Excellent skin Essorant!

I have purchased this but havent downloaded it just yet - dial up takes a bit longer..but I love the look of the WB and thats what I purchased - the rest is just extra goodies. I already know what to expect from an essorant blind. Im never disappointed.

 Is there a way I can fix this?



When I preview it in Skinstudio, it does not do this blue thing on the All Programs button that XP does.

I have this problem with lots of skins and it is one little pet peeve of mine.

No u cant fix that short of redesigning the all programs area. It doesnt show in Skinstudio because its a system mousover color , not an image. Some authors use a different method that requires a little more work and eliminates that "color block" but it can also cause problems on some systems.

As with a lot of areas in designing a WB, damned if u do damned if u don't   

You can thank microsoft for your pet peeve

Thanks! I didn't realize 'fixing' it could cause problems on some systems.

I guess it is a small thing that I can live with considering most of the skins I use are awesome otherwise (this one included)!

Well, its not so much a fix as it is a different method of designing that area.. and on an english system it would be fine. The problems only occur on some non english OS.

I wanted to know how well the skin applied to ObjectBar.  I am VERY satisfied!

Below is my normal OB with the right Start panel menu applied.  Beautiful!

When I see "essorant," I just click "buy." I'm never disappointed. My favorite skinner keeps reinventing windowblinds, and it's always elegant and usable. Just brilliant; thanks.

Essoman...I think its your best work so far.

This is my new favorite.  It is so pleasing to use.

Thanks for doing all the great work, Essorant!

I love this skin! Between this an Nuage I'm a happy camper.

I do have one slight issue. I like the vertical taskbar on the right, and when I put it vertically, the tray doesn't extend to corral all the icons. It's always an Icon short. I have it double wide in the shot but it's the same if I resize it for just one row of icons - it comes up one short.

Here's a screenie (I have the khado turquoise icons on in this shot. I think it looks great with the khado colors tool.)

I wasn't at all disappointed - finally got this downloaded and have been using it since. The weather Gadget is awesome - very different from anything I have and the WB is in my opinion your best..
