K r o m e - WIP

er months of buggering around in C4D I think I might just be ready to try pull off a true Chrome windowblind.. You know. not just metallic looking gradients and highlights, but real, rendered, reflective materials and about as far away from Vista as I can possibly imagine going, at least regarding material composition.
Finished.

Ahhh.....but the reflection?
John: This looks in all seriousness to be a fantastic skin! The blue is just right!

Looking forward to see how it turns out, chrome is a hard nut to crack. I think you realised it with 1500 c4d renders haha 
Good luck and ill be watching

Considering just greyscaling the entire theme, maybe,
...anyway, here's some frames, taskbar etc.... this might be the most difficult theme I've attempted, material wise. It's been quite a challenge so far.

...now that there is Klassy....gunmetal....lovin' it.....

Problem is its rather a lot of blue in the start panel.. and not many areas to insert more blue in the rest of the theme.
Unbalanced.
Anyway... wip... I might turn it into a straw hat theme..

I like both styles, and John, consider this one bought!!!

This will make a lot of the guys at MS very jealous not to mention put their egos in a twist. Who'd've thought making a metal blind that looks like the real thing. Go for it vStyler. You the man with the plan.

Maybe a little more blue in the gray...PDJ sees gray and starts the Confederate sh!t.
Can't get that boy outta them thar hills.
Actually, I do like the Gunmetal a dood deal...tones the chrome down a little...but I'm fuddyduddyish and like darker skins.

Think you're in the wrong thread, Doc. The air might be clerer over here, but the green and musta.... er, curry coloured stuff is over on the Curried Cabbage WB thread.
