His 'n Hers Blinds
Published on June 24, 2009 By Mirsguy In Sneak Previews

I recently began work on a new WindowBlind I am calling 'Miricla.' This is a skin that I am making specifically for my wife, Brysgirl. She has not been able to find that 'perfect skin' yet, so I am creating it for her.

It is primarily blue in color and quite glassy. I chose the blue color because I just couldn't bring myself to work with pink. This skin is a recolorers dream, and looks good however you set the color slider in the config settings.

When I complete Miricla, I will begin work on 'Tinted,' which will be essentially identical in most ways to Miricla, just with dark glass rather than blue. Also, the Tinted WB will be made to match the ObjectDock backgrounds I have already created of the same name.

lookin nice, reminds me of Vienna, I noticed the frames are a lot lighter than the start menu tho in the screen on page 1

Only one other thing, You might want to look for another wood wall for the final screeny if you plan to use wood, that particular one has been used to death, even myself until I noticed it. I ranted about it on DA the other day, everyone and their brother had claimed it as their own, colored it, recolored it, stretched it etc and used, resubmitted. Just personally tired of seeing it used.. imo

Everyone gets their inspiration from somewhere. I of course am using it now, and IMO it bears resemblance to Vienna only because it's dark & glassy. Vienna has a lot more gray. I'm using more blacks. Though I drew some inspiration from Rapture, to me it looks totally different.

Part of why I decided to do this is because I cannot find a dark glassy theme that I think is absolutely perfect for my tastes. (Sorry John! ) Vienna 3 Rapture was the closest thing to perfect that I could find, though. Besides, I personally love the start menu on Tinted. So far, this IS my favorite skin ever!

Yeah, that was an early screeny. I have fixed that already.

That's just what was on my desktop at the time. And I agree, it's overused.

Thanks Brian!

Glad you guys like the cursor! It's been my current fave!

No, sorry to say it'll be a while. I kinda forced myself to take time off from my side work, so I spent the evening SKINNING!

I did accomplish a lot tonight, but I wouldn't expect this for several more weeks yet.

I updated the screen shot at the top.

Here's a preview of the finished window frame buttons in both the active and inactive states.

At a stand still with my customer projects for the moment, so guess what I did tonight? You guessed it, I skinned!

Made a lot of progress, too. Right now, I'd say I'm about 90% done with XP / Vista light.

Looking forward to this

Looking forward to this

Thanks c242!

After thinking on this a bit, I see more resemblance to iPhonix or Eminence than I do to Rapture, IMHO.

The taskbar and buttons underwent a slight redesign in order to keep with a consistent look.

I fell in love with the window close buttons after I finished them, so I applied the same styling and lighting effects here.
