Protector WB Released!

Tuesday, January 12, 2010 by 2of3 | Discussion: Sneak Previews

Started on a new blind. This is another darker skin, but I tried to keep it light enough so as to not cause any issues with 3rd party apps that refuse to skin properly.

I have added some interest to the otherwise flat gray color by "dirtying" it up and adding a subtle texture.

Anyway, I hope you like what I've done so far.

 

Draft idea:

 

The skin applied:

 

01.14.10 Major update to the graphics

 

Final screeny

And the skin will have aged to the point of having rust on it!

That thing must be melting about now huh?

Geeeeeezus! What is the problem? I guess this is why it takes so long to do a skin huh. A week on your pc and 2 in moderation.

Ok guys. I have been made aware of a tiny background/text color issue with MS word. I have to change the window background color to fix it.

It's not a huge problem for me to fix it in the Vista/Win7 substyle, but it will mean reworking an entire section on the xp subby. To make matters worse, I'm out at sea with a crappy and unreliable internet connection. I'm not sure that I'll be able to upload a fixed version before I get home next Tuesday.

Had it not been for this bug, the skin would have been up yesterday, so don't blame ID.

 

Thanks for your support guys

A bit.... 'picky' if you ask me. Like Word is an 'essential' application....

Can't really see the problem. Ok... so the background is grey, but you can easily read/see the text.

I didn't think it was too dark either, but ultimately it's not up to me so I'm changing it to white.

I only have version 2007 myself (and never use it)

Word 2003 here. Aint gonna buy a new version when that works ok. I don't use it much anyway.

Who is going to spend hundreds on Office just to skin it?

but ultimately it's not up to me so I'm changing it to white.

Ah, the Vista anaemic white syndrome, just like this website...
