Pressurized WIP

Sunday, May 24, 2009 by Xiandi | Discussion: Sneak Previews

I saw the Pressurized DX Theme from Redneckdude/PDJ and wanted to make a blind from it. I just knew the graphics would make a great start menu. You can get it here.

The gauge and the knob on the start menu are animated, and at some point on this project, I'm going to try my hand at animated steam...wish me luck.

BIG... It's turning into one awesome blind. Is there a Win7 in there somewhere

  I've heard that Vista blinds work in W7. I dont have W7 and really dont plan on getting it any time soon.

Honestly, I'm really not looking forward to skinning for XP, Vista and 7, all for one windowblind...it's going to be like making 3 blinds every time. As it is, this one is two styles and the plan is to make them for XP and Vista, so there will be 4 blinds in this one....

Most impressive looking piece of labour and details are simply incredible.

Help me choose....

I really can't decide which way to go. Each one presents it's own advantages and disadvantages for the skin, so, which do you like?

I love version 3 from the top....but the top version is way cool also...You, my dear, are a super skinner! You read my mind with these. Completely!

This is a really fantastic skin, Xiandi!  I love all the little details.  Your skinning skills are amazing.

Wooow! Amazing work!! I think the first one is a bit too dark, and those with the yellowish green tone would probably annoy me, they look a bit too chemical waste-ish. So number 3 or number 5 are my votes.

#2 and #3

 

#3 looking most realistic, IMO

Xiandi for Journeywoman ... motion seconded!

The only thing that'll limit things in the start panel will be the hardcoded print. Rats on hardcoding!

Might have to go with 'white' if you do the darker rust...

What great art, Xiandi! This just keeps getting better and better. [e digicons]:karma:[/e]

You've definitely got an eye for detail. #3 is closest to the real thing. And I agree with Doc......

Any progress?  I'm eager to try this one [and I want ALL the substyles more than the base skin  ](and show it to everyone who say creative skinning is dead.  )

I have all the rusty Vista parts in, but I'm sure there are things that need tweaking.

Work on this will be delayed for a week or two because I am moving to a new place on the 1st. It's amazing how much junk you accumulate in just a few years.

Zu, if you would like me to send you what I have so far, so you can test it, I'd be happy to. It's still just for Vista so far. After I move, I will start the XP substyles.
