I love the gradient angle change effect when scrolling. Very ingenious. Keep up the updating. I am currently looking for some inspiration from your suite.

I was looking for launchers and found them! Just getting started, but I find some programs don't show their icons. Office15 in particular - I wonder if it is because the icons are in separate files for those programs? Can I specify an alternate icon file somehow?

Be careful with the hide/show button in the corner. I used to have it located in the top-left corner as well, but had to switch it to the top-right corner instead because of Windows 8's annoying hot corners. The top-right is a bit better for compatibility, but, can also have trouble if the user has extended monitors to the right side.

Thanks, I may add that option... Does Win8 utilize all the corners as "Hot Spots"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The only corner that is safe is the top-right corner. The top-left corner switches between metro apps, the bottom-left is obviously the start button, and the bottom-right is the show desktop button. The top-right, unlike the others, is a hot corner but does not spawn an overlapping popup.

HI, the skin is awesome, it caught my eye as I have been looking for a skin that I can view my files on my desktop just like the program files part of your skin, I was wondering how I could view the script for that part of the skin as I'd like a base to create a similar fileviewer

Thanks!
Look in @Resources\Menu folder for the codes for measures and meters for menus based on how many items.
... Reminds me I was going to make number of menu items easily programmable, oh well, I'll have to remember that for an update...
