I don't know if any updated skins, there are a few new ones but with WB6, transparency and blur can be control from the WB config. You can create sub styles for each skin and set the blur and trans for window frames and taskbar and trans for menus and start menu exactly the way you want.

I tried that, the Vista-ize feature with all 3 skins but the blur is just not as spectacular as it is with Diamond.

P.S. still searching
ObjectDock - Access shortcuts and frequently used applications from an animated dock.

Same question here...

I am anxiously waiting an answer too.

Vista came installed on a new laptop I bought for my daughter but the O/S is not compatible with my anti-virus, firewall or printers. So I wiped Vista and installed XP but my daughter fell in love with the look and feel of Vista.

I installed the Vista Transformation Pack 8.01, but it is flakey. Some things do not look or work correctly; like the start button for instance. Not sure why. I uninstalled and installed WindowBlinds 6 and like the functionality and boot speed much better, but it does not skin the login or welcome screen and I do not know which skin is the most accurate and stable or where to get it.

I am willing to purchase Object Desktop and a skin if one is available to accurately mimic Vista’s look and functionality.

Is there a one package deal (other than VTP 8.01) out there or a good tutorial?

Any help would be much appreciated.
