wouldn't it be technically better to have the inactive buttons not glow also? At least it visually signifies that those are inactive coz the titlebars look the same for active and inactive windows.

Active and inactive doesnt look the same. I keep the inactive glow because is just the active button, you need to emphasize the mouse over state and the glow looks cool. :D

the close button doesn't show up here, is it a bug

I'll take a look at that.

Kol,

First off let me say you did some very nice work on this theme!!!

I imported Stefanka's black shellstyle into both themes and it added a nice touch IMO. This shellex may be the one you made to go with LE 4 with his permission. If so, you should consider adding it.

In looking at this WB theme I have 2 questions. (1) In the Windows Explorer there is no scrollbar or arrows. Is that a bug or was the theme made that way? (2) The Turn off computer button seems like it has to much white in the top right side giving the appearance it's blurry and incomplete. Any plans to clean that up?

Thanks again for all your time and effort on this!

It doesnt have scrollbar because it doesnt need it. Windows showsthe scrollbar when its need it. I dont have plans to work on that images.

I have a problem. I switched to WB today to try it out (I use the uxtheme patch). I like this theme a lot but I just can't stand the grayish window background. I want it white. I could switch to white very easy when using msstyle but I dont know how I can do this in WB... Click the pic to see what I'm speaking about.

In the Windowblinds control panel, disable the option to use a predefined toolbarset. After that it should work fine.

Visibility settings > Always Show or if you have a disabled close button Show if window has a close button (UIS2 Only) and the one below it to play with.

Just right click desktop and open Display Properties.

Now hit the "Advanced" button.

Then on the Advanced Settings window, hit the "Other Advanced Controls" button.

This will bring up the standard xp color properties window.

You can change the color from here.
