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.

Stay tuned for the free preview at Maxstyles...the window frames got me a little worried.General leaning is towards dark text on the Start menu.

I have been keeping an eye on this thread and enjoying watching your progress on Slider. For my tiny two cents worth I like the black text better.

It's interesting watching this skin come together. It's quite a unique look and very creative. Great work I.R.. 
Actually, with a little editing, this could be an awesome "steampunk" theme.
Looking forward to seeing how it evolves.

Thanks peeps...and dark text it is.
Part of what makes it interesting,and one of the reaons I did this...is to show new skinners what happens when you let a concept ferment.(as opposed to slamming one together and uploading as fast as possible)
The difference can be something to see...and a little feedback from skinners and users can help you refine the rough parts.

Like the dark text. Everyone will shoot me but the window glare is great.

Incredible looking skin. This may very well be the first purchased skin I will make. I haven't had the resources to buy them but this one is looking to be a must have.

Leo it may not be talent...might just be a brain tumor.
Wasnt much of a wait MS Thanks dear,free preview skin will be ready shortly.It will just have a lot of leftovers from Plasmatron AI(figured that would be better than any unfinished elements being from luna)
Once completed and up for sale,it SHOULD be 3 skins in 1...white,grey and blue.(the white one is gonna be the best I think...just have your flushing jokes ready)
