Sooo GREAT to see another terrific WB from you, Brainy !!
I just got a new monitor with a 1440 x 900 res and it looks great!
Love it! Thanks for sharing.

Why did you make this not square? I hate it when people do this. Dam nice looking skin but can see behind windows (when maximized) all the way around. Completely ruined this skin for me because of that. Make these dam skins functional and pay less attention to the razzle dazzle.

Me, I like the 3D effect of seeing just a tad bit of something thru the sides like that 
Hmmm...
...can I reset something so I can see the buttons on the bottom of the form of, say, AdAware/AdWatch warning popups?
As is, now, when a warning popup shows, there are buttons at the bottom saying Accept, etc, that won't allow me to proceed without choosing a response. My workaround has been to change the Blind, click the Accept button or whatever, then change the Blind back to Plasmatron. Somewhat akin to not being able to see the Help and Run icons in the Start Menu (mine are set to Show Small Icons in the Start Menu, but the Start Menu form still hides them. Other Blinds seem to do this too, some don't. I'm thinking it's a setting I can make in WB 5.

MikeO89 because of the titlebar button layout the sides have to be visible.Any skin can be edited for your own likes and dislikes...the setting you want is "screen edge clip" in the window frames section of Skinstudio.I use the skin as is,it was designed for ME.It is not a commercial skin,it was not designed for "work".Form over function is one of my faults and the main reason I took up skinning windows.It was ugly(but functional )That being said,there are a few changes I plan to make,very minor but needed.(see below for one)
seldomseen ,I have that prob also...I think it is because Skinstudio wont let me set the unskinned titlebar height different from the image size.(it returns a critical error).Those dialog windows seem to be hard coded for a certain titlebar size.Will eventually,probably,make a lite version of this skin or update this one with a fix.Updating is really slow right now for some reason.

I amusing non-standard font settings, all the time. I'll check and see if that's it. s.s. as soon as I get to it...soon
re:"updating..." : I know, "walk, then run..." lol Pages seem like they take longer to load this time of day/nite. It'll happen, It'll happen. I'm one of the many waiting to see what changes were made to Plasmatron widgets
I'm running CPU, Calendar, and Clock all the time, now. Also OD+ (thanks,WG!!) The whole theme really captures...something...what's that game that never really hit it big except for a few fans.. "Myst", that's it! Had an other-world, believable yet fantastic quality to it that was really unique. Plasmatron has that eerie underlying quality for me like there's this unimaginable civilization behind it all. Still looking for just the right wall...maybe I'll dig out an old copy of Myst, see if that works.

neither eye's tracking with the other, like a chameleon...

I have never quite seen anything like this theme. How long does something like this take you?
Well done by the way. This is my all time favourite.

---- I've been passing this skin over and finally decided to give it a try. Main reason was the blue was too blue.Well that's easy enough to fix in the 'paint box'. The color changes that can be made are endless useing the tools in 'blinds config.' and playing with light and dark really can make a Big difference. This is a REAL Fun skin fer sure.-- The design takes me back a few years too when you make a comparison between dis'un and "COLONY". The scroll on the side is a stroke of design geneious.All in All I'd say you've got a real winner here in design and innovation along with flexiability.-- I'm at liberty here to give out the Blazeaway "ATTABOY" and you DO deserve it. Great Job !!!!!!!!! ----
