Preview 2 (almost done! :D) SO not for download as of yet...

Updates:
:: Slightly modified Start Button
:: New Start panel, (gradient in apps section, lots of new things)
:: No "normal" background on taskbar buttons
:: New Mouseover on taskbar buttons
:: New shellstyle (May change)
:: Awesome, swirly glass effects (may be same as pre.1)
:: Perfectly transparent taskbar
:: The best X/min/max (caption) buttons ever. They're no longer white.
:: Caption buttons are BLACK on mouseover ;)

Todo:
:: Something with the UserPic on the Start Panel...
:: Maybe Change the shellstyle...
:: Maybe add some color? (Yellow? :P Suggestions?)
:: Change the broseui.dll (the explorer stuff)
:: Find out how to center titlebar text ;)
:: Other little hex-editing thingies... :)

Have any suggestions or ideas (or see any problems)?
Comment! PLZ!?!?!

Don't forget, :+fav:s get a a BIG :hug: :heart:

OH YEAH! Forgot to mention. The whole thing is glass on maximize. Just thought you'd like to know.

Hmm, looks very good to me. Nothing to complain about. Please keep the shellystyle, i like it black, smooth & simple.

Ok, one suggestion: the start button looks nice, but is kinda boring. Maybe it could be anything else than a windows flag... :idea:

Yeah, thanks, but when it comes to start buttons, my mind goes blank. The only thing I could think of is like a ring that glows brightly on mouseover... But that's kinda hard to do... but yeah. I hope some people suggest some good Start Button Ideas ;)

Will there be a basic version? It's looking real nice.

Yes and no, there will be a basic version, but it won't look as much like this. Itt'l still be cooler than the default basic though ;)

Ummm... I don't know how to make it for x64, but if someone told me how, I would DEFINITELY release it for you 64 bit users ;)
