well I don't know what to tell you about the problems with opera. I don't use it myself. I have a feeling it's a problem with the browser and wb.

I don't understand what your problem is when you stated "navigation within WB4.5 is screwy". I need more information. I also don't understand what you mean by "my toolbars browser". I also have no clue what you mean by "out of the windows boundarties" either. All I know is that there were more than a handful of people who used this skin before it was released and no one has yet to report any of the problems you seem to be having.

Pretty neat.I made it a little darker though. My biggest gripe with almost all the skins is the program list comes out only 2 columns wide cutting off 1/3 of the list and yours is no different.Either I've got the problem(and don't know how to fix it) or youse guys are not leaving enough room for all the programs I use.Some skins give me 2/3's and a half but most barely show the third. What gives??

fasterus: from what you're saying, it sounds like you have a ton of shortcuts in your all programs menu. sounds like you should organize them. that's what I did with mine so that my all programs menu is never really too big.

skinner-Thanks! I figure I'll make up a new folder under whatever and move some of the clutter there.Still though,I do have several skins that show a perfect 3 column page and know that it can be done if the designer either uses smaller fonts or compacts the program page a bit.Better yet why not cover more of the start menu? I guess the true answer would be for me to start learning how to use all the tools I have and build my owne Blind!!!!!!! again --thanks for the come-back----

Sweet skin man. Great work.

Just 1 bug (I guess?) I found, the tabs on firefox with the default team are black and the letters are too. Not sure if this is even fixable. But hey whatever, no biggie, I switched firefox themes.

This skin rocks.

npinchot: thanks for the comments

unfortunately due to firefox being a bugger, it screws up some skins. sorry for the inconvience.

Great job xino. This is one of the best skins I've got. I do have 1 problem with it and didn't read that anyone else is experiencing it above which worries me. The More Programs Panel at the bottom of the Programs Menu Never lines up right. I have downloaded it twice and tried but the left side edges are always about an 1/8" to far left. Any idea what's causing this? Everything else in the skin lines up perfectly. Again SUPER JOB! This one misalignment problem is agravating and very noticable. What's the answer "All Knowing Creater"?

best thing to do is open it up in skinstudio and try messing around with the margins for the more programs arrows. unfortunately since everyone's system is different, there isn't much I could do personally. it's something you'll have to figure out yourself.

This really is a great skin. The only problem that I have is that my all programs button disappeared. I cannot figure out what the heck is going on. If anybody has any idea whats going on let me know. Other than that it is a great skin. Good Job.

Decent skin, I like the techy look myself, however the fonts in the toolbar and meus are truncated and unreadable, probably solved easily by adjusting content margins in these areas. Also having no mousover or state change for the logoff \ turn off area is a bit dodgy. Nice Job on impelementing the media player controls and on the caption buttons (which to me seem rather small and not much of an area to focus on)but nice design nevertheless. Your buttonface shadow colors look off, both light and dark shadow are lighter than the menus themselves causing the disabled text to look bad. As a rule of thumb the dark shadow color should be darker slightly than the buttonface but this is a mistake a lot of newer authors make so don't feel bad about that one. In addition your light and dark 3D colors are greyscale while your buttonface color has a blue hue'd grey color so basically they are mismathced. That could be a preference but to me, looks..off. Your menu extra items image containing arrows for minimize, maxmimize etc.. aren't centered between the menu border bar on left and the beginning of the the text in the menu.
Lastly the inconstency in font choices does sorta take away from the continuity of the theme.

Hopefully you will take the critique in a positive way because all in all its a great concept and with some fine tuning could be a top skin. I rated it 8�
