Still trying to do a windowblind..

another effort...

my first effort and still incomplete...

and a widget I can't make the script for..trying to get the objects/icons to revolve...sort of a space saver/shortcut widget..(Those are not my icons, I am using some png's to test it with)

I won't bore you with all the walls I am working on. lol. This is enough.

Two things:
A new version of my rss reader. This one with add/delete rss, fast forward, rewind, play, change color, font stylings etc.

And a todo list. Yeah, I know there are already quite a few out there but I wanted to learn to make one. Once finished it should have a daily list(on top), a weekly list that changes depending on what day it is(on bottom) and 3 or more quick lists that open out like pop up menus (the three at the bottom corner). Not quite sure on the design, what do you guys think?

I'm working on some meters for Windows Sidebar (just getting started):
And also an easy-skin analog clock for the Vista desktop and possibly Sidebar too, is in the works:

Went through a phase a creating numerous file exploring objects, and of course, I've made my own original versions of desktop notes and calanders.
This is for playing a game-book where you navigated around a map on a quest. The object 'automates' the book and allows you to play in a point and click fashion and keep track of stats.
A tiny little file explorer.
Another gamebook playing object - links to the internet version of Joe Devers Lone Wolf game book series. Again, keeps track of all stats, skills weapons etc.
A desktop note.
Meant to be an elegant/professional 'paper/parchment' desktop replacement - has a working apointments and tasks ledger with nice calligraphy persentation, linked to calander, a file browser, and custom icon shortcut pages to link to useful files.
Another desktop theme meant to be more 'futury'. Lots of transparent panels and animation, the main central 'gizmo' is a hub to bring up various functions, one of which the animated file browser (shown) which auto populated the image viewer (below centre).

I want a skin that looks like human flesh. I want the buttons to look like fresh tattoos.
At this point I'm just trying to find good skin. Then . . learn paint.net. Then . .SKS.
I figure I'll have something done by Friday afternoon.
