Any progress on what looks to be an excellent upcoming blind?

No, u cant change places bar text.

Couple of things I'm wondering about, 1. Why\how is the infopane below the commandbar (if it is via AVebuilder, you were correct in assuming that virtually no one will be hacking their .dll's to accomplish that so make sure to design the infopane for bottom of window use) and why the large void either side of the programs menu text entries... lastly,  how does firefox\ IE look

The theme is good for your first skin, I don't personally care for the menus \ menu mousovers, the light grey to black of the mouseover is way too drastic imo. and the large strips on the left side of menus will lead to issues in some menu's \ apps.

I also agree with IR,  the alienhead is rather an old idea and teh rest of the theme doesn't really scream Alien. A second sub. with a more standard button might serve you well.

Could be super nice for a first skin, keep at it Hope you don't mind some simple critique from a fellow skinner.

that looks great look forward to release. I like it the way it is as well 2 sub styles maybe win win.

Sorry everyone that this is taking so long, but between remodeling my bathroom, family, work and studying for 3 exams to get my Microsoft Certified Systems Administration certification(MCSA). I haven't had any time to work on the blind. I am going to try to squeeze some time in the next couple of weeks to get some more done on it before I start on finishing my kitchen remodel (which is only new cabinets and countertops, I have already put in new tile floor, plumbing, and all the electrical).

Good to see you! I wish I could remodel my bathroom....or skin my computer with this blind!!  Looking great!

LOL....Heigar is "Skinning" his house, too!

Mirsguy - coming along , but the way win 7 skins I am finding out that something looks good somewhere and can look pretty crappy somewhere else ( very annoying). It is being worked on slowly, very sloooowly.(if only 7 skinned like XP)!

Yes, RD I know the is ticking.

LOL BoXXi! jk'ing bud..... hope all's well...

Those seldom seen parts of the OS always pop up to bite you...sometimes I'll be nearly done with something and stumble across ONE LITTLE thing that makes me rework whole sections...drives me nuts.
