k, so the concept was to get as far away from the last theme I did as possible and still be able to skin Win 7 completely and correctly.
I also wanted to make a red and black theme that took advantage of the dramatic contrasts that this color combo can achieve.
Devilish, menacing, provokative, I dunno.. thats what is running through my head as I throw this PS mockup together.
I suppose I will be doing a light and dark windows version as I dont see anyway around it...
...so this one may take a while to complete but here it is in it early.. fluid stage.
Oh and I may just keep the small branding text... cos I know would approve
will post updates as they are formulated.
I snagged that red off of the file you put on here. (The mockup) However, that part was flattened so I couldn't get any layerstyles from it. Plus, I think you've changed it a bit. Would you happen to have any updated psd's that have the correct look that we could have? Obviously I'd like it to be correct to match as best as possible, but I don't want to guess on it.
I don't have anything, that would help, as far as that config goes... that hasn't been merged, I think its just missing the dodge brushes glow that's on most all the red elements, I would suggest just brightening the red area a few points or brushing some highlights on the ends perhaps.
Fred, good one, will take a look at that, odd considering its just a rectangle, something funny going on there, there's actually two images, one a bitmap one and it may be interfering... hopefully I can sort it out. Cheers...
you think you've been looking at it a lot ?
Thanks everyone and Tom I tried few light shades here is what I ended up with.
.....LOL, I know You've got it burned into Your corneas by now..........vStyler walks into a suit store and says to the salesman do any of these come in solid colors!
Looking really cool Harley!
In the psd I got from that link, all the active red parts with the highlights and gloss shown in the mockup were flatened. Buttons, Programs list etc. I'll do what I can from some of the latest screenshots you've put up. Thanks anyway.
Thanks Natas, you pretty much have it nailed already
moving right along, almost finished with XP light version, I'm hoping to release sometime within next week if I stay on it.
WB5/6?
what?
WindowBlind 7 not included in right click menu..it's separated...oh is it Photoshop picture? [EDIT] i mean appearance tab...
Ive never seen WB 7 in a right click menu, Showing is a screen-shot of XP right click menu, light version, using WB7.
Fred, bug fixed, cheers.
WB7 is available to access in appearance tab in XP? i thought it's only there when some time like WB4 lol... very noob question
Lookin great John!!!
@ theAVMAN
The clocks look great and will go nice with the blinds, but they don't have the sincere identity with respect to the windowblinds true style. Would you be willing to make one rectangular or square clock using the start menu graphic? Then it will be banging lol
STILL GREAT
I like that idea, I can even do the gfx if ur up for it AV, would be a nice edition to ur vast array of clocks
btw, XP done, onto Vista !
pity I don't even have it installed
I'm sure you'll need me to test it in Vista for you, John.
*Sigh* well If must! Sure go ahead and send it over
I can test XP, Vista and 7!!
And you don't have to twist my arm....
No arm twisting needed, thou shalt have it, when....it... is almost done and needs a wee testy
I will post a shot of the DX along with the weather widget in a few.....
.....working on it now.
OK, here we go.....
(These will be uploaded seperately. DesktopX Theme and weather widget.)
Really cool Jim!
Very nice, Redneck! Solid!
Thanks Fred and Seth!!
Def lookin good Jumbo! , look for a WB ........................soon
SCREENSHOTS DO NOT DO IT JUSTICE.
I'm known for speaking my mind and I'll do just that...
That THING is something unlike any other, hard to explain.
What I've seen and experienced; words can barely describe and will miserably come short.
I'd rather use it in its undone stage than using any other finish skins I've ever seen and used. It makes everything else vStyler has done look trashy. I know! They are all masterpieces, but one day you'll all get to experience it. I got a headache. I did not expect it to be this good, even from a master of that calibra.
I may have said the same thing everytime he came out with a new one, but I guess I'll have to say it again (This time it's final). I don't think he can get any better than this. You know... this skin make me speak from the heart. This is as good skinning will ever get.
Don't let this skin discourage you from skinning guys. Skinning must go on.
