But still (and I do hope that is the last time I have to say that) - I didn't copy anything. The gloss you are referring to is similar at best, and it is not like I just thought "hey, that's a cool gloss, let's use it". I made the skin to look exactly how I wanted it to be and it was my concept, mine alone.

Just a 'gentle reminder'..skinning started long before XP came along. It has always been a personal process. Someone who 'could do it' 'would do it'. Then, they may, or may not subsequently choose to share it with others and upload it.
Because they were 'personal creations' they may suit the author admirably, with or without 'issues' that others may perceive on their own systems.
Case in point...my WB skins were all designed for Litestep and, to the XP Explorer shell user they are not just 'buggy', they are very incomplete....yet on an LS system they work just fine.
When suggesting there are errors, etc...and the author remarks 'I don't use IE so it doesn't affect me'...you are left with 2 options. Either adjust it yourself, or POLITELY suggest it could benefit with/from amendments.
There really are only two rules to remember.
1. The skins are given freely...appreciate that.

2. Fellow site members deserve consideration and respect.
Remember...skinning is supposed to be fun. There IS no room for 'attitude'....

I think this is a great skin for a first one. I don't make any skins, but I use a lot of them, and personally I like dark skins. I really love the gradient effects. On some context menus, though, the background and the fonts seem to blend and I can hardly read the text. I forget where this happened, but it was just this one time and I didn't take note. Sorry.
Maybe it wasn't even WindowBlinds and it was something else.
Anyway, to make a short comment really long, this is my favorite skin right now.

For a first skin this is excellent. I would encourage you ignore what people have said and continue to do things your own way.
For the rest of you, skinning is supposed to be fun - for everyone...

Anyway, the skin has been updated again. It might take some time before it becomes available for download (verification procedures etc.), but I hope that I managed to get rid off of most of the bugs. As for the ClearType issue - I did switch it off and didn't notice any major difference, so my advice for all of you who experience problems with the fonts - turn ClearType ON;).
Again, big thx for all the kind words and support:).
