There are exactly 43 unique icons, not including shortcut and sharing overlays. The file type icons are default icon, default document, bitmap, gif, jpg, text, and zip. I'll see if I can update the web page to be more clear. Obviously, the larger the icon set, the more expensive it is to make, which is why icon sets like Apogee cost more on their own than this entire suite.

There is no need to downgrade to 4.6. WindowBlinds 5 is perfectly capable of running non-perpixel skins. Also, if you attempt to use a perpixel skin and your video card doesn't support it, WindowBlinds will automatically show the nonperpixel frames that all skins include. It looks like the problem here is simply that the trial version of WindowBlinds doesn't skin scrollbars, which isn't really a problem at all since it's by design. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/w

I meant that if you have blue text, and want to use a mouse over image, you should make one that looks good with blue text on it. Otherwise, you can delete the image, which will allow your mouse over text color to work, and just use the colored rectangle Windows draws. It will use the same color as the mouse over background for All Programs.

It's hard to say without seeing it, but I'll take a guess. Expand the Margins attributes for the Pull Down Background. There are 4 settings that control whether the outer edges of the image are tiled or stretched. They stretch by default. Maybe you need to set those as well?

Right-click your taskbar and select Properties. Uncheck the "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" box. Now your widget will stay on top of the taskbar.

Unfortunately, if you use a Panel Item Background image (the one that appears when you mouse over an item), the mouse over font color is ignored. All you can do is make a mouse over image that works with that text color, or remove the image and let Windows paint a colored box instead.

Each kind of "skin" on the site, whether it's icons, cursors, or something else, requires are certain program to use it. Check the top of the page you are downloading a skin from. There is a Gallery Description box that tells you what software you need and where to get it. You can also find most of the programs listed here: https://www.wincustomize.com/software.aspx

Thomassen is correct. The purpose of Multiplicity is to let you control multiple PCs that are positioned around you from a single keyboard and mouse, but they each need their own monitor. If you want to remote control a PC and see its screen on your monitor, you need some kind of remote desktop application. If you have XP Pro, Remote Desktop is included. XP home includes it as well, but it can only be controlled, it can't be the controller. Alternatively, I think Sym

It's not a Smart Button. Just add a regular button, like close or maximize, etc. and change its action to "make window transparent" or something like that. I forget what it says exactly, but it's in the list of button actions.

I can't remember all the skins that have a transparency button, but here are a couple of mine that do. https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=4276&LibID=1 https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=4333&LibID=1

There are no settings in WindowBlinds that control system tray filtering. Windows does sometimes make me wonder how it determines if an icon is inactive though. You do have the option to always hide icons, if you want. I have most of mine set to always hide, except for a couple that I use regularly.

Tiger 2 doesn't include any icons. You have to ask the author which ones he was using in his screenshot, or search the IconPackager library yourself. It looks like he's using the Minium set: https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=1500&LibID=2 I would also recommend Snow.E2 : https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=946&LibID=2
