He Kittymalone thanks like her name too lol, and i don't think i make it day per day cause i don't think i can skin it everyday but this could be a idea.

Sleepydawg, Lantec And Master IR Brainiac thanks for the wish

It's not in my habits to rip other especially stardock it's could be the best "bad thing" (in french i would said "connerie" ) of the year. it's can be my pleasure to send my skin to the author of WC Select to see it (just wait a day cause today i'm with my daughter and i have some other things to make hope you can understand that). I admit i have seen in many skins how make a Blinds (especially settings not pistures). I begin on the template XP skin and make my work my self no recoloring no copy past, My buttons are make with ranges between 2 or 3 colors.
here a screenshot with to two mouse selected/over of my clear RC (the beginning of my buttons) at top; And my buttons (with olphi in the name) and the WC Select buttons.
All people who know me know i always ask for permission for any part of a work.

Quentin, no-one mentioned ripping except for you, and I re-iterate, those buttons look very much like the WC Select buttons.

"look very much like the" i understand rip sorry if i misunderstand (and i hate rips)
Like i have said in "what are you working on" i want to make a black/blue/grey WB skin thus colors can be look like a bite the same. Now like i said i my last reply it's my pleasure to send my skin at every faith peoples (you, mods, stardock designers, WC admins) that you can see in it pixel by pixel and line of code by line of code....

I think a little, but it's a better skin than I could ever do!  Keep up the good work.

Yes its a little too trans Quentin, or perhaps you could try black text.
