i'm not sure what would be causing the issue you're having with the start panel. i've tried troubleshooting the skin on this end and haven't come up with any "odd" issues. all i can suggest at this point is to download the current build of WB5 from Stardock Central and see if that clears it up. if you've done that already then i would have to say it's an issue with the video card. my question is if you're running an on-board graphics adapter. at this point please contact me at solsen4@new.rr.com rather than handle it here in the comments section. same for anyone else having "technical" issues.

I've been using this skin alot. Personally I like your taskbar buttons. The overall look and useablility of your skins will be missed. I'm sorry this is your last, but I respect your decision. We won't mind if you happen to do another WB or 2 every so often...

hi -scion-
great job you did
i report a bug with Aten about #22
to fix that star panel issue you should change TopHeight in [StartPanel.ProgList] & [StartPanel.PlacesList] , its too high.
for example:
[StartPanel.ProgList]
Image=Aten\AtenStartPanelProgList.tga
LeftWidth=93
RightWidth=25
TopHeight=252------>52

Don't often post comments on skins...but this one has just wowed me...class pure class m8...great work....
now the but....well not a but, just a minor observation in the quest for perfection.
I think its calles the tooltip box...shows for brief time over task pannel when open my internt connection etc....image below
Can the top right bit, on standard settings it is an x, be tidied up on the next (if there is one) up-date.
Otherwise anyone else know what needs to be altered?
cheers

Thank you juneyong, it also seems to fix it if you apply large icons then reapply small icons for the start panel. I've also fixed the buttons that Infamous Taipan is talking about. hope this helps...

I really want to like this but there are two things stopping me.
1. the huge round glow on the glyphs and the start button with mouseover
2. with the skin applied it makes text in the tabs of firefox almost impossible to read in the inactive state
Other wise it looks great.

firefox uses it's own skinning engine and "fights" with windowblinds. unfortunately it's hard to design windowblinds with firefox in mind, a dedicated firefox skin would be needed to solve your problem.
as for the button glows. this is a "love it or hate it" feature. it is also a feature that is staying in the skin. if you wish to have a version with no button glows you can simply edit them out in skinstudio. from this point on, please refrain from comments pertaining to the button glows.
thank you all so much for the kind words and suggestions so far...they really make all of the time and effort pay off!!

Excellent skin, for minimalism...this is top class. There are a few things I don't like though, the button glows are bit much...on such a minimal skin...it's almost overkill. I'd prefer much more subtle glows. Also, the taskbar buttons are very difficult to tell apart, the pressed state, the active state and normal state all look very similar. And, the toolbar icon issue, which was mentioned in the first few comments, I'd love to use this skin at work...and probably will...with a few personal mods! 
Keep 'em coming Scion, you are on your way to skinning superstardom...

I have the same problem with the start menu, my wb5 is completely updated.. i tried opening it in skinstudio but I too see nothing wrong. Very strange...

Comment #58 Friday, February 17, 2006 10:20 PM
again, change the start panel icons from small to large (or vise-versa) and change them back and the problem will be fixed.
hahaha okay folks...last time i'm going to say this...neither the toolbar icons or the button glows are "issues"...they are part of the design and are meant to be that way. for real. love them or hate them, they are there to stay. you can always edit them in photoshop and shinstudio if you'd like. that being said, please please please refrain from comments pertaining to those particular items. lol by now i'm well aware that some people may not like those parts of the skin...lol i can't think of a nicer way to say it than that.
aimzzz, hus, pixelpirate, josephs...all of you...thank you for the kind words, it is greatly appreciated!!

Wonderful Skin. Clean and Simple, just how I like it.
One thing I don't like about the skin is the glow on the buttons.
4.5/5

I like this skin very much. Regarding the glow buttons, I think the effect would be even better if it was animated so the glow grew in response to the mouse pointer, and then disappeared gradually when the pointer was moved away. Other then that I think it's perfect.

I don't know if the video card/drivers may be the issue, but this is the card I'm using (Link) along with this driver (Link).
Also, should I turn Cleartype off? I ask because the fonts don't look as sharp as you have them in your screenshot. Mine much smaller and don't look anything like the digital font that was included. Thanks!
