5 stars!
All in this skin is great! I realy mean that. Except for the startbutton. In the future i hope you�re able to fix that!

Ruparticus, I'm thrilled to hear this is your favorite!!!
Mirella thanks for the vote of confidence, there are so many wb skins on this site that are much better (trust me) but I still appreciate the ego boost your comments give me - thank you!!!
Hi theleader: thank you for the great feedback, I gather from your comment that it doesn't look right. It should be an oversized vista globe logo (full circle). I have seen sometimes that the overlay doesn't show up at first, resizing your taskbar up & down a few times refreshes the start button display and it will show up properly. If something else is wrong with the start button, please let me know - if possible I'll do what I can to fix it.

This is a great first effort! �
� I can live without the "glow" effect...just color or brightness change or augmentation is fine (something like "Arzo"'s. Love it! Thanks! �

I really like this setup! I appreacte you updating it. I hjust wish there was a way to change the shortcuts you have on the top of the windows. I don't use media play, I prefer Winamp. That would be a useful link for me.

Awesome work!! This fits in with just about everything I like in a skin. It might be a little fat on the window borders and the tooltips are cool on the special buttons, but my cursorxp cursor covers them up mostly hehe.
Still excellent work, I like the color choices on the taskbar as well.
Thank you for your attention to detail and updating an already great skin.

Very nice. I like the "Vista" look but what I really appreciate is the button that rolls the current window up. The extra buttons are GREAT!!

Hi GhoS, thanks for the awesome feedback. I kind of like the "fat" borders - reminds me of me��, actually I tend to prefer the thicker borders, when they're t0o thin and a window is maximized I can hardly see them. Sorry to hear that the cursorxp that you're using covers up the tooltips that I created, I'll try to place them a little lower on my next skin. I appreciate hearing details on the "details", it helps when working on my next skin (see the forum post on May screenshots for a sneak peek)
Hi kbtat2, great comments, I too liked the "Vista" look (there are quite a few users who don't like it but everyone will have their own preference). What I love about windowblinds is that I can create the vista look on my xp machines without upgrading although I do have a test vista machine that I also use to see how my wb's look in a vista environment, it's underpowered and I can't see myself using it on a daily basis. I'm glad you liked the action buttons (I do too), there are so many different actions that windowblinds allows in a UIS2 skin - I wouldn't have enough room on the titlebar to put all the different action buttons possible however I do think I will add another button for winamp users.
Thanks again to both of you for the great feedback!!! �

thanks for the compliment, I would call it v3.0 of my "1st skin", I'm starting to get the hang of this wb skinning business ��
- and yes there apparently is an echo, every comment I post gets doubled, it has to to do with my user account, I've tried this on different pc's and get the same results, it stopped the other day but apparently the echo has resumed it's ways, sorry for the double posts - if I could stop it I would!

I personally like this, especially the Media Player tab, since I'm a real music addict. However, I was wondering---can you change these tabs to your own liking or no??? If so, great If not that's fine too. You've done an awesome job

Thanks for the feedback Gabbying12, You would have to go into skinstudio and edit the skin to change the action button functions which isn't an impossible task if you know what you're doing. I'm considering adding a winamp action button considering how popular winamp is. What other actions would you like to see - I'm always interested in hearing what other users would like to see used with the action buttons.
King999 thanks for compliments, I do have a Blue Vista Basic skin, I may consider updating it in the future to look similar to this skin. Did you know that you can use windowblinds to change the overall color hue of a specific windowblinds skin, go into windowblinds config, click on change colors in skin, click on enable custom color support and adjust the color hue / saturation sliders to acheive a different color for the skin, you can also convert to greyscale if you like the black & white look - this works with any wb skin as far as I know.
Revlite, thank you for keeping an eye open for my skins. Check out the screenshot section to get a sneak peek of the green lantern skin I'm working on, should hopefully be out within a few weeks. ��

If this Wb had Glow effects would kick MS Vista out of the market (most people buy it for its inerface) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obliously not the most original but really nice job. I'd like to see the glow effects in the next update!!!
Thanks for the great skin

Glass2K is a little app that let set individual transparency for the taskbar and any window.
I set 80% opacity for explorer windows, 50% for the taskbar and 100% for other items (control panel, Firefox, etc).
It fits perfectly unclerob's skin
By the way, many transformation packs and suite include Glass2K.
Another must have is Styler XP to set a custom toolbar to explorer.
Both apps live happily with Windowsblinds.
