Any of you into pe building might have noticed you can get transparency going.

Still haven't got full personalization working, tho.

Anybody know how to get that?

I can't say I do, SIW2, but I look forward to when you have it figured out! :D

Your Win7 PEs have been invaluable to me. Thank you! :)

Nice, SIW2.
Good to see the girl remains (I like that wall paper, reminds me I'm in an SIW2 PE :D ).

SIW@, I'm definitely interested.
As I have mentioned previously, Your SIW2PE has saved me more than once. :)

Glad to hear it's progressing.

We're all patiently waiting, and appreciate all your efforts.

Am still using the SIWPE Win7 64bit.

Sort of.

I had an attempt at it with rtm version.

Quite difficult now.

All the stuff they have ripped out of explorer is causing issues.

I don't think anyone , anywhere has got any farther than I have.

I ended up using win7 explorer instead. No idea how to manage wireless devices - among other things - that has been crippled too.

Mainly it works okayish.

It doesn't look too bad , I suppose, but there are all kinds of issues still.

Thank you for the update. I wondered about the explorer issues. If you make headway please let us know. For now we use the PE7 and I am sure it will work for quite a while. -WS
