Polaris WB - WIP
tinker tinker.. hammer, smack..kick.. curse..
Friday, October 2, 2009 by vStyler | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
After doing a very dark theme, I enjoy using it so much I've decided to do another dark, but less dark theme, without the need for a substyle 
I'm calling it Polaris for a couple of reasons, has rather a radioactive look and my father served as first weapons officer on the Polaris class nuclear sub H.M.S Resolution for many years. One of 4 Polaris class subs the British navy had back then, all since decomissioned. The orange really has no significance other than it is one of the better.. glowey colors and goes really well with a dark grey\blue.... oh... and it just happens to be October 
Anyway.. so far so good, will post screens as I have them. I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of orange matching icons available. There are a couple of decent sets but nothing that matches perfectly and IP's recoloring feature is rather meagre. Bit disappointed on that front. Maybe a certain someone wants to step up 
I see after laying some elements out together than some of the oranges need matched up slightly better... oh well.. is a WIP..It'll get sorted out... all in good time.
Cheers.

Yes indeed this is a very nice looking theme with some equally nice theme skins from the community.
Will there be a Icon Package, CursorFX, RightClick or others?

probably not philly, an IP can take up to a month to make or more, BK might end up doing a right click at some point, cursor.. doubtful.
..then again, not sure what constitues a suite actually.

That is a good question.
I don't see it as any one skin or a total number okins but more of does the theme bring community members to it to add thier talents. That probably doesn't make a lot of sense, but then I'm not a skinner. A theme doesn't have to have an IP or Cursor for me to consider it a Suite. A decent DX Theme to go along with a good WB that has some animation, a wall and you pretty much have it.
But then this is just my opinion, others may see it differently.

I've started on the RC........but, I'm a little behind..... should have it done Tuesday or Wednesday.

I have my PC fixed, and I could do a cursor. But I'm no J Aroche or the like. I have a few in my gallery. 
Am a bit behind due to a borked reinstall of Vista, but I'm about back to normal. Weather 80% done, should be up in a few hours.

I am sorry, but it would seem that the fonts did not embed in the Polaris Weather DX widget. I will have to reup and those of you who have downloaded it may want to redownload. I will add the fonts. Sorry for the mix up.

At least he didn't blame his tester. 
Reply #138 Monday, October 19, 2009 5:18 PM
I am fairly embarrassed by this, but the same goes for the DX theme. I must say that my tester has been unavailable, and I just missed this. I apologize for the trouble once again.

Not at all, when behinds are involved, it's tissues, not issues!
