Layout/Skin/Skinning engine bugs?

By the way, it seems the task bar itself isn't the problem, as I found another way to replicate the issue without it:
1.Shrink Mediamonkey so you can see your desktop.
2.Close Mediamonkey.
3.Open Mediamonkey (DO NOT CLICK THE MEDIAMONKEY WINDOW).
4.Click on your desktop.
5.Hover over Mediamonkey window (make sure you hovered over the caption bar at least once)
6.You get this:

Well, you're not that far off, apparently. Here's what one of the developers said about the issue:

Hi,
I have been able to see it on one very old MMW skin and the problem is that overlay images for the buttons in skin are not defined correctly and are smaller allowing system buttons to bleed thru.

This needs to be changed in skin directly.

So, how exactly can I fix this?

Updates about the issue #2 (from my support tickets):

To me the title looks fine maximized only in 2 situations:

1.When you have just applied the skin but didn't restart Mediamonkey. In this case you'll notice that the window doesn't have any icon at the top left corner, where it should be. After you restart Mediamonkey the icon appears and the title text becomes (for the lack of a better word) transparent.

2.When you have a black background behind the Mediamonkey window. But if you change your background color to, lets say blue or red etc., You'll see that the caption letters really are kind of transparent.

The issue disappears when you change Windows 7 theme to a non-aero theme (like those in "Basic and high-contrast themes") and then go back to an aero theme. After computer reboot, however, the issue comes back and you'll have to do the above once again.

I did some more tests and here's what came up:
If you run Mediamonkey in Windows XP compatibility mode, or if you check "Disable desktop composition" in the compatibility settings, the title is no longer transparent.
