Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Arrow by Mike Bryant is a must have, it has the transparent taskbar you're referring to.

Ecliz, Ecliz 2 Deluxe, Eminence, Optix (if you feel like purchasing it for $5). They're all good.

Here's one for ya GlassVistaFull by Vistamen WWW Link
There's others in his galley WWW Link that you may also find interesting.
Thanks for those links...he has some nice skins, although they are all very similar.
The GlassVista ones have weird lines on the system tray and quick launch that i don't really like that much & i am not a big fan of transparent title bars really.
I am not sure about the bar with the commands being at the bottom but i suppose that is vista style...it is not as functional as before as some files that i single click don't have the 'delete this file' option etc. For instance if they are a music file they will just have 'burn' or 'play all' rather than all the traditional options.
Also firefox/IE buttons are not buttons with his themes, they don't highlight when you hover over them, and some of the themes i looked at don't have a 'shut down' button.
Apart from that, very nice looking themes! I appreciate all the skins

Both my Vienna and Sexy WB's have trans taskbars, both on Maxstyles.com. Any of MikeB's trans skins are also a good bet for satisfaction.
