In my opinion, Vista is easier, cleaner, and more complete to skin. I hope you soon discover this as well IR.
Also...translucency did not render correctly til premultiplied alpha was checked.Why is beyond me.The images didnt use or need that while saving in PS.
This is very confusing to me as well. The skin I am working on has only 1 of the Vista logoff buttons checked as premultiplied alpha and the other button ststes do not need them checked. The images are virtually identical. Â

Sometimes the text in the all programs menu (Vista)is truncated. Thanks to Danillo, the temp fix is to set the mouseover image text to OS default. After doing this you now are stuck with a bold font in the start panel programs list.
WE NEED TEXT CONTROL ON THE IE7 TABS PLEASE! custom code does nothing. On the same note, tabs (normal, not IE7)in SKS 6 don't follow the settings applied.
The tray arrow expnder could use some more control. When switching to double taskbar, all it does is center itself on the taskbar. I really could use the ability to lock it where I want it.
Push buttons when used in the example below don't support transparency (at least no skins on my system do). This is ugly in the ugliest. The push buttons look fine everywhere else.
