Curious, If you can make a transparent start menu, then why hasn't anyone made an Areostyle one? Is it because it's tranparent around the edge and solid in the middle?

Thanks Meowy, but I was talking about the AreoStyle that you see in DX widgets. Clear around the edge and grey in the middle. Actually I think the Longhorn skin is kind of plain. It dosen't have any style to it. But with transparent title bars I will like it.

The MyLonghorn skin is exactly as you describe.  WndowBlinds can do Aero-style Start menus already.

I wonder if TheSphynx is going to create transparent titlebars for his skin.

I wouldnt be suprised if Mike's already working on one.
