No. I think the theme creator is buggy. Your background did the same as mine, its top part was transparent, so I reverted to the theme creators default rolldown background for the time being. Probably I can't escape from manually editing the xml.

I haven't been using it for quite a long time, ever since I had to start using Vista, and BB had issues on BB back then. And by now I have recreated many of the killer features of BB either by free software (workspaces with virtuawin) or coded by myself (SecondShell window manager [link] ).
But explorer never will be such a great shell.

True, Explorer has many issues. The newer builds of Blackbox work on 7 and Vista, of course, and what's unique about Blackbox -as you very well know- is its ability to change textures and colors of ALL its components with each style switch. Plus, with a plugin like bbinterface you can create just about everything. There are LOTS of other things you can't find on third party apps, especially if you wanna keep your system light and your pocket full... lol. I am sure you will be back soon
As for SecondShell, just dld it and will give it a try. Looks VERY promising. Are you into developing?

You won't be able to use much of it, as those features are part of the BB shell. I'm totally not into developing, I just desperately missed some BB features, then couldn't stop for some months.
I have also included win-x-move features (window moving and resizing with alt+mousedrag), titlebar right/middleclick as can be set in BB, vertical and horizontal resizing, and some other stuff I loved in BB.
I love aero, and the way how firefox looks on it, so not likely that I go back, now that I have all the services (but the native shell) of BB.

Kudos for your Shell, it is really impressive. And you can't possibly have all the services of BB

As soon as Aero windowdecoration will be possible.
Otherwise I'd miss this look'n'feel. [link]

Lol... Blackbox could do this before Windows did it. If this is the look you like, then Blackbox was there almost 10 years ago. I guess you haven't noticed because it was mainly a Blackbox for Windows feature
