Miricla & Tinted: WIP
His 'n Hers Blinds
Wednesday, June 24, 2009 by Mirsguy | Discussion: Sneak Previews
I recently began work on a new WindowBlind I am calling 'Miricla.' This is a skin that I am making specifically for my wife, Brysgirl. She has not been able to find that 'perfect skin' yet, so I am creating it for her.
It is primarily blue in color and quite glassy. I chose the blue color because I just couldn't bring myself to work with pink. This skin is a recolorers dream, and looks good however you set the color slider in the config settings.
When I complete Miricla, I will begin work on 'Tinted,' which will be essentially identical in most ways to Miricla, just with dark glass rather than blue. Also, the Tinted WB will be made to match the ObjectDock backgrounds I have already created of the same name.

Thanks everyone! 
I'll post the updates anytime I feel that there's something significant that's happened.
This one will support XP, Vista, and (hopefully) Windows 7.

Very nice!! It does look like it's going to recolor very well.

Ooooooooh the Wifey is gonna love you for this Brian
If that Tinted concept is anything like the docks, that's going to be off the hook Pal!

She already does! 
She's my main (and only) tester right now. She's testing it on XP while I use it on Vista. And she has a lot of say-so over the design of the skin, too.
As a side note-- just built me a new PC and installed W7 on it. Gonna try this blind on it shortly.

This is just great, Bryan. I like it a good deal. I also like the sounds of the second skin's idea.
Cp...eat your heart out.

Looking good so far, a couple of suggestions I'll put forth are.. on the frame and start menu top left lighting\bevels, perhaps try using an overlay or vivid light blend mode in the bevel section of your layer styles, it will give you a brighter blue highlight as opposed to the more white looking one you have now.. will make the lighting more natural. and 2, same thing with the Horiz. grad in the start menu, might benefit from being more light blue than whiter color it is now.... perhaps. 
Hope this helps Brian.

hey CP, even VS had to start somewhere, his first skins were no where near as polished as his recent work.
We're all "WIP"'s LOL!
Don't be so hard on yourself bro, just do your thing, it's all good!
As for this miricla wb, I'll say it, it's sweet. If I had to make a suggestion, the titlebar buttons (min,max, close) make them 2 pixels taller, other than that, the blind is saaa-weeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!
