This is the best transparent skin I have used and it's now hard to use anything else. Very easy on the eyes, easy to read, easy to see things at a glance.
Bug: The slider buttons are all broken, but it looks very nice if you replace them with the default XP ones as a workaround.
I put in my vote for you telling us where to find the wallpaper you used!

The titlebar problem is likely a failure to install the supplied font (try preinstalling the font from an administrator account?).
I have replicated the fault by deleting the font packaged with the skin.

Really, really nice skin - has one (and only one) issue which prevents me from using it as my default. This problem is common to several other skins as well (including 'ordinary' Ecliz, which I also really like), and relates to the illegibility of palette text in PhotoShop, Illustrator and InDesign (which I use a lot). I believe the author of Dark Aqua XP (which share this problem) may have found something that may point to the problem(quote follows): "Note:some stupid apps that use black color instead of calling "GetSystemTextForegroundColor" still look black on black (unreadable, e.g. Photoshop!!). That's not the problem of this skin but of the dumb4$$ programmers".
Unfortunately, I have not yet worked out a way around this. Shame really - this skin is great for everything else.

JJ you are the man. I am a fan and I send all my circle members towards your works. Keep it coming my man! You have a gift and a talent that no one compares to. Your craftsmanship, attention to detail and strategically blended placement of tasteful colors and transparencies and above all useability is the best work I've ever seen!
You are off the hook!
If there was a degree for skinning JJ yours would say PHD!

In response to Comment# 75 By Citizen Moore.Cash I had this same behavior and found out what the problem was on my laptop. Load up WB (I'm using 5.10 through the Stardock Update Manager) and click on the System Information section. It should say "Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins" about 5 lines down from the top. If it does NOT, and gives a long explanation on your video card not properly supporting it, that's why you see the buttons in that fashion.
I fixed mine on my ATI card by going to Display Properties-->Settings-->Advanced-->Troubleshoot and put the Hardware Acceleration Tab to Full. I had previously bumped it down like 3 or 4 notches because I was watching some videos that didn't display properly (they look all purple and pixelated) when the HA was set to Full. WB's System Information section gave me a message about my card not supporting it, but it was because my Acceleration was turned way down. You may also want to look at updated drivers if you have a decent video card as well.
As soon as my screen refreshed after setting it to Full, the proper icons were displayed, and it looks exactly like what I was expecting. Hope this helps out some of you that have had this issue. I just found this VS today and it took about 10 minutes for me to find out what the problem was on my laptop.

I absolutely adore this skin ... there's one major fault for me though 
when in vertical taskbar mode the black skin is always transparent. I love the transparency but I really do love your black skin - any chance you could correct this please? 10/10 if you can ... dribble! Thanks a lot for sharing.

Quite perfect design! The esthetic of this skin is good, which is not rare in my practice. So, good work! Keep on! 
Just one question... The taskbar doesnt working on the left and right side in the transparent version... its straight... not transparent...
Could you fix this problem? I hope, cause i like this skin, and would like to use it.
Please notice me about the result.
Have a nice day!

After using this for a while, I'd like to suggest that the checkboxes be made clearer, say lighter blue (or blue-grey) for 'mixed selection'.
When setting Windows file permissions, it is very hard to tell the difference between 'mixed selection' (light grey) and 'not-selected' (also light grey). There are several states of checkbox that cannot be told apart at a glance when using this theme and I find myself switching back to luna temporarily to be sure I have file permissions set correctly.

Great skin, but please see comment 135. Unusable for setting windows file permissions using the security dialog. I would suggest using the green and/or blue used that you use for dialog tabs for the different checkbox states.
Many thanks
