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.

Looks ok to me in Word. Must be the newer version of Word (p.o.s.)... ![]()

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