this pic shows that the actual start menu items are blank grey ala windows classic. same grey menu comes up when right clicking inside a window. (eg. firefox) although weirdly not when rightclicking on the desktop.
basically some show the semi transparent smooth menu that i imagine is what it is supposed to be, yet many menus from different programs and windows show the grey windows classic menu.
can you tell me if this is because of something i need to change in the setting.
oh and by the way this program is brilliant.
however i'm very picky about my skins and i have yet to find one on wincustomize that is better than diamond. i like my skins to be very smooth, clean and stylish, with nice soft colour blends, so they go with the typical type of wallpaper i like. (which are nature scenes, discreet abstract. anythign beautiful). a lot of skins are theme orientated and dont inpire me that much.
im basically asking if there is an easy way to refine the skins on WC.com so the results are more suited to the type i am describing, so it becomes less of an effort.

Diamond has the gray background wherever you go. It's the same in Vista.
Diamond was created to test the ability of WindowBlinds. If you want the fancy menus, try a different skin.

The Programs menu will always have a solid color in XP. The transparency adjustment will not effect this menu.
winlover I noticed you are using Vista and my rightclick on the desktop shows a different mouse over.
