ok i found that now...but when looking through different peoples skins (ones with glow) there are never any options defined here....so where do skin-makers put the glow option in? and how is it done?

There will be an image there if the skin has the glow effect. If there is no image in skins you have looked at then, without knowing which skins, I would say is not a glow effect but just the different states of the buttons that may sorta look like a glow. Glow is a image that is overlayed on buttons on mouse over, a mask.
If you don't have, download VistaXP by KOL, it is a good example of the glow effect. The Glass subs for WB5.

Ah, Noire is a WB 4.6 skin. Explorer tree, Window Borders, Titlebar Buttons - Free form. Select a button, on left under section tab, Overlay Image.
Is in different place depending if WB 4.6 or 5.0 skin.
I was only looking at 5.0 skins at first, my bad.
