Nicely done! On 1600 x 1200 resolution the borders are skinny. May I suggest widening them a little.

Would this be any better? [link]
I am at 1280 x 1024 here so I cannot see the affect. Your feedback is appreciated.

Hi, I really like your skin, it looks pretty good.
There is only one thing that I dislike with your theme. maximize a window and put your cursor on the complete top of the windows... the cursor looks like it wants to resize the window. This should be taken care of.
Another thing is what makes me like themes or dislike them (when they are "conventional" themes) it that I want to be able to put my cursor on the top right, the far top right, the last picel, click and the window closes. Like in windows classic theme (and maybe luna if my memory is ok).
Anyway, great theme.

Thanks, the problem is fixed.
At first, I thought you were talking about the top right corner closing thing. Still not my chosen skin
Still nice after all.

My new update with shadows allows for you to use the corner close thing.

Sorry about the preview, it was my first upload and the page said something about 100x100px so that is what I did. I uploaded the large version (which I had planned to do in the first place).
FX and YZ have problems with perpixel skins. I tried this skin with shadows when if first began, but felt that it looked better without them. If you enable shadows in windows for the menus, it works. Though they are not as large as some you may see in 3rd party applications.
Outlook problem was fixed. It was a font issue. I had to make change the font sizes to be negative...weird. Anyone try this in Opera? My friend mentioned it before, and I thought it might be a similar issue.
PS: You guys travel in packs and attack all at once...lol. I left my computer for an hour or so and there's like 10 posts.

I'm sorry, I can't seem to edit my posts...
Regarding the shadow issue... perhaps another solution and request would be to include a shadowed version (both the main windows and larger shadows on the menus)? Thanks in advance

Hi again, I've had a chance to test the new version out and so far it seems to have fixed the bugs I experienced with the earlier version. I have a minor annoyance though... the menus (right click) look great but they do not shadow well using windowFX or YzShadow. The right and bottom sides of the menu do not allow the shadows to butt up flush with the menu. (there is a gap between the side and the shadow line) This cannot be fixed with an offset either. Could it be that there's 'shaved' just a little too much the right and bottom border? Could you possibly add a few pixels to have YzShadow's shadow be flush with the menu?
Thanks in advance

very nice skin, defiantly some fresh air for the wb skins. Though I like the vista skins, it's nice to see some different skins for once. The only thing i will say is that you posted a very small preview of your skin and maybe hard for others to see a nice preview of your skin. Again great work.

LeonAu [2006-07-12 16:22:55 +0000 UTC]
I agree with the preview, but I remember the skin when I stumbled across it in it's earlier version and I was extemely impressed then and quite happy you are continuing to refine it. I just remembered that there were some problems with using the skin (first release) with Microsoft Office 2003 apps. I think it was Outlook. I just figured that I would have to forget this skin (sadly) as I could not find mention of further development and a fix to those issues. Until now Yay!

And Second of all?
First of all usually denotes a list of things, if not another "of all", buddy.
