphics card and drivers.
e) Their OS version.
Since GPSoft, nor myself, see the problem we need to track it down to a particular hardware/software configuration so that it can be reproduced by someone able to fix it.
a) 1024x768 - 32bit - single monitor
b) no
c) no
d) ATI Radeon 9200 - Driver version 6.14.10.6444
e) Windows XP Professional SP2
And on my machine the problem came after updating to V9.1.
a) 1280x1024 - 32bit - single monitor
b) no
c) no
d) ATI Radeon 9200 - Driver version 6.14.10.6360
e) Windows XP Home SP2
Is their any news about this issue? I also filed bugreport #350001465375 for this problem.

No news here, at least. All we (the forum) know is that four people have seen the issue and two of them have ATI 9200 cards + XP while we don't know what the other two have.
I never had this problem, but I can reproduce it :
When I switch display depth from 32-bit to 16-bit mode, the problem appears. When I switch back, the problem disappears again.
Windows XP SP2
Screen resolution: 1280x1024
(other resolutions tested: same problem when switching to 16-bit mode)
NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti 4600
No Remote Desktop, VNC etc.
In addition to my post above:
When I click the Favorites-menu in Internet-Explorer (v6.0) I also notice some Icon-problems:
(Left picture: 32-bit, right picture: 16-bit)
[quote="Christiaan"]I never had this problem, but I can reproduce it :

The others are saying they see the problem all the time though, even in 32-bit mode. There are some problems with icons in Opus (and Windows in general) when you switch from 32 to 16-bit (e.g. using Remote Desktop) but I think these are two separate (possible related) issues. If you restart Opus after changing the display depth it should be fine.
Yes, you are right, restarting DOpus solves the problem...
Since the problem seems to relate to ATI 9200 cards I have found one on eBay and ordered it to try and help track down the problem. Jon from GPSoftware says he's been looking for one in Australia without luck so if I can't work anything out here then the worst case I'll post my card to him so he can try.
Thanks for your great commitment Leo.
Leo,
I don't want to spoil your ebay adventure but underneath is my configuration WITHOUT the supposed "culprit" ATI card and WITH the same problem. It's my work PC btw.
a) 1680x1050 - 32bit - single monitor
b) no
c) no
d) Intel 82865G (Onboard graphics) Driver: 6.14.10.4396
e) Windows XP Professional SP2
Example:
As you can see in the screenshots below (click thumbnails to enlarge), I cannot reproduce the problem on my XP Pro machine with ATI 9200 and 6.14.10.6614 drivers.
Both the favorites menu and the translucent hidden file icons draw fine. The two screenshots show this and also the version of the ATI drivers and the display settings.
The only way I could reproduce what the screenshots in this thread show was by switching the desktop to 16-bit colour, but restarting Opus after doing so made the problem go away.
I tried changing some toolbar display options in Opus but I couldn't find anything that broke things.
So if everyone seeing the problem is absolutely sure that they're running in 32-bit colour (as shown in Catalyst Control Center in my second screenshot) and not changing between 16-bit and 32-bit at all, then I'm at a loss.
It's worth noting that the drivers I downloaded seem to be newer than the ones people with the problem have reported. Not sure why that is when ATI's website says they haven't been updated since 2006, but maybe the website means that was the last major update and there have been minor ones since then? Either way it might be worth a try to install the latest drivers from ATI. (BTW, that link is only valid for XP and 9200 users.)

...
d) Intel 82865G (Onboard graphics) Driver: 6.14.10.4396[/quote]
That version number looks suspiciously like an ATI driver version number.
The Intel drivers for the 82865G seem to be numbered differently, e.g. 14.17.0.4396 is the latest one:
downloadmirror.intel.com/9498/ENG/relnotes.htm
Found via the 82865G downloads page
Perhaps I am looking at the wrong version number and Intel and ATI's driver versions are coincidentally the same down to the 4th component?
actually Leo, most intel driver version numbers seem to have the 14.10 numbers cause the driver version on my laptop also has those numbers (Intel centrino vPro chipset).
NEW theory!:
if (version_number == sSecret_numbers)
{
DOpus.AlphaBlending == false
}
...maybe my boss put an ATI card in my worksystem without informing me. I could have been playing games @ work al this time!...well kind of.
happy hunting. If you want some more info. Let me know!
Grtz Jeroen
Yes, but see your post. You said your drivers were 6.14.10.xxxx not 14.10.xxxx.yyyy. Was that a typo?
