Carbon Fibre GTV: WIP
2nd blind attempt
Tuesday, February 3, 2009 by Mirsguy | Discussion: Sneak Previews
I began this new theme about 3 weeks ago.
I wanted to do a dark skin, but I didn't want to do glass. Glass can be over done. I wanted something more original. Also, I didn't want to do the black/blue combo. Though those colors look great together, once again, it can be over done.
Then I began to think back to when I first bought WindowBlinds... how I searched for a carbon fibre skin, and was left wanting...
When complete, this theme will also include ObjectDock backgrounds, a RightClick, and possibly a cursor (if I get the guts! 
)

Today I made an administrative decision: I changed directions slightly.
First, the name was changed to "Carbon Fibre GTV."
Second, due to conflicts over what should be light and what should be dark, I decided to do substyles for each. The light substyle will be called "Carbon Metal," and the dark substyle will be called "Carbon Graphite."
As it develops more, I will post more screenies.

Thanks, Bg & Deea!
I wasn't either, until some of the other parts began coming together...
But of course!

Looks good. I think the buttons shouldn't be carbon fibre though...maybe just a solid color. Just my two cents.

More progress... Next step is to change the window frame buttons to look like the navigation buttons.

Progress has been a little slow; Work has been really busy. But getting paid is a good thing... 
I'll send you some PSD's soon, Jim!

Looks great so far. Haven't had the courage to try a WB yet. Maybe some day...

You hit the nail on the head, Hallv! Sometimes it feels fun; sometimes it feels like self-inflicted torture!

The new start button for the light substyle... will be animated. I'm willing to accept constructive criticism on it; no one seemed to like the other start button...
