I just uploaded a Beta of my new Glassphire 2 earlier today.  It should take only a few days before appearing in the WB Gallery.

Here are some of the highlights of Glassphire 2:

->It's a very colorful skin.

->Textures can be applied flawlessly.

->Features Explorer & Tab Backgrounds.

->Start Menu is part Opaque, part semi-transparent Glass (brings the "Glass" back in Glassphire, doesn't it?).

->Buttons and Checkboxes have an outer glow.

->Taskbar looks great both Horizontally & Vertically (even though they're different)

->Buttons, Scrollbars, Tabs, & Progress Bars really "pop-out" from conventional backgrounds.

It's only a matter of time now...
