Erm, my bad for assuming there were men here who "like" real women ;)<br><br>Maybe if I had featured Jessica Alba, Jerri Ryan, or Princess Leia I'd get a better response from you bunch?<br><br>Pffft... <br>

Something's wrong with that skin, 999. I can't figure out what it is. It's not that great.<br>

Okay, point taken. I had a hard time keeping the screen away from my lady's curious eyes ;)<br><br>So, what else to skin then? I've got this template, and still kinda want a hunny on my screen :)<br><br>I quite fancy the wisbar buttons, so at the very least, I'd love to still use those in another skin.<br>

Actually it is a nice skin, and very tastefully done. I doubt I could have used it anyway, since I don't use any third party apps like WisBar.

Perhaps you should use a hot chick from a movie, that way when you get funny looks you just say its your favorite movie and they think nothing of it. :)

999, that is tight.  The girl is aight, but I like the layout you done in it.  Very clean.  Oh yeah, how you get the transparent on the buttons.  I couldn't figure out the colors that made the buttons transparent and non-transparent in Wisbar.

Uhm, that's pretty simple, just give it the color of the background, that worked for me..

Ray:<br><br>Whichever color just so happens to be in the bottom left corner of your button image defines the "transparency color". <br><br>:)<br>
