oooohh can't wait for Tron theme. This theme works ok in win 7... start menu is vertically stretched a bit, and, while I love the techie backgrounds and formatting, some parts of the interface are impossible to read (which is cool if you know or don't care what it says). One quick improvement would be to give the window-shade, minimize, maximize and close widgets different icons. nice concept.

EzraS. Thanks. Please post a screencap of the problem for me not that it'll do me much good. You see When I put a picture in the start menu I've discovered you need to put one in that will look alright stretched. Because everyones startmenu contains a different number of items. Therefore is a different size. The only way to make them work all the time i to have a way to lock the size of the start menu, and just force the contents to ride higher or lower in the menu as the case may be. I would error on the side of a larger start menu. That way everyone is happy. here is a screenshot of Tron. 
It looks fantastic on (XP machines ONLY) Unless I can get some help making the .tga frames to work for me it will never work for other os's. I cant seem to get rid of the backgrounds on the frames. I've tried all I know. "Wich is woefully lacking" I can draw. I just haven't got this artform when it comes to the per pixel frames and buttons locked down yet. I've tried to place the picture alone on a checerboard (transparent) background. it comes back with a white background. I have tried to place a semitransparent layer of black between the background an the pic. useing three layers in the pic. It comes back with a grey background . last night I made the 2nd layer black. it's passable and it works,but you can still see the black underneath the frames. I don't know what to do. someone please help me learn this trick.
