VXP 2010
Back To Nature
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 by vStyler | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Many of you may remember using my old VXP skin, next to the Vienna trilogy it has been my most popular skin and was popular long before Vienna was a twinkle in its Daddy's eye.. 
Anyway.. Ive been planning on redoing VXP from scratch for quite a while, it was a VS port, didn't have most of the newer WB features like per pixel frames, transparency, dropshadows, tool icons etc, so this will be a totally new skin, designed from the ground up and hopefully will be the first skin I do a Win 7 version of also. So, with 7 coming out and 2010 right around the corner...
VXP 2010 it is... 
It will have more modern stylings, as smooth as possible graphics, transparency, borderless frames and tab backgrounds, all the bells and whistles and designed to make the best use out of scenic nature walls which personally I cannot get enough of. 
Anyway.. here is a shot of the alpha workings of XP.. where I always start.... will update as I progress. The blue area of the top frame is transparent too.. just hard to tell over this background.

Hurry, pl0x... JK--this looks fantastic! VXP was one of my most-used skins back when I was running XP. This revamp has got me drooling!

Please wait animation, Its actually much smoother than is showing here but my PC bogs down when screen recording and leads to a choppy recording (main reason I've never gotten around to making tutorials)
91 frames.

Thanks Lg , sorta figured you may show up , I remember u really liking the original years ago.
--------------------------------------------
May be a bit of a wait on the Win 7 substyle being added, been over there for a few hours checking it out, i absolutely HATE the single logoff button, leaves the entire start menu looking unbalanced.
Other than that there actually are quite a few more new sections that need skinned now with the new OS, tooltip windows (silly) tooltip icons, jump menus and icons, dynamic start menu parts, the taskbar sizing between small and large is still buggy so thats going to take some configuring and quite a bit more.
I will probably put up the finished XP \ Vista versions then add 7 if and when I think it's ready, I would just rather not do it half assed or rush it.
I do intend to go right onto to 7 after finshing Vista and before starting another WB but I plan on devoting quite some time to it before uploading the 7 version to make sure it's complete and correct.
