Lovely . . .I will probably get this. Although I think the text on the furtuneball is hard to read in the screenshots.

Ya know . . something like this would be great for WC subscribers.

RightClick is badly usable with fortune windowblinds skin, because you can't see anything...

Sweet! Looks very nice.


Allthough, I thought from the title this article would give hints on the Vista goodies.

Woo-Hoo! Another premium suite! Keep 'em coming . . . especially with level of quality!

sorry . . . might just be me but I can't figure out how to change the size of the 8ball

@ Citizen Darken.. with some color combinations its almost impossible to match all menu colors, a sacrifice has to me made in one area or another. Im sure that lil problem will be remedied in newer versions of WB,. Hopefully by vista format!

@ Citizen vStyler: Thanx for the reply.

Any chance for a skinned box (tool windows) in Photoshop? And, standard icons?

Thanx in advance, nice theme.

Took me a little bit to figure out the ball resize as well. Hold the shift key and left click on the ball.

Love this theme! Great job as always..

Standard toolbar icons? Does it at least have custom animations? Looks disappointing. I think I'll pass on this one.

Very nice suite. It's just a shame that it's almost spoilt by the pointless gadgets.
8-ball? Mmm... something I can't live without on a day to day basis....
Weather? Yes the weather is a little chilly in Livonia today... it's just a shame I'm 1000's of miles away.
US only weather? Come on... at least advertise that fact and offer something different for the rest of the world... a calendar or something.

Great skin but the weather gadget is not worth it. It just shows a forcast not current stats.
The temp is just an average of the day. The graphic shows what it may do that day.
