Evolution of a Masterskin...Slider XP

In the beginning...

Tuesday, August 7, 2007 by I.R. Brainiac | Discussion: Skinning

Never at a loss for skinning ideas,I was however having trouble deciding what to start after Knot Vista.
vStyler was bugging me every damn day..."so...what you gonna do next?"

"Dammit John,I aint even finished Knot Vista yet" I says.

"maybe a theme based on the SR71 Blackbird,...or something that looks like vintage guitar equipment"

Instead I went with a chinese abacus...go figure.

Well after a dozen different buttons,this is the best I could do to retain trans AND still look round.
Anybody need some unused buttons?

Not sure if that line above the taskbar in #62 is suppose to or has to be there....but I think it would better without it. Everything else looks awesome!

OK,I'm confused...are we talking about #62 or 63...?

62 has the taskbar grabber,...its 2 pix shorter than that now...is it ugly?

63 is just a reverse image to show how much shorter the taskbar is than when I started...and its being shortened again as I type...well not as I type,that would be difficult.

Good work Michael! #62 , perfect look!
(those grabber not visible on vista)
The new rounded buttons look better, and more beautiful the sight

IR .. any way to get the grabber 'attached' on the ends .. say to the start button and the tray ... similar to the bars that hold the sliding buttons ... only smaller?

just a thought ..
