[HELP] Danimator Border + Shadows = Problem

The Problem:

I've noticed that Danimator has achieved a very nice effect by doing something to the border of all of the windows effected by his Windowblinds theme (as many have noticed before me, surely). However, when paired with either YzShadow or WindowFX (with OSX Perfect Shadows), that difference between what is and what is expected causes for there to be a 1px (possibly 2 or 3, the eye can't tell) gap between the window and the shadow. This is unsightly, and (for me) unexpected. I really love Danimator's theme, so don't get me wrong.

The Question:

Has anyone modified or knows how to modify the theme so that the border is back to normal? I realize that this sounds much like a neophyte question but I don't have the skills in SkinStudio (or money to buy it) in order to even attempt to modify the theme on my own. Yes, I realize that there are lots of skins out there and that I don't need shadows, but regardless... I feel that the best possible look would be achieved with Danimator's skin and some good 'ol shadows.

Skinstudio is free. It might help if you tell us what the vs is also

"Skinstudio is free"

Shucks to me for assuming it wasn't. I didn't know Stardock made anything that was truly free (as in beer).

Also, the particular style in question is "Danimator's Tiger" (abso-friggin-lutely gorgeous). Sorry that I left out that crucial detail, I wasn't quite thinking at the moment. On a sidenote, does he have any more skins besides the ones on DeviantArt?

Also, since I'm probably going to end up fiddling around with it now that I know SkinStudio is free, could someone point me in the direction of some tutorials on SkinStudio (if it's not in an obvious place, such as the ones on this Google search)?
