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! 
)

You may have figured out this by now, but firefox borrows the background image from your favorites menu background if you have skinned it. If not it uses the normal menus. Open up IE7 and look at your fav menu. Does it look funky too? The favorites menu doesn't support transparency (i.e. if you have blank canvas around your menu background)
I know this isn't much help, but it explains the issue
Sorry I showed up so late, Bry!

Steve, I have no idea what it takes to make a WB.

Vista light substyle is 99% done. I just need to go through and double check some things... 
That probably means that the XP light substyle is about 90%. Dark substyles to follow.
Overall progress is probably around 80% complete!
Work's been absolutely killer. I think I can get this all done within the next couple of weeks.

Jim, check your e-mail.
Been feverishly working on XP Light. All I have left with that is to tweak the start menu and draw the toolbar icons. Those icons are my favorite part.

Vista Dark is now about 95% done. Getting tired! 
Reply #94 Wednesday, March 25, 2009 12:47 PM
Will the start menu differ with Vista Dark?
Reply #95 Wednesday, March 25, 2009 3:44 PM
Nope. Just menus, buttons, and a few other miscellaneous things. Personally, I think the dark ss is a bit more sleek. Screeny coming soon...

Ok Guys!
Got yours Jim...but need more for a Winstep theme. Need little buttons....arrows...pretty much the kind of stuff you'd find in a WB skin. Otherwise it takes longer having to create them to match. And....gradients with textures is torture! Keep that in mind!
Oh yeah....video card took a dirt nap this morning!
Using a old crappy one for now...off to bestbuy or Circuit city later today!
