Snowman, Just wish this one had Toolbar & Animation support...I'm spoiled now with these newer versions of wb that have it all! Great design here Snow! All the best with your collaboration with BoXXi! Did you design the wall? I'd like to know how to get it if possible Thx so much!

Toolbars icons and/or animations may come later
The wall is BoXXi's 'Ironhorse' - can be found in the wallpaper section

Hiya Snowman, nice job ...my favorite part is the windowframes. Noticed something wonky with the close button. When a window isn't maximized and you click on the close button, it maximizes it. A maximized window closes correctly. I only noticed it happening with IE6 and explorer windows. Proggies like notepad are okay. Running XP SP2 and the latest WB.

Very good skin. The best "thin" titlebar skin that I have tried out. Contrast for text is excellent, making text very readable. Start button animation is cool. Thinner StartMenu Panel works even for my oversized StartMenu.

One issue that stands out for me is the default flashing taskbar item. It sticks out in what is otherwise a complete, consistent skin. (Of course, a flashing taskbar item is supposed to stick out...)

Very usable, dark skin, well worth the download.

Thank all!

Essencay: I do know of that "little" issue, its currently not happening at my system, but I had that issue too my self right after completeing the skin - turned out that i had made the titlebar way too thin, as it is now its round about 50% larger than it initially was!
This may still have a saying though.

Nice work snowy. Would like to see some shellstyles, animations, and icons to go with it. Not getting the same problem as essencay.
Fairyy~

Really cool compact menu and I might just sit here and play with that little slider on the start button....its different--only thing that im noticing right now is the writing field in the comment box is dark dark brown...hard to see the black arial font. Im hoping after I reboot and reload the skin it will be lighter.

A little "boxy" I think, but I love the way the title bar merges smoothly into the window borders is nice. Good skin
