After seeing the popularity of transparent themes in the past few months I thought it was time for me to put my own version of the concept together. Hopefully I can do it justice, and provide a high quality Master skin with my own take on it.
The basic concept is a stripped down, very transparent, very fast WB that is perfect for screenshotting and showcasing wallpapers
There will be zero bevels or gradients, all the buttons will be flat and designed to be more like a touch screen interface.
It will have a white text and black text start menu substyle for use with light or dark wallpapers.
Heres a small screeny of what I have after a couple of days, I'll try to expose more as I strip it down.
I hope everyone can get Naked soon
Oh lordy would you look at that!
Dayum!!
Every 30 seconds for me Sky!
Oh my god......
Is it out yet??? I'm refreshing this thread every 30mins
Hmm.. looks unfinished to me, no loggoff buttons done, navigation arrows and icons, someone better to get work, people are waiting.
Gonna be a day or two, no need to refresh every 30 mins.
V....Curtis just likes refreshing. It ain't personal.
looking so good man...everybodies gonna love it 5 stars from here my man
Just a demo on how the dark and light fonts compensate lighting from one extreme to another.
Nice screenie, Cp! Where's the systray?
Everything has been hidden
Nice Shot Curtis, Ive actually decided to lose the slight glass layer in the start menu, it was the only gradient in an otherwise.. gradientless, naked WB and was causing problems at very short start menu sizes.
Vista coming along well.... soooon.
You see that tiny little + plus sign in the lower right corner?
It's all in there in an inactive state bro.
My small way of shooting a blind clean and an excellent question.
If you notice, I don't use a Quick Launch or the tray clock either. Don't need 'em! With the stuff we use for customizing, all the system defaults becomes redundant.
Whoooooooooa! Wait a sec partner! I'm having no such problems on XP with the start chopped down to 3 elements.
Far as I'm concerned, you don't have to alter shit dude!
Well, fellas....V, essentially....I'm very impressed with this skin's capabilities. You should be quite proud of your baby!
Doc's writing a prescription for everyone to pick up Naked ASAP!
Nah....I'll call it "Naked Xtreme...ly"!
No Rx for you.
Ever.
Actually in looking at teh screenies and testing myself.. u can see the right side is whiter than the rest, also it will be touted as gradientless, beveless, dropshadowless, I basically forgot to turn off the gradients while initially designing\cutting the start panel.
It'll look just peachy, promise.
sniff!
Ok...
Good. Got the + figured out....start by right clicking on the task bar.....
And thanks for the help on my thread!
That's nice to hear as that gloss causes problems in OD and RocketDock (hint, hint)
Well that was another reason.
Well if you like 'naked' rocks so much, you'd feel right at home with a few sticks of jelly in a quarry
'Tis looking good John... but what else, with your attention to detail.
Starkers, you have issues.
This skin along with all the apps is gonna be one of the top sellers of the century, I love it, I love the concept behind it, I love the authors who are working on this, they are definitely on my top 5 list, even one or two closer to top 3...so Whooooooooeeeeeee to all the authors that are making this happen, this is pure bloody magic, thanks John, Bilbo, Messiah1 & Webgizmos for being the superb artists that you are, I for one can't wait to start tweaking and pinching on parts of this Naked skin.......... ......and now for my contribution to the skin........
gettin there.... in vista..
Holy crap, John! I'm primarily a Vista user, and that Vista screeny has me droolin'!
very nice sir...looking so....um...NAKED!!!!
Wohoho! Johnny that ss look awesome! Where can I get that widgy?
That screeny looks awesome John! I don't suppose it would look that good in XP would it?
