Hmm, I might get it. Probably only if I get the Enhanced version.

I cant wait....
I'm using Style-XP right now, but it expire's soon. I think I'll give this a try when it comes out.

Nice, but why are they refering to it as "glass"? By the screenshot its just transparency, there isnt any blurring.

I hope it doesn't bog down the system with anything stupid.

It probably will. On that thread it says something about fload.exe loading slow (3-4 seconds).
One person said "Now if the skin could load instantly on startup, that would be nice" Mine already does that

When someone says that one of these skinning programs is "bloated" ask yourself this, "how much bloat is involved in loading a bitmap from the hard disk and blitting it onto the screen"? To put things in perspective, WindowBlinds uses less memory than notepad.
