Steampunk WIP
Tuesday, August 4, 2009 by k10w3 | Discussion: Sneak Previews
Updated -- going with Window 2 for the first style (grungy substyle after that).
The start menu is a little incomplete in this shot because the gears and gauges are going to be animation, and I haven't gotten to the animating part just yet (except the start button, which is a gauge that fluctuates on mouseover).

I still have a long way to go but I've come to a place where I can start using it on a daily basis to see where I need to tweak what I have so far.

This is just an outstanding design k10w3. Congratulations on creating a fantastic skin. 
Can't wait to see this get released.
What addional skins have you done or plan to do?
What OS's is it for?
Oh, forgot to say, I want it.

My past skins aren't really worth mentioning (One Tribe is the best of them, but still...I've learned so much in preparation for Steampunk) -- I plan on making a substyle in Steampunk that's a little less Victorian and a little more grunge. After that...I'm just going to have to see what grips me.
Right now it's for XP, but I plan on trying to skin a Vista substyle, and who knows...maybe by the time I have this thing perfect in XP, I'll have enough money to buy a used Vista laptop from the pawn shop or something (I've been looking on Craigslist, and those people are just dreaming if they think someone is going to pay $300-$500 for a USED laptop). Ideally, if I could get to the right financial position (which is just a little bit out of the darn hole I'm in), I would like to buy a new laptop -- I'm hoping that will happy soon, but I'm not counting on it. If I get a new one in the near future, than, of course, I'll also make a Win7 substyle.

Sorry, I ddin't ask that additonal skins question in the correct way, my fault. I meant like rainlendar, widgets, objectdock, etc. to go with this theme.
Your other WBs have been good, what you talking about.

I would disagree....

Doh! Rainlendar, ClocX (because that program ROCKS -- skins are just a .png and .ini, but it has the BEST alarm for my job -- quiet little popup window that doesn't mess with the rest of my software); I've done a few cursors in the past, but I don't think I can top GearEx, which is what I used in the screenshot above. I'll probably do a Logon and Bootskin for XP, and if I get access to Vista, I'll do a Logon and Bootskin for that, too.
OH -- and I plan on doing a Xion skin, too.

That latest Start Panel is wonderful. I would also agree with whom ever said to go with the curving pip for the windows frame as well as the start panel as that gives a much more consitent feel to the work.
Very good so far and can't wait to see more. You simply cannot let this go unfinished.

YEAH! And Jim has graciously agreed to do a DX! This makes me so happy, because I can't make heads or tails of DX; it's so beyond me! I've tried just to modify widgets and ended up with a mess all over my desktop.

Sounds very good k10w3. I think I used ClocX before I found Stardock and WinCustomize, I remember it as being easy to use. If you are skinning for it I may have to go back to using it.
I'm sure RedneckDude will do his usual fine work also.
I will be looking for permission from you once thing are done to do a Theme Manager Suite for this theme.

DX is really a LOT easier than WBs. Karen, I can help you do a DX theme sometime, if you want.
