The thing about Blurring and Transparency in WB6 is..a lot of Vista users , using trans skins tend to have it turned on to some extent, that or.. they have Vista-ize me...turned on.
So.. even if a skin isnt designed for these functions, they will still be applied to it when the skin is installed.. in other words, it has to be turned off by the user.. per skin.. or it will stay applied and when applied to a skin that isn't designed for it..or a skin that has frames that don't closely match Aero default dimensions [plain and rounded].. it can make the skin.. look.. eh.. really bad.
The Search\Close Search.. icons, should be skinned by you..two states. Your search box placement coordinates may be buggering those states up.. also... on mousing over the Search box 'close icon'.. the 'X'.. it also inherits a button background from.. somewhere.. probably the toolbar buttons.. so take that into consideration.
Glad you got your text colors fixed Fuzzy.. it's a dodgy balancing process but can be done.

i have blur effects checked and ive turned of the shadows where ever possible....so far so good, but ill get fuzzy to run it on his system when im done, to double check her.......
