Hey, Yuri. Thanks for the program. Is there any faq for creating skins for plugins? Even selected glass skin, it has non-transparent background. I'm using that in Win7 (searched for just a weather plugin like in Ubuntu, but found a complex tool) and want to make some skins to integrate in Win7 design.

Here some links to the skins specs.

As for Weather Forecast, it is the best way to make the skins take any pre-installed skin and modify it for your need. All skins are set of the images and ini file with the description. The syntax is quite easy. To make the skin transparent you can use the transparent PNG for background. If you have any question about skins let me know, I'll be happy to help you.

In a glass skin we have semi-transparent bg image, how can i disable inherited menu background and caption for this module? Is there any way?

Do you want the opaque menu background? Right-click in the menu View->Disable Glass or View->Opaque (depending of the TLB version).
