[quote]Another question Dani...does the progress effect lay on top of the buttons or replace the button?[/quote] As far I can see it replaces parts until completion (when totally replace) [quote]Also...I wonder if this masking will work in other areas like the mouseover flash and the progress bar flash?[/quote] The flashing state does not use the masking+glow but if the button is a group, the sub-buttons that paint on right side and behind will use the mask

IR: . All Programs does not have expand mode and when expanding it will stay all on the left, the trick to avid graphic issues is keep the first pixels from the right side of your start panel on the left side graphics if you know what I mean. . the taskbar buttons glow, the glows paint behind the taskbar buttons, so you need to make the buttons semi transparent to see it. . about the search mode back/text colors, for now there's no way to change that, I wanted too.

The All Programs are has no custom Expand mode, blame Microsoft for that. . Sorry, yes the expansion code
I'm glad the doc is being helpful for you guys. . I.R. Brainiac: about the "ApplyColour=" setting, it will recolor the image based on various system colors, 2 means highlight colour, 4 means tooltip background colour,3 means button face, and 1 also means highlight color. I Asked Neil and he told me that there is the occasional use for some skin authors with that one. . About the designs choices, remeber that with new provided start panel codes, you can have the sta

Hello I.R. Brainiac, That's happening cause Windows 7 have new start panel parts for expanded and search mode. You'll need some new sections in your skin .xp file, I'm working in a doc about this new sections and will put here on WC soon as I get it done, I have all writed but need to add comments explaining how the graphics must be (number of frames, state order, per-pixel or nont).
Happy birthday Brad.

Could be a incompatibility with a Firefox Extencion that you have installed, you could try disabling the extensions (one at time) and see if help.
This issue only happen with Internet Expolorer based windows, this is not a WB issue, it's how IE paints the scrollbars. you can still make rounded backgrounds but then you'll need to make the arrows inside the rounded shape so it wouldn't be in the scroolbarck graphic but in the arrows graphic. Like in your screenshot: the other method: [ ]
Looks just beautiful. Love the modern look without being busy.
Ok, Fixed the skin and e-mailed back.
