Naked - [Noir] WB - WIP
Strip it... Strip it good
Wednesday, April 29, 2009 by vStyler | Discussion: Community
After seeing the popularity of transparent themes in the past few months I thought it was time for me to put my own version of the concept together. Hopefully I can do it justice, and provide a high quality Master skin with my own take on it.
The basic concept is a stripped down, very transparent, very fast WB that is perfect for screenshotting and showcasing wallpapers
There will be zero bevels or gradients, all the buttons will be flat and designed to be more like a touch screen interface.
It will have a white text and black text start menu substyle for use with light or dark wallpapers.
Heres a small screeny of what I have after a couple of days, I'll try to expose more as I strip it down. 
I hope everyone can get Naked soon

That screeny looks awesome John! 
I don't suppose it would look that good in XP would it?

well, it looks.. different in XP... still good tho I think.
Btw, I'm toying with the idea of doing a seperate Naked 'Noir' black edition if this one goes over well.

Regardless, I'd say a dark version of this would be killer as well.

Gets my vote as well!
You could call the 'naked' one shiro-ninja and the dark one ninja.

Tell me something I don't know... I was born with issues.

And I was born naked. 
Hehe... wonder if that qualifies me for discount.

Been looking at all the WIP screenies including my own these past couple of days and you're 100% correct about the start menu right side panel JG. So it is a good thing that it's being corrected.
You know I'm all with it bro, I think it'll be off the chain! The only problem is, I just don't know if I can take holding my breath another 2 years again waiting for it!

WOW! Love it Bilbo! I really dig Pixel-Z's Xion concept, that's hot! But I also think Messiah should bust out with his Xion design too.
They're both fantastic and totally different from one another!
Way to shoot it bro!

Question: For Bilbo, Messiah, WebGizmos and Pixel-Z
You guys are building all of the complementary components and after looking at Bilbo's shot I'm curious as to how are you going to address the fonts.
Will all the components have the same ability to switch fonts like Bilbo's DX or will there be a dark and light font version for each like the blinds?
I can only imagine that this would be a huge pain in the ass, especially for WinStep. But the true blending nature adaptabilities depends largely on the dark and light fonts to offset lighting, which in turn will give Naked components 100% versatility in any light condition, contrast or texture, matching both Naked WB styles.
Without this, you just have a chunk of pretty but unreadable glass on your desk.
I'm positive that this is already a consideration for you dudes, but this all came to mind being that both Xion designs I've seen have white fonts.
