When running XPChrome on both Windows XP and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, the top of the Window flickers when moving / creating a tab / performing any action on the toolbar of the browser.

A screen recording highlighting this behaviour is shown below.

This behaviour occurs with/without extensions installed.

I have also noticed this issue, but I have not found the cause yet.

Have you tried using Rohitab's API Monitor? You can get it by going to http://www.rohitab.com/site/files/downloads/2013/03/api-monitor-v2r13-setup-x86.exe.

Especially noticeable for a dark theme, like Zune. Not a solution, but I can minimize the unwanted visual effect by installing a similar color theme from Chrome Web Store.

Oh, it is an issue with theming. I think it will work fine with the Classic Theme being used.

I have noticed this glitch on the upper frame when dragging the window all over the desktop. however on Win7 it works perfect, no visual issues

If you disable the WS_CAPTION and the WS_THICKFRAME window style for the main window you no longer have any issue. You can do it with a tool like WinSpy++. However I do not get why WS_THICKFRAME needs to be disabled I would have expected that removing WS_CAPTION would do the trick but for sure it is related to the non-client area painting, you were not really supposed to paint over non-client area before vista.
