the trouble with these transparent title bars is that if you use white text, it fades out over a light color background, and if you use black text, it fades over a dark background. Too bad it can't be designed to have a partial solid background just under the text area. That would make all the transparent skins far more usable in the long run.

I would think what you described would be possible. Just have the alpha for the area under the window title (and/or minimize, max, close buttons) be less transparent (or completely opaque) than the rest of the title bar.

I haven't used skinstudio to know for sure, but I would guess that would work.

Other than the Darker theme, highly respected iconist Rokey has also made an light Visual Style called "Dreamland" together with another outcome, a transparent VS concept.

After getting kind permission from Rokey, I am now introducing this Dreamland WB to every one. (Permission file zipped)

DRL_WB5 version will only work with WB5, the original Dreamland version can be applied by WB4.X well

Includes transparent window frames, taskbar, Start menu, "Please Wait" window and a built-in window shadow.

Enjoy!

Update list:

+ Transparent maximized titlebar

+ Alpha blended shut-down dialog

+ New min/max/close buttons

+ Oversized startbutton

+ 3 substyles included(wb4,wb5,top)

+ Real-time trans taskbar
