Added 30 different background textures including no texture, wet paint, various marbles, and ice effects.
Added support for 3 additional titlebar buttons on per pixel skins. These support rollup, help, always on top and command buttons.

Added additional glass explorer sections. These will show up in future.

I wish they would do that too, no one seems to update the history in Impulse on releases of late. (

As we use an explorer background that is anything other than the default background provided by the skin, we can not open windows update in vista and be able to read the text in the windows update window. Other than that, this update if great. Thank you!!
