Havana WB - WIP
Pour the perfect blend.
Saturday, July 4, 2009 by vStyler | Discussion: Community
Sydneysiders came up with the name.... and I have to think... it totally beats the crap out of 'Macaccino Mint' 
Anyway, this is the WB I'm currently working on, always wanted to make a coffee colored blind, finally getting around to it.
Will try to make it very smooth and useable, perhaps even relaxing to use and post screens as I go.
Mac inspired. Nothing is in stone so far.

Thought I'd drop in to say this looks really nice, reminds me of Jawndo (which I liked) but this one is sleeker and more minimalistic. Looking good John (and I don't even drink coffee).

as good as the blind will be (and i'm sure it'll be great), that wall absolutely kills! release that wall asap!

I'm experiencing a Pavlovian reaction to this WIP -- just looking at it is making my heart race, and I'm getting revved up. These are behaviors that should only happen after I actually consume caffeine!

Yep, and cuban coffee is some of the best imo... hence...the name Havana
The blind basically is a bit of a tribute to all the graphic designers and coders that sustain themselves, as I do with a pot of java and gritty determination.
I chose to add in the mint color as mint is a type of coffee, one of my favs, and honestly I think its probably the best color match with the brown used.
I may.. also do an orange pumpkin spice substyle to add a bit of variety, havent decided yet.
Thanks all, hope everyone had a nice 4th.
