I really like this. Yet I'm wondering if you're using a custom theme for Firefox to make it more fitted for your theme?

Well, I guess I spoke out of place last year. I still use this as my default, although it is becoming increasingly more difficult. If only I could figure out how to add back transparency in place of the white; and everything would be perfect. With the latest version of Chrome, this isn't a huge problem anymore. With the current theme of Firefox, it's a minor problem. With Firefox's incoming Australis (curvy tabs) update, the white over aero practically breaks the UI of Firefox all together.

Is there anyone officially, or unofficially who could help me implement transparency as seen in the authors other work? It seems as if the white was just put in as a place holder as this was a rushed concept, but with no bugs other than this; it's perfect!

I would be forever grateful for any help. Katharos this is the first theme I have found attractive for Windows 7, period. Windows 8 is going to make things very difficult for me even more. I'd really like to be able to enjoy my personalization for just a bit longer. Getting this theme fixed, would allow me to do just that.

Thank you!
