I set my Skype to use "Classic Windows" visual style and two problems appear from time to time:

1. Huge shadow appears behind the Skype window.
2. The number of online Skype contacts is displayed under the "Contacts" tab instead of at its bottom.

If I select "Skype" visual style and then select "Classic Windows" visual style again these problems are fixed, but sometime when I start Skype one of these problems or both pops up again.

Thanks for your help!

Can you please tell what windows you have and attach a screenshot.

Hi Raul,

I'm using single window mode on Windows XP SP3. See the attached screen shots.

Thanks for your help!

Thank you for screenshots.

We will investigate it.

Note for me 99990.

Shadows have been removed in 4.0.0.181

Yes, it looks like the shadows problem is solved. Thanks!

The problem with the hidden user count is still present in 4.0.0.181. It can be triggered by clearing the history, exiting Skype and running Skype again.

The online user account is shown on a place where it has been designed to be.
