Looks quite nice.

PS.: When did your host last feed the hamsters powering your site-server?
It always takes forever to load the screenshots. Even imageshack is faster - which says alot....

Thanks Snowman.

Not sure what you mean about my server being slow, the image loads almost instantly for me here, even with my cache cleared.

 

Anyone else getting a slow load on the screenie?

Nice looking blind

The image loads a little slow for me too, but not a whole lot slower than any other on this site.

BTW, I really like the little notch you have in the arrows for the log off buttons. Any chance you could echo that in the rest of the arrows?

Agree with Xiandi about the notched arrows, Tom. Excellent suggestion. Would look amazing on the left edge of the 'active' button on the taskbar.
