Creating this skin I would like to convey a deeper impression of glass properties. I suppose that I succeed as much as technical side allows.

Guz Roman.

A very pretty skin. Well done. Only one problem.... spin button up & down arrows aren't working :-(

Also - if I could just make the tiniest criticism.... it would be nice if radio buttons (when selected) could be just slightly more distinguishable. On a hi-res monitor (where the radio buttons are small) it's quite difficult to tell whether they're selected or unselected. A fantastic looking skin though...!

One more thing I noticed yesterday.... I don't know if it's a general problem or if it's only affecting me - but let's say I have a dialog box with a combobox control. Normally, it looks like the combobox in the above image (grey button, grey background, white text). However, if I click on the button (which drops down the list ctrl) the list box has a white background (or maybe it's a whitish-blue) instead of grey; in other words, very light text on the same colour background, which makes the list ctrl look empty.

This is very well done - but you have to realize what they're doing with the transparencies. A standard Form or Dialog will be painted with the darker slate background, and the borders on the ComboBoxes, ListViews, TreeViews, etc. will have a Glass effect (being slightly darker.) That's Cool!

Because these borders (and sliders) are not opaque, if you happen to put a control on a background that wasn't skinned, it looks like crap. An easy fix is to put a GroupBox (or maybe a blank Picture Box) in the background to get the Form repaint.

In any event, this one was my favorite using the new transparecies.

Guz, your skin looks fantastic but is there any date yet for fixing the various problems (see below) ? I could send you a screen-shot if that would help.

P.S. My suggestion for the radio button problem is that, when selected, they could acquire a cyan coloured border (same colour as the cyan button text when mouse cursor is over a conventional button).

I'm terribly sorry, but I've discovered a further problem with this skin.... Let's suppose that I have a window that's been skinned using this skin - but the window is partially obscured by some other window (e.g. the bottom half of the skinned window is underneath the other window). Clicking on the title bar of the skinned window should bring it to the foreground, but it doesn't. Clicking on the client area works fine - but not the title bar.

I suppose it's possible that this problem might affect all windows with a semi-transparent title bar (but I haven't checked any others).

IT'S VERY GOOD
