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! )

Quoting Mirsguy, reply 7Thanks everyone! I've been using this (almost) every day since I began skinning it, and I like how it's coming. I can't wait for the dark substyle!


But I got the impression that the start button was fixed?
It is. Why, do you see something I don't?

It's centered by the edge and the first icon in quicklaunch, shouldn't it be centered by the edge and the first toolbar divider?

*shrugs* Maybe it's just me...

No, not just you...it was noted (on p. 2) and Mg said he was fixing it, I believe.

Maybe this most recent screeny is betraying me or something; I assure you that I have fixed it and it is perfectly centered. I have examined it in Photoshop and also in use.

Mg...This one's gonna take over for Prowler WSX...until WebGizmos gets the courage to ask you for permission to do the Winstep Extreme version

All he's gotta do is ask...

OH! I see now!

I believe the issue before was how the carbon fibre orb was positioned on top of the metal ring. That is fixed.

You are talking about the horizontal positioning of the button as a whole. My start button is in the default position, however I can move it...

I say put it where it is most pleasing, artistically to you, Mg.

I see how it is...!

WebGizmos, you have my permission to make a Winstep matching skin. I'll get you files when I'm closer to being done.

I wholeheartedly agree.

I'm in no way sure that my way would be any better than it is.

You can always change it after downloading it. I'm not sure your way isn't "better", for you...and that's OK (as long as you don't publish it...LOL)

Any images you have will help get he process started...it's not like docks that I can whip out in a few minutes...these take a few days or more. So when your up to it send me what you got...working skin or not...images are just fine. Psds...pngs...whatever.

Haven't seen anything but the docks in progress yet...when you have a finished skin or images send them along so I can see what I have to work with.

Where have you been? The entire suite has been in the galleries for days. Docks, walls, logon, boot, cursor,xion, and DX theme...lol. RC skin on the way. I'll send you some psd's.    Meanwhile....https://forums.wincustomize.com/341328
