I opened the PSD files in Gimp 2.4.6 and see only two blue frames. (in 2x2_Widget_Frame_portrait.psd, the layers are called "inner edge", "bg- shadow", and "Layer 2"). It does not look like the Standard Widget Frames displayed (white frames with gray border / shadow).
Is this how it is supposed to look? Or do the PSD files only show dimensions, and one has to fill the blue frames by oneself?
