Thanks for this dani, it's helped me out a ton! Unfortunately, I'm having a little bit of trouble-

-How do you make a mask for the taskbar buttons? I've tried making the black shapes in Photoshop and saving as a TGA but with no go- no fancy Win7 highlights are applied.

-How do you get WindowBlinds and SkinStudio to show the Windows 7 taskbar in the preview? Mine is still showing the Vista taskbar and I can't for the life of me figure this one out!

Thanks in advance for sharing your talent!

@ PurrBall: Hello, make sure your taskbar buttons states (normal and mouse over) are transparent/semi-transparent, cause the glow paint behind the buttons.

About SKS, the current version does not show the Win7 like preview (yet) but a new version may come out this week that brings all new Windows 7 skinnable parts and + new UI, stay tuned on Impulse.
