hi there, i'm new to the community, i got this wonderfull program, and I'm super excited. I saw my friend with it, and I knew I had to have it, thing is .. is he had this them called Dreamland, which I've downloaded and installed. And his windows, on the borders .. were transparent. The only thing thats transparent about my theme is the start menu, all my windows that I open up are all light blue on the edges, and not clear. How do I enable this? when i right click on my desktop-properties-advanced-colors, there are 3 choices for dreamland, dreamland_wb4, dreamland_wb5_top, and none of these enable this feature. How do I get this? And should I be using the hyperpaint?

Are you using the trial version? That only supports per pixel borders on the included skins, other WB5 skins won't have transparency, you'll need the full version for that.

ahhh, I'm using the WB4.6 enhanced ... that's why I guess, time to upgrade. I got this a long time ago, just haven't gotten around to installing it till now, and now there's already a version 5.

I just got 5 and everything is fine, thanks!
