Dazzle Glass

A light-on-dark Dazzle skin with lots of transparency

This color sceme still has the "Dazzle" look but returns to a lot of the white-on-dark-background mode of the classic for most floating windows. In the process I discovered the wonders of transparency settings - having a big window blocking my view has always been one of my deep seated peves, appearently. Active windows are semitransparent, inactive windows almost completely so. Some people might have a problem with that but it makes Dazzle much more useable for me.
