• Now contains two Curtains Styles [One for Light themes and one for Dark themes]

Hi Nimbi,

nice project, looks really good.
The only thing I would like to see is the navigation pane also blured like the main window.
Would be great if you could do this.

Yo, thankls for the comments. As for the blurry nav pane, that would require custom title bar images. So it isn't really something that can be made universal with Curtains. You would need to make an edit of the style for use specifically with the theme being applied to that uses custom images. As it stands Stardock Curtaisn uses images for the title bar that can be extended further down. But it would override the MSSTYLE if the images were different than those used by the MSSTYLE so I left all custom images out by default to ensure it would be fully compatible with all MSSTYLE themes.

With that said, I have no problem with people using this as a base to replace Aero Glass with. It's actually one of the reasons I made it. So feel free to mess around with it and tweak it to whatever you feel works for you.
