Skins
I also made 17 sexy skins for TrueTransparency Portable, you can download them all as an installer it will automatically install them to the appropriate folder in TrueTransparency Portable. Those with Development Test 3 do not need to first upgrade and then install the SkinPack, the installer will upgrade for you. Click the link below, or you can download individual themes by clicking here. You need to, however, extract the files manually to TrueTransparencyPortable\Data\settings\skin for it to work properly
Download installer for all 17 themes
1.2 MB Download, 6 MB Installed.

Note
I based them off CXP and Seven (the aero theme).
Release Notes
July 23, 2010: I decided not to have the skins folders copied back and forth because this can cause trouble for those who have a ton of skins (it will take a really long time to load/clean up after itself)
June 13, 2010: Fixed where it doesn't run after the first time. Sorry for all the bugs! 
June 11, 2010: Fixed installer.ini, fixed bug where TrueTransparency doesn't start up.
June 10, 2010: Initial Release
Other Notes
After you've run TrueTransparency for the first time, its going to save your settings to Data\settings. You add the skins you wish to add to there. I'm making a PortableApps.com skin, and I plan to put it into Development Test 2. If you wish to make your skin for it, I guess you can post your skin here, but it should be titled "New Skin" so it will be easy to find.

A few fixes:
This looks like a nice app. It loses the blur feature of Aero, but that's to be expected.

you can't always get everything
as for the fixes, I will implement in Development Test 2 (or Test 1 Rev 1, whichever comes first).
Two things.
One:
The launcher flashes the splashscreen and never launches the actual app, not sure why.
Two:
Online installer doesn't work since installer.ini DownloadURL and DownloadFilename are different it never extracts.
May the Shwartz be with you
I know what the problems are, I will fix them and hopefully have everything up and running in a little bit.
I tested the launcher 3 times and the installer twice. All bugs are fixed.
it worked. I tried out the different skins to look it over.
then I turned it off.
then I tried to turn it on again and no go
I rebooted and tried to turn it on
no go.
wah

how do I keep missing these bugs?
Ok, i just re-installed, and I tried it again, got that problem. Will upload dev test 3 in a few minutes.
See release notes for changes.
very nice!

I'm definitely auto-starting this program :), thanks for PAFing it, Pyromaniac!
The only downside to it is that it can't be exited from the commandline, at least as far as I can tell so far. exit, -exit, --exit, /exit, close...nothing works.
I don't know how windows will react though, since I think it has to reset the windows to how they looked before.
I also added some themes! 17 in all! You gotta check them out!
very pretty!
nicely done!

I originally tried to match the colors to the PortableApps.com Platform and I ended up accidentally coming up with new colors that I liked (my favorites are Oceanic and GoldAero)
It took me two years to make them... I started when I was 15, and I finished when I was 16 (had my b-day on monday)
Ughgh... should have told us that so we could celebrate it
I mean, its only my 16 birthday... no biggy
Nice website by the way
I can tell you worked hard on it
