Bold For Vista And XP

Updated Apr 28, 2008 by RobJK

Well.. Here is my very first skin. I am so excited to present Bold. Ever since I got object desktop I wanted a skin with these colors. I searched and searched and to my knowledge there isn't anything like it. Yes it is a little off the wall but that is the beauty of it to me.
Tested and tweaked by my new found savior, and i might add, a Phenomenal skinner Kittymalone. It is ONLY FOR VISTA SO FAR. I plan to make it for xp soon but right now it is just for vista. I am so sorry xp peeps, I have vista so that is what I skinned first. Don't get mad at me. Along with xp support I plan to update this skin, adding Navigation buttons, Navigation Icons, and the few things that are left out along with some improvments. I think i did pretty good for a first skin .I really hope you agree because I worked very hard.
The wallpaper in the screenie, "SIMPLE WALLPAPER", is courtesy of Pigland, A skinner at deviantart. Though it wasnt made specifically for the skin, It matches very well so i ask if I could include it, and got a big fat YES. So I am thankfull to you pigland for letting me use the wall . Piglands gallery is found here-Link
For you users who dont beleive in pink, this skin recolors to some very very fun and beautiful colors, and example is presented in my preview of the skin.
I just want to thank some people for all for there help in making this skin and most of all the people who helped me with the accual use of skin studio. Daiwa was the biggest help. He stuck with me for the longest time in the forums and helped me with many aspects of skin studio, explaining things clearly, patiently, and thoroughly. thank you so so so much Daiwa, I don't think you know how much I appreciate your help. Kittymalone, girl you are the best. She wouldn't even let me say nevermind when I had a problem. Thanks so much. You are a doll and an inspiration. Xiandi,vStyler,Zubaz,Brainy, Everyone thank you so much. This community is amazing and anyone who isnt shure about trying to make a skin because they think they wont be able to figure it out, the people in this community are so happy and willing to help in any way that they can. Thank you thank you thank you all.
Pleas people go easy on me I am sensative... LOL. I do encourage constructive critisism and any bugs in the skin(Which I have checked lots and lots for and havnt come across anythig) please tell me and I will fix it to the best of my ability. Thank you all and enjoy Bold .

Update(4/23/08) fixed the Typo LOL Thanks!

I've got rendering problems for the logoff buttons (lower part of the start menu). Also there's a rendering problem with the start button (I have to half circles above and below of the start button when I hover over it). Is this a common problem with some of you? Can you apply a fix? Furthermore a very nice skin! Really love it

Got some good things go with this skin. I like the bright color contrast with the black. Even with using the color changing with WB though, I don't care for how some of the colors are. Even SDC does not look right, some text is invisible. So its a great start, keep it up, you've got a future in skinning.
