Problem with Brushed Metal Beta by Xero
Monday, May 1, 2006 by KyeAshke | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I haven't got any webspace, so I can't show a screenie 
The only way I can describe it is that some of the inside of a window doesn't get skinned, it's just a drab grey. The frame of the window always displays correctly, and some of the internal stuff (like the display options window) do fine, but other windows don't (like the inside of the welcome window on opera). It's skinning everything apart from the background, I should say - the buttons and everything are fine.
Any ideas? Or can anyone put a pic up for me to explain better?
From what I've read of the forums so far, it sounds like it might be a shell style thing?

Fantastic! Thanks very much.
Here is the display properties window of my computer, which I'm guessing is what it should ideally be like (I hope I can fix the weird bits round the buttons somehow).

And here is the load screen for Opera, which shows the grey bits.

Any ideas anyone? Pretty please with a cherry on top? I've given up using a number of skins before because of this, but this one is sexy enough to work on to make it work properly.
Thanks in advance!
