Lots of new features going in SKS.Nice.

Problem with one tho...SKS locks up when I hit the edit texture layer button in the font editor...but since there are no instructions,I'm probably just doing it wrong.

Had to kill the app several times.

I use Internet Explorer V8 more than any other applications and rarely click on the Start Panel. IE V8 has not been skinned since Vista. With Windows 7, very few parts need to be skinned as one windows links you to everywhere you need to go unlike XP, everywhere you go looks different. With XP, you notice the skin applied when it's fully skinned. Windows 7 Is mostly the Start Menu, Tittle-bar, Task-bar that quickly get your attention. With IE Icon link right before your eyes, you barely have click on the start button. Because IE still not being able to be skinned, it locks full beauty of any wonderful skin. I use of web browsing applications too, IE still remains the most used used one. I do appreciate all the work SkinStudio made possible.
