I'm going Softer

After a couple of dark themes in a row, I felt it was time to go lighter.

No, Tim.... and v's "Naked" looks borked also....an homogenous, cloudy white. In fact, this appears to be a transparency related problem.

How does one fix that?

But this is a problem which might improve with the upgrade to 7, and clearly not related to Softer.

Here's an idea for SD devs: How about an app that could tell you what is malfunctioning in a program, or what is preventing the program from working correctly.

You mean something like a DOCTOR for Windowblinds?  :P

What taskbar thingy?

seems there is a problem in Win7 with transparency on taskbars. My taskbar isn't flush with the sides of the screen and WB draws a gray block on both ends where there should be transparency #:(

 Seems I've had that problem and just unlocked the taskbar and moved it and it fixed itself. But with win7 this is more like a UAC problem. Everyone seems to think the UAC has been redesigned in win7. My thoughts are "ya it has! it is worse than Vista." Well that is my opinion for it.

Actually have not seen this problem yet. But it will for sure get a fix or work around soon. :grin:

 

Oh and very nice WB there 2of3 - you do very good work!  :congrat:

That and here is another thingy for ya there 2of3    http://www.4shared.com/

By the way, it goes without saying that I appreciate any offers from artists wanting to do matching skins for this

Unless your doing them yourself feel free to send me whatever images you have and I'll do some docks for ya! ;)

Tim,

If you send me the wall PSD, I'll see if I can animate it into a dream.

The wall shown in the last preview isn't mine but it is being done for this skin. I'll get ahold of the author for ya!

In vista, that usually means DWM.exe isn't running.  Open task manager, click new task, type DWM.exe hit enter.

I'm assuming you have it set to "semi-transparency," right?

It's not the blind, Brian.

 

In fact it doesn't happen on my system even.......just reporting what some people have seen. By the way it happens with other skins too, not just mine.

I'm using Xp and the Vista version of this skin looks great on it. You guys should consider rolling back to XP...I don't have those problems. XD :-"

Reduced 46%

Original 1280 x 800

It's a bit trivial, but the texture on the start menu really makes a difference.

I just had to show a screeny of the blind with windowframe roll up (active and inactive). Shown also are the new wall and awesome new docks by WebGizmos!

Man..that screeny looks sweet! And that skin looks pretty good as well! XD   :-" :thumbsup: Oh! Just got another idea for a side dock!  :rofl:
