Can WB do this?

I've noticed some Visual Styles have a 'slim places bar'. Can WB (maybe skinstudio more accurately) do this? Here's an example:

It can be done, just nobody has ever done one yet or on WC yet.

Thin styles are pretty neat.

It's incredibly easy. Just make the visible part of the places pane thinner on the graphic and fill the rest with transparent pink. Then use content margins to shorten the text.

Plus, if the skin doesn't have a thin taskbar, you can force it to in the WB configuration window. Go to User Overrides and select small taskbar size from the dropdown list

Sorry about the link. I didn't realize neowin restricted them like that. I think some of you think I am talking about the thin task bar. here is a cropped version of the image to show what I mean.

I guess it can be done, but skinstudio and I are not on speaking terms. The #%&@ just won't listen!

Well, there is at least one simple thing that as far as I know cant be done with windowblinds and thats change the start menu font.

Looks good, Koasati. Care to post the skin so others can learn by example. OK, so I can learn by example.
