I just reinstalled the most recent version of Buzz (build 1503 x64) after a long hiatus, and I noticed that the installation path has been moved from the ProgramFiles folder to AppData/Local. What gives?
Also, I can't find any dark themes in the default installation anymore. Any word on that?
Thanks,

Why is Buzz 64-bit installed in AppData/Local?

Probably the way Windows 8 - 10 doesn't allow standard user write access to program files anymore. But I don't know for sure.

Yeah, I thought it had to do with whether you run the installer as an administrator, but that doesn't make a difference.
The 32-bit version installs as normal with dark theme and all, so I probably just never used the 64-bit version like I thought I did after all, and maybe the 64-bit version is just intentionally set up to install in that location for some reason. It does say "experimental" on the download button.
