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.

It is amazing at the amount of time, effort and skill that is required.


Not always...but like NT says...I make stuff hard.  

'rusty'is cool seldomseen, and hot,steaming hot.

Hi Leo,John.  
Same trick but using the advanced mode hsl coloring to get the bars to stay gold.(that odd little button next to the hue slider)

first off--thank you for the privilege of taking us all into your creative process...it's an honor. truely eye opening and very enjoyable. i do have one question though, why the square close,max,min buttons? with everything else being so rounded and curvey they kind of stick out to me. but, i've never made a skin of any kind so who am i to say. i was just wondering. this is one of the most unique skins i've seen, i'm eagerly anticipating it's release.

again, thanks for giving us all a peak into the process.

More advanced hsl coloring in WB config...nice feature they added there.Actually capable of desaturating a single color and leave the bars at full saturation.

When you finally release the WB with it be with different colors, (Blue, Green, Gray) or will you provide instructions on how to change the color? Yeah I know it's probably easy to change the color, I'm just thinking of folks like me with thick skulls!!!

There will be blue and white...I'll have some screeny insets on what the other colors look like in WB config.(the slider positions)That way you should be able to replicate some of the neater looks.
There was gonna be a seperate grey substyle but WB config nailed the look I wanted without messing up the bar colors...white is the only color you cant get out of a blue skin so it will be a substyle.
