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.

this is going to look great on xp but with the limitations along the bottom of the vista start menu, it won't look so hot, i'm afraid. with that said, i'll definitely get this and run it on my installation of xp. you've a very unique style, IRB. keep up the great work.

yah,Veesta will require a total rework.Its not enough these days to skin XP with 4 substyles...now you gotta redesign the damn things just for a few Veesta users.
Let me know when I go too far...

You've gone too far....... hehe.... just kidding, looks superb!!
With regard to that taskbar grabber, maybe it wouldn't look so out of place if it was brass, like the actual taskbar? Just a thought.

I.R. does the grabber have to be visible? I mean can it be there without being seen? Completely trans. But still be able to grab it. I'm with WG, it looks out of place because of the way the taskbar is designed. Of course, as you know, I don't know wtf I'm talking about. Just jabbering. Superb work so far bud.

It can be totally trans but it does very weird stuff to the background...even turns black on some systems. 
Can always lock it.

The brass grabber works for me...looks much better. Invisible would be great...but if it doesn't work, not much you can do. But I do like the brass...
