First of all this is my first window skin and is based off of vista's windows. Now here it is

Important Note!
If you use this window skin use this script or else
text will blend in with the background.
Spoiler: ShowHide
class Window_Base
 def normal_color
   return Color.new(0, 0, 0, 255)
 end
 def system_color
   return Color.new(0, 0, 0, 255)
 end
end


Post pictures of other windows' windows. Like paste a photo of windows xp window or photos of the windows using another theme.

Dude :V:, post some spoilers of in-game usage so we can check it out.
I don't wanna have to save the file and insert a script just to use a windowskin.

Looks interesting though, but I can' t say for sure without seeing it in-game.

Very generic, but it gets the job done anyway.

There's a lot of OS Windowskins back in RPG2000 and '03. It's good to see something like this move on to XP. At some points, it does look a bit Paint-like, but that's all right.

Biggest suggestion ever...Aeroglass Window skin. <3

What's osu!? It's a rhythm game. Thought I should have a signature with a working rank. ;P It's now clickable!
Still Aqua's biggest fan (Or am I?).

I second...all you gotta do is work with transparency and semi-transparency

Rule 2: ShowHide
Quote from: Rule No.2Keep your signatures at reasonable size. The pictures in your signature may altogether be no more than 200kB and take up an area of 1600px2. That means 2 pictures of 400x200 are fine, one picture of 800x200 is fine and so on. Also your pictures height must not exceed 200 pixels, width can be as big as you want as long as your pictures match the other criteria. Every signature not matching this criteria is a subject of the moderator team to remove and leave this rule as message in your signature.

Well even that Vista windowskin could be improved with a bevel and some low fill opacity.

Thanks for the comments guys. I tried using aero glass at first and it messed up the border pattern and looked very wierd and choppy. I can however change the opacity a bit in photoshop to maybe give the same effect.

Thanks guys ^_^

Aero Glass requires more than just transparency, you have to have a gaussian blur and a reflection graphic. The reflection would be easy enough to do, but might cause lag depending on how you implement it, and you can forget about gaussian blurring at any acceptable speed in RMXP.
