My mom has Windowblinds on her computer but the configuration panel is too huge for her to fit on the desktop. She has to keep her screen resolution at 768X1024 so she can see it. So my request would be a resizable config panel.

1. the ability to include a user pic icon (not just a background) that will apply with the skin. Treetog did it with Transilvania, maybe it was a feature of SKS 4/5 that was removed in 6 but I can't figure out how to do it in 6.

2. if possible the ability to change font color in Windows calculator. It's hard coded, been told it can be changed but takes special tools to hack the .exe file, not easy, I tried and could get it. too many blue or red skins buttons are too close to calc font leaving buttons font hard to read/unreadable unless the mouseover button is far from font color. Would be way cool to change font color.

3. speaking of font color some area are extremely difficult to change, such as start menu program list (left), got places list font to change but can't get programs list font color to change nor can I get normal buttons fonts to change, mouseover and pressed fine but normal don't like change. woulb be nice if font color was easier to customize. I dunno maybe it's just a bug in my system.

edit: my bad for some reason I was thinking this was for the next SKS.

Besides more transparency (check out diafragma's latest Mac screenshot https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=23547&libid=13) and animated window frames...

Reflection options

I know that we've seen this for icons in the Mac dock, so I hope it's on tap for OD+ 2.0+.  Or, at a minimum is a setting that can be applied to a folder of custom icons/pngs with IconPackager or IconFX perhaps?

But the reflective floor elements aspect is very sexy with other windows and graphic elements as well.

For example,

iTunes coverflow does this.

CD Art display does this on a skin by skin basis.  Here's an example, http://www.cdartdisplay.com/index.php?categoryid=13

cooliris does this http://www.cooliris.com/

Just my two cents.

This isn't Windows 7 specific, I'd like the ability to re-use elements better. It's annoying to have to continually re-create the same arrows, buttons, borders, etc for something that is basically the same except with a different image count.

1. A custom context menu with the available custom coloring profiles (quick color profile change) from the WB bar icon

2. Support for Windows Theme Packs

Well question would be are we looking for Win 7 specific or working conpatability across OS's

I personally would like to see blinds support Directwrite and Direct2d.

Write brings in Support for better font support. as well as font acceleration.

2d offers other optimizations although I don't know how well it would integrate with the work done to accelerate wb.

I always liked that windows and taskbar were completely remoddable so they didn't look the same. It wasn't just colour, it was different shapes.

I would like the option to move the start menu button and the clock and the systray around, although I guess that could be modded to a stale state, and a variable state should be done by MS.

Windows 7 has new stuff for setting up multimonitor setups, I would like an option to have different backgrounds on those monitors.

I am pretty happy what windowblinds does now, its stable and does what i want, is there really much more you can do with it? you can  make your desktop complex, or keep it simple doesnt get any better than that, then again, it doesnt take much to make me happy

Not sure if this can be done, but make it easier to make clean styles like the regular VS.

I'd like to see this possible:
