Really awesome theme. Thank you. :)

However I found a small but annoying bug: For some reason if you add "toolbars" to the taskbar and set the icon size "large", it will increase the taskbar slightly but enough so that the open programs are not "touching the bottom of the screen" anymore. :/ , anything you can do about it or am I doing something wrong here?

OK
Bugged


Naturally this doesn't happen when you use small icons all across the taskbar, making it smaller... however since with this skin you are "forced" to use the 3rd party program "Tbariconblanker", it gets bugged instead and doesn't work properly when using small icons in the taskbar. :/

Personally, I really do like this skin more than any other of your skins, since this has the least amount of "aero". ^^
