This looks awesome KoL, and the toolbar buttons are perfect to :D

I'm no working on my second version of my winamp skin, this one is going to have transparency also :p

Excellent work as usual Kol... However, my Thallos 2's (both normal and compact) transparent taskbar does not work :( It gets all corrupted. I've tried installing and downloading a fresh copy twice. Also, there's a slight problem with the start button. I've attached both images. Everything else works perfectly..

And before anyone says anything, yes, I've paid for it, it's a legit, licensed, legal, stardock approved, non-pirated copy of WB5 enhanced.

I'm using the Thallos 1 normal now, so, no big deal. :) P.S - this was the first theme to make me switch from iFlex, so, massive respect on that one Kol.

Same here! I switched from iFlex for this one. :)

KoL: thanks for the quick update on the bugs I mentioned! You rock! :D

Hey KoL, I love the choice of icons in your screenshot. Can you possibly upload the icon packager theme for that icon set? Would be appreciated...

P.S. Can you please tell me where to download the Black My Computer icon? Thanks in adv.

Thanks KoL, you rock (Y)

Been using the Msstyle version (converted to WBA by SkinStudio) upto now, but I had a few issues, like the down arrow/up arrow next to the back/forwards icons in IE not showing.. but all is great now I'm using the proper WB version :)

One question though, are the version numbers independant?

Meaning, the Msstyle is at version 1.2, this is at 1.1; does that mean the Msstyle one has bugfixes that this doesn't.. or are they separate?

Cheers! :D

Also, whether this is a bug or not, I'm not sure. See in the screenshot below, theres a bit of the end of the arrow cut off, and the border line seems a bit too close to the arrow also.

Anyone know how I can correct this in SkinStudio?

I think the problem is the content marging, Im not sure, I have to take a look.

I'm experiencing some button glitches in CCleaner, I don't know if this fixable, it might be since WindowBlinds is more flexible??? :huh: ...

I can fix the shadow problem I need to find first where the problem is. :p Im not sure about the buttons problem. I think I have to remove the bold of the button and Im not going to do that.

I dont use IconPackager

Okay, any way of getting it exclusively? lol...anyhow, what about those hard drive icons? Where are those from? Thnks..

dividebyzero you should update your video drivers. I have no problems here

Wow - that actuall worked Pitt! Thanks! Weird though, because all other transparent themes have worked great.

Anyway - just wanted to say, I noticed the way that the titlebar is not uniformly transparent across it's length and is more opaque to the right of it. Very subtle. Nice attention to detail there :shiftyninja:

I guess I should have used another skin before posting here, I don't know what it was that was doing it but it seems to have fixed itself so everythings cool.

Hi Kol

First off all, I'm really digging the transparent skin. :D

I already updated my winamp skin to with an transparent version.

Take a look at the screenshot here.

Second off all, when I look in the Thallos folder in my Windowblinds folder, I see 2 overlay images that looks like glow for the exit button and minimize and restore.

Are they being used at all, or not?

None or the less this is the best Windowblinds skin I've ever used. :punk:

Love the skin man, looks really really cool.

Yep there are some glow images on the files but I decided not to use them. Didnt like how it look. :p

Amazing skin and very light on resources. This is also the fastest skin I have used, alot of other skins with transparecy slow down the OS. Fabulous stuff mate I am very impressed and cant wait for the next one. Are you planning on doing a darker version of this skin ( not black and red please! ) ?

Could you maybe show me how to put it in the *.sss file cause I dont have Skinstudio 5 :(

If it's to much of a hasle then nevermind :)

I dont have the skin with glow right now but Im going to upoad the file when I get some time.

I already started the mockup of my next skin. It is going to be a little different from what I have done but I think is looks cool. And no is not going to be black and red, it have some red-orange parts.

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
