That is really awesome VG, I like the start menu and the superbar
Dave
Awesome work Vishal, thank you. You have definitely raised the bar and this proves that the Superbar is possible and will hopefully be followed with some nice WindowBlind skins.
jeremydd,
You can use a program called "transbar" with this theme, otherwise wait until some nice WB skins come out. I don't think Vishal deals with WB skinning.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Vishal.. Its me "rakeshishere" from ThinkDigit Forums. This one seems like a better improvement than previous one, but i would like to know how to get Big and iconized taskbar buttons in XP...?

Kirk
It was great! I loved how it was able to blend in perfectly, even in Windows XP!
However one question.. is there a way to decrease the taskbar into a more standard size?
Thanks!
