Reply to Unfinished skins. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Scarebear is correct. You use the noise filter. It also is what a lot of people use for the brushed metal effect, which is produced using the noise filter, then a motion blur. Using a Guassian blur produces a nice texture too. Worth experimenting with.

You need to unlock the taskbar by right-clicking it and selecting that option from the menu, then you can drag the sections to resize and reposition them how you want them to be.

In the current alpha state, non-translucent borders are a requirement, to maximise backwards compatability. Also, tool windows still use those for their borders, instead of per-pixel. So new skins developed for WB5 are very likely to still work ok on 4.x.

Reply to OS DX for Windows in Requests WinCustomize Forums

There's a good OSX theme available for DX already, i think it's called SophOS or something similar. It's a pretty good replica right down to a dashboard-widget bar at the bottom and a dock.
