I havent updated the theme yet. I need to wait until Tuesday to get WB5 and SkinStudio 5 Beta to start working on the glass version.

[sicburns]

Glass would be nice, can't wait for WB5

I meant the preview but ok. I thought it was someone elses hence why I was asking but once you have seen one trans Vista Visual you have seen them all.

It looks cool at first but I myself would find transparency rather distracting all the time.

If you are doing that will you be using the true coloured vista logo? as that white one is quite ugh terrible in a way.

aahh the preview, yes I uploaded that.

Im thinking to use the Vista flag instead the white flag.

mockup looks fantastic kol... can't wait to use it.

and also... everyone in here needs to give kol a little break... after reading like the last 5 pages, the "bugs" people are posting have nothing to do with the theme. The theme is near perfection, if you have a bug, write to stardock...lol

[Trigo]

Kol if you have time and feel like it you should make two versions one that recreats the original as closely as possible but another where you can improve the original. Frankly the original can be improved quite a lot the buttons the scroll bars. This is totally up you and just a request.

Still have the problems :(

Going back to 4.6

[Whitman]

Sorry if this is already known/fixed but I thought I'd mention it.

Using WB4.6, I've set the right mouse button to rollup the window when I click on the title bar. When a window is rolled up the bottom left hand corner is missing. A shot of what I mean can be seen here.

That will be fixed in the update.

I had to import the Visual Style in SkinStudio again to make it work with WB5. I need to make all the updates again so wait a little for the new version.

[pepo]

wait, is the new version only for WB 5, or are u making a 4.6 version aswell with the new buttons and windows borders?
