O.P. RE: VistaBlog Second Edition
I made VistaBlog because the only ones I could find were really basic glass effect designs that barely looked like Vista (ie: there is one that ahs a stripey background, with a glass front, that looks nothing like a Vista Window).

I wanted this to actually look like Vista. I can't find work arounds for what it ideally needs to do though. :(

Each method has a con. I probably need to really simplify it, so it is LESS like Vista, but still MORE like Vista than other "Vista" templates. :-/

One idea is to do it like other Vista screenshots. Have a basic content area with PNG images for the "glass" effect. Then do the black sidebar to the right.

One idea (although I have no idea how and/or if possible), would be to have the minimise button work, so it "minimises" to the "taskbar" in the template, allowing you to see the background in its full glory. That would probably require a hack in Wordpress...

Maybe I SHOULD cease VistaBlog, and start on something that has glass like VistaBlog, but is more open to change... ;)

Let me know your suggestions on what you would like to see... :)
