great skin, probably one of the best and I use this as my main skin. Would like to see it in a light green or another color.

Mr jsdoyle / Scott
The non-transparent borders show up in all skins of this type but the taskbar is transparent.


I have the same issue, my Dell Optiplex - Alpha Blending works fine, no problems with transparency, WB5 applys skin perfectly.

However.....

My IBM Thinkpad T41 with Latest Version of WB5 and: ATI Mobility Radeon 7500
No-transparent borders show up in all skins of this type
The taskbar is transparent though.

Anyone able to fix this yet?

PaulEric, I think this is a great skin. I have a different problem with it than everybody else and that is the wallpaper is OK but when I try and change it, upon restarting windows your wallpaper shows up. The bitmap shows up as "Gary DeFourwall.bmp". What would cause this?

Eric,

This is a sweet skin! Thank you for sharing
I know this may seem crazy but is there an easy way to change your tan color backgrounds to a light grey or milky white? I'm a big fan of aqua type themes and I think a "touch of glass" would look great with that color option

I'll think about including this in a further version, but it's a bit of work and I'm working on a new skin by now.
Maybe later...

Meanwhile, you can edit all concerned files from SkinStudio if you'd like to test it

Eric,
I've deleted "ATouchOfGlass 3" before installing the new version, but WB insists in showing it as "Unknown". After that I'm not allowed to apply it. I've redownloaded the file without any success. Has anybody reported such a problem yet?

Thanks for taking time to further embellish this skin. Any chance you could make the hover glows above the min/max/close buttons more prominent/bright?

This is a very nice skin. Thanks for your work on it. No doubt it was a big job...

I use MS Project 2003 a lot. Some skins work fine with Project, while others don't. Yours doesn't. Of course, I can turn off skinning for Project...

When this skin is applied to Project, the maximize, restore, and close buttons are where they should be. However, they don't work. Additionally, double clicking on the titlebar doesn't work. I can, however, right-click on the title bar to access these functions.

Since Project is not a "mainstream" Office application, I thought you might like to know about this problem... just in case you could fix it.

THANKS!
Jerry

Is there an issue with this skin in MS Office Word 2003? Parts seem not to get skinned, mainly the titlebar.

This is the best of the best WB5 skins created to date, IMHO! I typically change WBs every day, maybe two days at the most. Yes, I'm fickled! But I can't seem to make myself change this one out, or if I do it's not for long. I love it!!!

Sorry but I've never heard about this problem before...

PaulEric this is the best skin ever, but I have one complaint/request that I believe would make it even better.

In the titlebar there should be a solid background behind the window title, the app icon and the min/max/close buttons. It is too distracting to see clearly which is the window with focus.

Maybe add a rounded background behind these elements so the "glass" parts are still visible everywhere except the areas I need to interact with the window with focus. Something like this: https://www.wincustomize.com/Preview.aspx?Source=DJPDJP/wb/Keramik41.jpg The ones without focus could look like they do now which really looks out of focus.

EXCELLENT WORK!

HOW DID YOU GET THAT OUTLOOK EXPRESS ICON FOR YOUR OBJECTDOCK?!... i couldn't get one on mine

Comment #138 Sunday, January 29, 2006 5:12 PM
Excellent work, this skin is the classiest I've seen on this site to date. I have two questions though:

1) Is it possible to reduce the level of transparency on the window borders just a touch? it can be a bit distracting when multiple windows are open, but if it had a hint of colour(maybe a few options) and was a little less transparent it would overcome that.
2) I have Object Dock but can't seem to get mine looking the same as your example, how do i do that?

Thanks Matt

I really like the glass look in general, and I really like this except when a window is maximized. For some reason, the beautiful borders disappear and an ugly looking titlebar appears. It's not only with this skin, but with others that have the glass look. Is this some sort of drawback in WB5?
But, I still like this skin.
