Sol III WIP

Sol III WIP

from WinCustomize Forums

Here's the first draft of a concept design I started on today.

Mind you, this is an early draft which could change drastically as I go along!

The skin name is Sol III because that is one of the names for Earth in the ST universe and also because there are 3 styles.

Update:

Added stripes. Cuz I like stripes!

 

And the evolution continues. Gone, are the black stripes on the top and bottom. Simplified the black area slightly then added the colored stripe down the middle. I think less IS more here......details need to enhance the skin, not muddy the look.

Shown here with the taskbar. Buttons shown: Normal, Mouse, and Selected/Active State. Finally a comm-badge as a start button.

I am normally not a fan of dark Explorer window backgrounds but I'll buy this when it's released.

Firstly, I'm doing a light version of all 3. Secondly you won't have to buy it because my skins are always free!

Glad you like what you see!

What? I like the blue style one. Did I say something wrong? Or should I have said I like ALL the styles.

I understood what you meant, and it might be just me, but there is no blue style, at least not on my screen. It's green or teal if you like.

Close enough! :grin:  My fav is the red/dark, but I think they all look great.

I use a small app called MyTrashCan. Fully customizeable. Has sounds, and you can use your own sounds and icons.

The page is in Japanese.  Google translate is a tool.

If you have issues with a Japanese site, hit me up and I'll PM it to you, It is free.

Hey Jim I like that trash can widget! No problem getting it! Thanks for that link. :thumbsup:

Chuck, you can assign sounds from SoundPackager if you like.

On that particular icon, I added the trash bag.

I was asked on skype, so, in case you don't know, there are all kinds of free icons online.  .ico or .png work great!
