WIP
Making progress but a lot of work yet to do. This is my first blind so comments are welcome!
Start button is animated, but screenshot does not show it.
This is going to be a fantastic theme. Excellent design and detailing. Looking very much forward!
Any progress on what looks to be an excellent upcoming blind?
bump....
No, u cant change places bar text.
Couple of things I'm wondering about, 1. Why\how is the infopane below the commandbar (if it is via AVebuilder, you were correct in assuming that virtually no one will be hacking their .dll's to accomplish that so make sure to design the infopane for bottom of window use) and why the large void either side of the programs menu text entries... lastly, how does firefox\ IE look
The theme is good for your first skin, I don't personally care for the menus \ menu mousovers, the light grey to black of the mouseover is way too drastic imo. and the large strips on the left side of menus will lead to issues in some menu's \ apps.
I also agree with IR, the alienhead is rather an old idea and teh rest of the theme doesn't really scream Alien. A second sub. with a more standard button might serve you well.
Could be super nice for a first skin, keep at it Hope you don't mind some simple critique from a fellow skinner.
I like it! And the alien head, but I could see it being a second style. It is an awesome button. I like it as the recycle bin, the eyes change color for empty/full states.
that looks great look forward to release. I like it the way it is as well 2 sub styles maybe win win.
Wow.
There's nothing better in the world than 'new' craftsmen ....
Dunno where you get off calling this a "first", Heigar.... looks to me like you've been doing it for a while.
Yup, I'm with the others on this one.... very promising indeed and I can't wait (well I can, but why would I want to)
Sorry everyone that this is taking so long, but between remodeling my bathroom, family, work and studying for 3 exams to get my Microsoft Certified Systems Administration certification(MCSA). I haven't had any time to work on the blind. I am going to try to squeeze some time in the next couple of weeks to get some more done on it before I start on finishing my kitchen remodel (which is only new cabinets and countertops, I have already put in new tile floor, plumbing, and all the electrical).
Isn't living at home while you're renovating a true delight.
Good to see you! I wish I could remodel my bathroom....or skin my computer with this blind!! Looking great!
It is seeing that I am doing all the work myself.
Good to see you too, RedneckDude! I haven't totally disappeared from here, just really busy with other priorities and have had to put my blind on the back burner for now.
LOL....Heigar is "Skinning" his house, too!
is it done yet?
^ *doc thinks Snowy is disguising himself as BoXXi.
NO one could impersonate me Doc........ especially Snowy!
Status update?
Mirsguy - coming along , but the way win 7 skins I am finding out that something looks good somewhere and can look pretty crappy somewhere else ( very annoying). It is being worked on slowly, very sloooowly.(if only 7 skinned like XP)!
Yes, RD I know the is ticking.
Funny how perspective changes things. I don't even have XP anymore; that machine died. I dual boot 7 & Vista, but I never use Vista anymore. My daily working machine is W7, so that's what I start skinning first.
To me, 7 & Vista are pretty straightforward to skin, and XP is a pain. But then again, I came on the whole skinning scene when Vista was coming out.
Ahh well, take your time and do it right. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.
LOL BoXXi! jk'ing bud..... hope all's well...
YOU WERE BORN A GENIUS THEN!
QUALITY MASTERPIECE THERE
Those seldom seen parts of the OS always pop up to bite you...sometimes I'll be nearly done with something and stumble across ONE LITTLE thing that makes me rework whole sections...drives me nuts.
Perfection can't be rushed......hurry up..lol.
