After doing a very dark theme, I enjoy using it so much I've decided to do another dark, but less dark theme, without the need for a substyle
I'm calling it Polaris for a couple of reasons, has rather a radioactive look and my father served as first weapons officer on the Polaris class nuclear sub H.M.S Resolution for many years. One of 4 Polaris class subs the British navy had back then, all since decomissioned. The orange really has no significance other than it is one of the better.. glowey colors and goes really well with a dark grey\blue.... oh... and it just happens to be October
Anyway.. so far so good, will post screens as I have them. I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of orange matching icons available. There are a couple of decent sets but nothing that matches perfectly and IP's recoloring feature is rather meagre. Bit disappointed on that front. Maybe a certain someone wants to step up
I see after laying some elements out together than some of the oranges need matched up slightly better... oh well.. is a WIP..It'll get sorted out... all in good time.
Cheers.
You have to go into IconPackager, and load the ZIP into IP FROM IP. Don't unzip it first. It doesn't have Live Folders, as you say, but it's the closest thing I've found. There's black and gray along with the orange.
There's another set called Orange Glass Folders by APB, but the orange isn't nearly as close.
That tile looks great.
I could use some of that. That's a good size, too. Maybe the doctor can dispense some of it.
Hey John, double post....
Hey John, Dubble post.....
Yah, C4D Jim, with a little postwork in PS. Its a massivley powerful and complicated program and quite a beast to learn from scratch without formal training. On the good side there are a lot of resources online to draw from.
I am barely scratching the surface. However if u have the time and inclination, no reason not to give it a go, certainly comes easier to some than others\me.
XP basically done..yay moving on to Vista... More than likely will not be doing a 7 sub until WB7 taskbar issue is fixed and I've had a bit of time to immerse myself in the other areas of 7 that need attn.
Simple wbconfig window preview. Click to see clearly.
dam looking good in vista

Too late...Spent the money somewhere else.
What was all that patience, virtue talk ?
It was spent paying taxes. They had no patience.
Just earned some more. Don't tell anyone.
But hurry before they find out! [are skins taxable?]. <--Patience Emoticon.
Taxable skins....OMG Got anymore of those elephant pills lying around?

I wasn't worried, Harley. I like diversity...lol!!
Even in its unfinished state I never took this off my pc...its even better now.
Hey John, this is HOT stuff! I was wondering if a little insight could be offered as to when you might possible start skinning/updating for Win 7...
Probably sometime around the new year, once more than 1.4% of the market actually has Win7 and the taskbar issue is fixed in WB7.
Reminds me of a skin called Envision by Dangeruss. I loved that skin, can't wait to get a hold of this one.
John, I had to reinstall my system. I hope you're not near done....
should be done tomorrow....
