Skin elements stacking instead of updating

Post by martimzao »

I'm having a problem where every time something moves in a skin it doesn't actually update the skin, so for example, a clock, when switching the number of the minute, doesn't actually remove the previous minute, so let's say we are going from 7:23 to 2:24 the last number 3 would not leave and the number 4 would stack on top of it. This happens with every skin that does some kind of moving/update. Can I fix it? Thanks

Sounds like a graphics driver problem, try upgrading your integrated GPU drivers

Updating the GPU driver (as suggested by Jeff) and letting hardware acceleration on is a better idea, however these not always fix the problem.
