2nd blind attempt
Published on February 3, 2009 By Mirsguy In Sneak Previews

I began this new theme about 3 weeks ago.

I wanted to do a dark skin, but I didn't want to do glass. Glass can be over done. I wanted something more original. Also, I didn't want to do the black/blue combo. Though those colors look great together, once again, it can be over done.

Then I began to think back to when I first bought WindowBlinds... how I searched for a carbon fibre skin, and was left wanting...

When complete, this theme will also include ObjectDock backgrounds, a RightClick, and possibly a cursor (if I get the guts! )

Oh wow. That star button it's awesome. Can't get better then that

You got it! This looks super. It also has a far more "elegant" feel, Mg!

WELL DONE: You nailed it!

Yeah, gotta admit that the orb takes it again. Gotta save that "anti-orb" stuff for another skin, I guess!

Thanks for your input, everyone! Now to perfect the animation on the start button.

I would say that the Metal (light) substyle on Vista is about 75% done.

Agreed.

I think the start button needs centered horizontally?

Dang you, V! I had already caught it and was hoping no one else would.

It's actually already fixed. Just in the process of fine tuning the animation. It also doesn't help that I have actual WORK to do tonight. No skinning for me until tomorrow night.

 

Seriously, though. Your eye for detail and desire for excellence motivates me. Thank you.

Agreed.

Having never made a blind, I was thinking the design of the button is awesome. Placement never occured to me...lol.

I likes. The start menu looks especially nice. Very well done.

wow.......100 times better.......... i love it. i know the orb has been done, and its been done by so many, but if you twist it your way to your style like you have done, it looks nothing like the original vista orb 

 

 looks so awsome................!!!!

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! I also appreciate the constructive criticism, as it has helped in a few areas (like the start button).

As far as progress goes--I'm probably 85% done with the Vista light substyle. Then I'll have to make the V dark substyle, then the XP versions...

Total progress is probably around 60% complete.

Oh, and I decided not to animate the start button. Seemed like overkill.

on Feb 26, 2009

I love that start button, Mirsguy!
