Thanks, John 
I'm sure Jim will be here shortly asking where the pinstripes are.
My initial draft image had vertical pinstripes running through the black areas.
It looked great in PS, but I ran into huge alignment issues on the window frames. I had to admit defeat in the end......if there is a way to make it work, it must be beyond my skill level because I worked for several days trying to make it all line up.

Hell, if you want pinstripes, use a wallpaper with stripes on it!

So did I.
The problem with them was the fact that the titlebar and right side behave differently from each other when resizing a window. The right side is "static" but the top moves as it tiles or stretches. That gave me a 1 pixel offset on some frame sizes.
Just something I couldn't live with.

Will their be a user picture on start panel a lot of window blinds do'nt see to have them no more which is a pity then the icons in the the start panel are not seen.

I felt that the user pic would give it a certain awkwardness so I left it out on this skin. I've done plenty of skins with a user pic.....it just didn't suit this design IMO.
