Venom - WIP

XP, Vista and Win 7

from WinCustomize Forums

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 X-( 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 :snowman: would approve  ;)

 

will post updates as they are formulated.

I think side titlebar buttons were lost when Vista and perpixel frames came along...due to the way maxxed windows behave...no side frame visible.

Sure,you could realign them to top but only if the button design allowed for switching from vertical to horizontal.

Thats all moot points...as top positioning is all thats possible on perpixel frames.Wow Jafo...how long has it been since you opened skinstudio?(or seen a blind with buttons anywhere but top) ;)

V and I argue and discuss every nook and cranny of skinning frequently.He has very valid reasons for the decisions he makes.(he just told you what they were)

So I'll just say this...in or out of the box,his attention to detail technically and graphically is unsurpassed.

,his attention to detail technically and graphically is unsurpassed.

+1  And this blind is no exception. The more I look at it,the more I like it. I don't normally care much for red but this one really stands out.

@WG. Sweet looking docks there!

I think you need to set your TileVCenter to = 1 for the left and right WG.

Ya think? XD Already done...that was just a quick screenshot while I was doing them...still doing others.  ;) And for the record Natas...tile settings don't always work well with gradients on dock backgrounds. Especially when you have dots/lines going from left bottom to right top...been there done that...real hair pullers :grin:

I've noticed that the section that doesn't stretch on a dock is always sharper than the section between the stretch.  Which I think is what you are pointing out I.R.?  The vivid white on the upper right of the dock on the left side of the screen?  It's something with how OD handles the graphics I think.  It's more noticeable on some docks, especially those that have a light color on the edges.

 

Unless that's not what you meant.  However, it is still an issue that perplexes me sometimes.
