Been gone a while, but he's back. Since I began skinning another theme, I've come up with the following (so far) -

Transparent NextStart startbar clock background, instead of button background, and control on positioning; seperate font and color controls. Higher text offset setting than -9 or 9.

Animation for mouse over of NextStart start and task button, and WorkShelf tabs.

Ability to run WorkShelf without Nexus.

Systray in WorkShelf.

Transparency setting for task buttons in NextStart startbar.

Transparency in NextStart menu within WorkShelf.

Another one - ability to skin shelf meters.

Need type and size for text in weather forecast module to match text in other WorkShelf modules.

Ability to skin the Balloon Info window.
