WindowBlinds 4.5 additions

I've been doing a lot of thinking about what should be in the next version of WindowBlinds. Ok, maybe not a lot, but I have one idea. It's the ability to change the shortcut buttons in the Save and Open dialog box in Windows, to shortcuts of your own. Example, "c:\myOwnFolder\here\". Of course you'd be able to change the icon.

What would be the one thing you'd want to see in the next version?

You can do that with a tweaking program such as tweakUI.

You can also configure it in the Group Policy Editor:

Type GPEDIT.MSC in the RUN dialog.
Go to User Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Explorer / Common Open File Dialog
Double-click "Items displayed in Places Bar" and there you go.

Would there be a way to skin your "Alt+Tab" dialog? I was recently looking through the MSDN library and found this article. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/msdnmag/issues/01/09/hood/toc.asp

I'd love to be able to skin that window! Perhaps an addition to the next version?

I have noticed that the highlight and the text are affected by WB with some skins. In those cases often making the "Alt+Tab" useless because the highlight isn't visible. I have not, however, seen the background changed.

Here's what I hope the next version of Windowblinds can do.

1) Support tga or magic pink in the menus. (Come on, its there, please let it work)

2) BRING BACK THE TRANSPARENT WINDOW BACKGROUND! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

I would like to see the option to skin the listview and listbox controls with colors and/or images.

Oh, Id like to see that color selection drobdown button skinned. Doesn't it just look ugly sitting there next to all of that skinned stuff????

A maximizable WBconfig that would allow the start menu to be visible in the skin preview.

1) Support for 32x32 toolbar icons like Yz Toolbar
2) Being able to skin the warning/confirm dialog box icons
