Just had to say thank-you for creating something so polished and elegant! Particularly love the way this skin takes re-coloring. I'm always on the quest for feminine yet sleek designs and this one keeps it's silver wire and transparency when colored to a rose, salmon or creamy golden yellow - making for a very nice blend of 'masculine' and 'feminine' elements which retains it's sophistication. Fantastic. I love it.
PS. It seems this is a place for feedback as well as praise so I'll mention that the transparent taskbar doesn't show what's directly beneath it, but rather a 'chunk' of the image about 2 inches above it...Perhaps this is unique to me as no one else mentioned it. Just thought you might want to know - this one is worth perfecting!

Ms. celadonX >>
Sorry, but this is a WB5 drawback : TaskBar transparency is not exactly the same as Title bar transparency. It's just a "copy" of the Wallpaper which is "placed" beneath the TaskBar. This has been discussed earlier on a forum about WB5, but I can't remember the exact URL for this thread...
For instance, if you have something (window or icon) displaying at the very bottom of the screen (even a maximized window), it won't appear behind the TaskBar.
Maybe this will be fixed in a further WB update.

I am appreciating a lot your skin!
Only the small problem related to the glow effect on the minimize button of I.E., but not on all the windows (I think you know).
For the rest: "promoted with full votes! "

Excuse me Paul for my errors, but for me it is difficult the translation.
All the three buttons of the windows of the programs (closing, reduction and icon reduction) they have the glow effect (red, jellow and green).
That green (icon reduction) it has a rectangular zone to the center where the effect mouseover doesn't work, therefore it is not illuminate at the center.
More precisely a glow effect is not uniform with an annoying rectangle to the center.
If it is a my problem tell me that I repeat the download.
If you have not understood I will try to be clearer.
thanks
Maurice.

Thanks for your explanation, Maurizio. It's crystal clear !
Actually the glow effect isn't uniform with the rectangle in the center, but it's on purpose.
What seems strange to me is that the button itself should become green on mouseover (hence the "blind" rectangle in the center of the glow effect)... can you see it this way, or does it stay blue ? If not, maybe you should delete the skin and install it again.
By the way, you can write in Italian if you prefer, I can understand it pretty well.
Sono in Marsiglia. E tu, dove sei in Italia ? (I'll go on with English though, as I'm more confident with this language when I have to write... )

Grazie Paul per la risposta,
Scrivo in italiano, perch posso spiegarmi meglio.
Il problema persiste anche dopo un redownload, ma non importante.
Il bottone di "riduzione a icona" della finestra di un programma, quando inattivo, blue.
Se lo seleziono appare l'effetto "Glow" (verde per la riduzione della finestra ad icona, giallo per ridurre le dimensioni della finestra e rosso per la sua chiusura).
L'effetto "Glow" o "luminoso", per il bottone di riduzione ad icona (verde), non omogeneo.
Al centro della luminosit c' un rettangolino inattivo dove l'effetto luminoso non si applica.
Resta di colore bleu.
I tuoi skins sono bellissimi e sto diventando un tuo ammiratore.
Continua cos!
Sono di Milano.
ciao
Maurizio.

Paul,
come avrai notato le lettere con l'accento (e, o, i, a, u) non compaiono nel mio commento.
E' per causa della finestra di dialogo di Stardock.

Caro Maurizio,
Thanks for your explanations which I do understand. The abnormal thing is that Minimize button should be completely green on mouseover. See the three states of this button here :
The Mouseover state is in the middle, without any Glow effect.
The green Glow effect is another image which is displayed on top of the button image. Here it is :
As you can see, there is a small transparent rectangle in the middle (this is because I want the white glyph in the middle of the button to stay white and not affected by the glow effect).
All three buttons should behave the same way : the button changes colour on Mouseover (green, yellow or red) and a glow surrounding is added on top of that, leaving the glyph white. You can see this at the bottom right in the preview.
I really don't know why the buttons don't display their Mouseover states on your computer. (By the way, does this happen only with Minimize button, or equally with the three buttons ?)
Maybe you should ask Stardock support about this, as it seems to be a problem with WB...
Sorry for not being able to help you any further...
And if you happen to visit Marseille, just drop me a line : we sure could enjoy a few drinks
Ciao.

PaulEric,
A belated, really big Thank You, for adding the sub-style without the user pic. I have been watching for an update and decided to give the skin a try today and, low and behold, there was the no user pic sub-style. I like it a lot!!!
