You need to download SkinStudio (free version works justs as well) and edit the content margins for the background (In the tree view/left hand panel in SkinStudio - Start Panel -> More Programs Panel -> Background) the current settings are set at [Left=(-28), Right=4 & Top=0] start decreasing the Left margin and applying the skin untill you find the magic number, if you've only got an extra 'y' to deal with then I'd guess at a figure of -33.

Hope that helps you

awesome , and you took the trouble to skin start-button in windows 2000 as well .

What is truly fantastic about this skin is that it's lightning fast compared to most other skins . You should do an update on Essorant's "Savant " skin ( my all time favorite )

I have windowsblinds, I downloaded the skin and it looks good and runs fast, maybe even faster then the original Luna XP themes. LOL , but I cant get any other colors then blue, but it shows black, green, purple, and yellow also on the preview.

Why don't the dialogs have backgrounds? It's using the default windowblinds one

Good job. It's very pretty good skin . But there's a slight problem concering the taskbar. It seems that everytime I start the computer and log on a dont have the usual velvetwaves- skin on my taskbar but another one with white/darkwhite buttons. I've tried everthing but with no results. I only found out that it has something do to with the classic taskbar mode. Could please help me??

Nice update Woodbridge! Only thing I see is that the start menu "Programs" button is off by a few pixels. Although, it might be an issue with the latest build of WB because i've seen the same bug with two other skins I have. I'll uninstall wb and reinstall it and see what happens.

Here is a pic of what I'm talking about: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v394/rah2/feb43779.jpg

I am seeing the same thing as rah2 plus I am not getting the Using new advanced ShellStyles from Windowsblinds 4.4. Since do see the advanced support with insprat by frogboy, this suggests there may be with your skin. I hope you can fix this. This skin is one of my favorites.

Just to avoid confusion, advanced shellstyles don't have to be horizontal like Inspirat, this is a more compact vertical shell. If it looks like it does in the preview, then its working. The 'All Programs' button doesn't work on XP with non English langauge settings used. I can't created sub-styles for every langauge, however, about 10 comments down I have posted a work around, but it will involve editing the skin yourself.

Thanks for clearing that up about the shellstyles. I uninstalled wb and reinstalled the latest build (4.40.029), but I'm still getting that bug with this, as well as a few other skins. I always use English (US) for my language setting with XP, so I don't think that's it. Thanks again for your hard work Woodbridge!

I'm also getting the "more programs panel" bug with WinXP sp2 English (US) and WB 4.4. I can fix it if I set the left content margin from -28 to -18.

Another bug I am getting is that the menu backgrounds aren't skinned, they are just plain white. The start menu menus are skinned correctly, but menus in programs have no skin.
