We don't even know how Aero Glass looks like, how are we gonna port it? Aero Glass won't be known until probably the second beta (RC) of Longhorn. Most likely it has transparent glass borders, which cannot be duplicated in XP.

WB doesn't allow transparencies.

There were LUNA skins before XP came out, this is why I thought, that there's a chance. Yep, I'm touched by those transparent glass borders. There's a terrific skin for avetext using it. I'll post a link later, the aqua-soft forum, where I saw that is currently down.

Nice. That's what I'd like to have for WB.
Do you happen to know what's this sidebar app, and which skin it1s using?

I have that winamp skin frm Stefanka, it's brilliant.

I realize that it's not quite AeroGlass, but here's a start. You can use SkinStudio to import it for WB.

I tried using the Aero shadow in WindowsFX and these are the results I got...

For now I think it will do...

Nice. The Ave apps look terrific. Is that really not possible in WB?
