With the up-down feature, are you referring to something like to photo below? These are called Top-down/bottom-up shades and we may be able to do them for a wide sliding glass door, but they're really designed for smaller windows.

I live in a condo penthouse and have a large skylight that is slanted . A large invasive condo just went up in my skylight view and I feel the need for a blind. On the windows below the skylight I have sillouette blinds and had wanted the same for my skylight but was told it could not be tone that only a plain blind is feasible because it is slanted. Any idea out there???

Yes! We sell shades specifically for skylights. http://www.blinds.com/control/subCategory/categoryID,63?height=60&width=36
