Please disregard my last comment. Rabidrobot brought to my attention that after fifty comment's page two kicks in. Sorry. I am so frustrated and tired in getting this theme to work, i didn't even see it. I see alot of you are getting it to work now. In the last few days i have upgraded to XP Pro and trying to get all my programs up and running. I saved my last rebuild befor i upgraded and installed the GH file. I too found that i am missing some font's. Great to hear alot of you are getting this to work for you. One more issue with the font's and i will be on the right track.

I'm still not getting the right font. Is this something that I can fix by hand in the meantime? Thanks!

Love this, what a awesome theme! I am new to using windowblinds but everything seems to be working great. The only thing that didnt install was the background (wallpaper). Do I need to do something else to get that to show up? Great work, I know this is going to be one of my favorites.

tealfan. I'm having problems uploading my update three. This has been an ongoing problem ever sence WC upgraded to it's new site. I will keep trying. Try deleting my theme and install the Lumos font on your PC found at http://www.potterworld.net/fonts.htm. Then reinstall my theme. I don't know if this will work, but it's worth a shot.

Great tealfan, and it's got me bugged too. Befor i backed up all my work i did a final zip on my theme. When i reinstalled it after i upgraded to XP Pro, it did the same thing that happend to you. The site was really busy today so that's why i was having trouble updateing my skin. I hope to get this uploaded soon. In between getting this fixed, i have been working on my next house theme.

hi Heir, i'm not trying to be a smartass, and what i know about skin studio is very little.
i like this skin, i just found some details that bother me ie:
- the blue color when i open control panel.
i get a better visual with: xp shell > special folders > control panel > background color: 244,230,174, as well as the vertical separator, and change all the text color to 0,0,0.
- the huge font in titlebar.
i changed it this way: window borders > titlebar text > titlebar fonts: -11
- inactive titlebar text is hard to see. i found that it could be better with text color: 80,80,80 while the active text: 0,0,0.
once again, i like this skin , it's very unique and fresh, thank you for sharing it, i can't wait for the slytherin house.

Thankyou very much 1nsomn1ac. I can use all the suggestions i can get. Being a begginer at WB skinning, i felt that i was getting in over my head on this theme and needed a bunch of help. I wasn't sure on how to change the blue backgroung in Control Panel. I did't like it much myself. As far as the Title Bar font's, all you needed to do is install the Lumos font on your PC and reinstall the theme. As for the User Pain font, i don't know what happened to that. Another mystery. 
I will use your font color suggestions in my next update. All i can tell you about Slytherin House is that there is a surpise animation in the Start Menu.

Hi Heir,
To change the blue color in control panel section:
> XP Shell > Special Folder > Control Panel > Colors -> change Background Color to 244,230,174 and change Title Color, Body Color & Body mouse over color to 0,0,0.
> XP Shell > Special Folder > Control Panel > Header -> change Background Color & Background Color Gradient to 244,230,174.
> XP Shell > Special Folder > Control Panel > Vertical Separator -> change Background Color & Background Color Gradient to 244,230,174.
To change the font size for user name in start panel:
> Miscellaneous > Presets > Font Preset > 01 Imported (Franklin Gothic Medium) -> change Font size to 28 instead of 38.
Since you define the titlebar font to Lumos, it's better to include the font with your skin:
> Miscellaneous > Fonts to Install > Font file 1 -> right click, import, browse for file: LUMOS.TTF
To include your nice wallpaper in the wb:
> Desktop > Desktop wallpaper -> right click, import, browse for file
Hope this help
Can't wait for Slytherin House and all the surprise

Hi Heir,
You might also want to check this, it's still using Luna's elements:
> Taskbar > Taskbar Group Menu > Background
> Taskbar > Taskbar Group Menu > Item
> Controls > Progress Bar > XP chunk - Horizontal
> Controls > Progress Bar > XP chunk - Vertical
Sorry for talking too much, i just want you to finish this skin faster, so i can download Slytherin soon

Truly magical stuff. Nothing less than a big wet kiss from Ms Rowling herself is deserved.

Hi Heir,
I've just done some test: open "System Restore" & "Disk Defragmenter" dialog and look at the buttons.
All text in system restore button is not visible.
Doing some changes in windows classic text color didn't help, so I change the black color in "Gryffindor HousePushButton.bmp" with 191,133,21 plus some 3D effect, then change Tranparency and Tranlucency - Switch to transparent.
It's all ok now
(And now I can see the submit text when i click the submit button to post this comment)

Thankyou Alucardigan. I'd settle for a part in her next movie. 
Thanks 1nsomn1ac. I wish i had you by my side when i started makeing this theme. It would have gone alot easyer for me. The pushbutton text was bugging me too. I coulden't figure that out. I'm on a mission to make this a great theme for you and everyone.
