Great

Good pictures

It is a real shame that the fast dial background is unable to be transparent as well, so that one could see the grass behind...
(see a cheat here)

at least the border is transparent.

How do you get those blue tabs, is that courtesy of Vista ?

what is the opacity setting on the logos ?

Thanks, I toyed around with most the top half of the logos I have to get them roughly the same size and level with each other and my amount of time for obviously goes down for the lower logos which I was never certain if I would keep permanently.

The logos are at 6 opacity normally and 20 is the margin.

When active they go all the way up to 10 and 0 margin.

Heres a list of what I have as far as the rest of firefox goes:
Aero Fox 3.6 Theme
Fission 1.0.9 (puts the progress bar into the address bar so I could do away with my status bar at the bottom)
Personal Menu 4.2.1 (gets rid of the File/edit/etc. bar and added that fancy list button next to the bookmarks star)

Thats about it as far as aesthetics goes, I have a 13inch laptop and I like to keep things as uncluttered as possible. No start up programs, no desktop icons. And yes you're right about having the browser be clear that would be sweet, because I also use Deskscapes if you know what that is. So the grass background is actually moving.

Thanks for all the information

Maybe you know already.
You can run an animated gif as a background in fast dial.
If you find a good moving grass one please let me know !

many thanks

Looks nice.
Too bad your maximized Window doesn't have a transparent border. However that can be easily fixed by VistaGlazz or else Windows 7.

Really?

Cool, I just got this laptop about 2 months ago and my Windows 7 is currently in delivery!

I have had Vista for almost 3 years and i always thought it was stupid that the glass goes away when a window is maximized
