I'm really digging the transparency of the glass style panels, is that level of transparency a stock vista feature?

Window blinds is great, i used to use that to make my xp look like vista. The file was called VistaGlass2.wba. If anyone wants to give it a go, i can send you the file, but you need to install window blinds first.

Do you notice the drain on your resources or do you have a powerful computer anyway?

Robbieboy, you should really think about upgrading your Vista to XP SP3 Smile

You have inspired me robbieboy. I have decided to use window blinds again, got version 6.02 and used the diamond skin it comes with, looks beautiful.

I have tried creating my own skin (i gave up) and it aint easy, takes time and effort.

To answer my own question regarding system usage, i found this:
Quote:
The program itself uses about 1 meg of RAM & 0% resources unless your messing with your settings in which case its 4 Meg of RAM & 1% resources."

Any change of a copy of the wallpaper, looks really nice. Very Happy

Don't use windows myself (except at work) but can appreciate the hard work you've put in to the theme.

Keep up the good work.
