OK...I got the Icons to load,finally.Now all is good,and it's a nice theme,and I love the color.Good Job.  

Wonderful essorant, very subtle...
A real pleasure to use.

Wonderful Suite. Great work, as always, Tim. My favorite part is the wallpaper. WOW!!!! It's beautiful. And I love the concept of the icons being more contemporary while the wall & the WB skin are more classic with the "Pantheon" theme.

One question, though. The first time I loaded up the clock it worked fine. I had to reboot my computer later this afternoon and when I tried to load up the clock, it came up with no hour & minute hands. Anyone have an idea why?

This really is awesome.

Still doesn't work and location still not found in the gadget ...   

Excellent skin Essorant!

I have purchased this but havent downloaded it just yet - dial up takes a bit longer..but I love the look of the WB and thats what I purchased - the rest is just extra goodies. I already know what to expect from an essorant blind. Im never disappointed.

 Is there a way I can fix this?



When I preview it in Skinstudio, it does not do this blue thing on the All Programs button that XP does.

I have this problem with lots of skins and it is one little pet peeve of mine.

No u cant fix that short of redesigning the all programs area. It doesnt show in Skinstudio because its a system mousover color , not an image. Some authors use a different method that requires a little more work and eliminates that "color block" but it can also cause problems on some systems.

As with a lot of areas in designing a WB, damned if u do damned if u don't   

You can thank microsoft for your pet peeve

Thanks! I didn't realize 'fixing' it could cause problems on some systems.

I guess it is a small thing that I can live with considering most of the skins I use are awesome otherwise (this one included)!

Well, its not so much a fix as it is a different method of designing that area.. and on an english system it would be fine. The problems only occur on some non english OS.

I wanted to know how well the skin applied to ObjectBar.  I am VERY satisfied!

Below is my normal OB with the right Start panel menu applied.  Beautiful!

When I see "essorant," I just click "buy." I'm never disappointed. My favorite skinner keeps reinventing windowblinds, and it's always elegant and usable. Just brilliant; thanks.

Essoman...I think its your best work so far.  

This is my new favorite.  It is so pleasing to use.

Thanks for doing all the great work, Essorant!

I love this skin! Between this an Nuage I'm a happy camper.

I do have one slight issue. I like the vertical taskbar on the right, and when I put it vertically, the tray doesn't extend to corral all the icons. It's always an Icon short. I have it double wide in the shot but it's the same if I resize it for just one row of icons - it comes up one short.

Here's a screenie (I have the khado turquoise icons on in this shot. I think it looks great with the khado colors tool.)

I wasn't at all disappointed - finally got this downloaded and have been using it since. The weather Gadget is awesome - very different from anything I have and the WB is in my opinion your best..

Can't wait to get home from business and get this on my machine. Anyone have a screenshot of this on Vista?

Nice to see you posting Micheal..

Anyway from what Ive heard it looks real good on Vista.

Hope u get home soon   

Very Cool! Looks awesome!  

None are avaible ... and above all changing location ... and BTW i think i can understand why: Location are found through http://home.accuweather.com/index.asp?partner=Stardock and of course those who are not located on the map (i think) can't change the right way just because for getting the good weather reporting you have to go to the "World weather area" and then search for your Country ...
Example, for me it's Paris, France (you know a little town somewhere with the "Tour Eiffel"   )... And here is the direct weather report for the nearest town for me :
FR012 Versailles FR though it can give the weather BUT it's not on the same website home.accuweather.com/index.asp? but wwwa.accuweather.com/world-index-forecast.asp? (when i enter this code in the gadget i get "location not found ...    )

Should it be possible to fix it in the scripting of the gadget please ???

Looks REALLY good!
Great work!
Cant really say how it functions though on my dual widescreen.
Paying half the price of windowblinds for a skin that I will likely change in a few days (unless I like it) just doesn't make sense for me. For those with the disposable income, you should definatly try it out. The authors (Essorant and Stardock Designs) have been around for a while making good stuff.

I'm glad you like the design! I was a little concerned that people might think it a little too 'stoney' with all that marble going on, but it does make achange for all the glossy plastic and transparent skins.

Very nice!
