It's like TORTURE

Thank heavens for windowblinds

Wednesday, February 27, 2008 by zakai1369 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

So I decided to finally try and start a windowblind today.  Started out working on the start panel. I can see how, without any real knowledge of the photoshop and skinstudio processes, it can be nervewracking.

So knowing it would be easy to just forget about it and go to working on other things I decided I would keep using my applied skin (default XP with just my start panel)  on my desktop to encourage me to work on the windowblind.

But the torturous part is that I stopped working on the windowblind, for now, about an hour ago and I dont think Im going to be able to stand looking at this awful blue and green for longer than it takes me to write this post.   

Guess I'll just have to find another way to keep myself encouraged to work on it.

vstyler also made a very important point, the best way to create yr start menu is to create the whole
image as one image, then cut it up into user pane section..ect. just make sure you cut it right, otherwise, it wont fit and be out.


Yeah thats where I screwed up. I made it as a whole. Just cut the pieces wrong.

Thanks for the tips everyone.


I need to just pick one thing and work on it. Ive got one Xion skin of my own I started, one Xion skin from I.R.'s NLL graphics, 2 sets of OD bgs that I did a couple weeks ago but didnt like the way they came out and am trying to change them up a bit, and this windowblind.   


But its definitely a good way to fill the time I have to kill in the winter months.
