Blue Wing WIP
Time for a bit of color
Thursday, March 4, 2010 by 2of3 | Discussion: Sneak Previews
As some of you may know, I work on a passenger ferry and am out at sea for 2 weeks at a time. This relative isolation give me plenty of time to sit in my cabin and doodle.
Sometimes inspiration comes to me in funny ways. Take for instance my razor. I was shaving before work and I started to admire the colors of my Gillette Fusion
I thought, "those colors would make a nice blind"
This is what came out of that thought
I don't know why I called it Blue Wing......it's just the name that popped into my head

Looks good from the screeny 
I was kinda hoping for more than just a screeny, Steve. Like perhaps you send me the docks to try em out?

Jim's zoomer is totally different from yours and you haven't done any tiles that I know of. I feel that all the docks look different enough to be upload as well as yours. The more choices people have, the better.....don't you agree?

The skin is finished!
However I may have a corrupt skin here and may have to rebuild it

I'm still using it even with the Outlook issue.......... 
I do have a request/suggestion....could you slightly dim the bright white window backgrounds......

it is so it's.....fuck it and rebuild
I'd love to. But Protector was initially rejected as a master skin for just that reason ( the window background color was light gray). I even asked for clarification about the issue and was informed that nothing other than default (white) would be accepted. But hey while I'm already rebuilding the skin, I may offer a substyle with muted windows background.....no promises though.

didn't know that....leave it white, I'll change it on my end

This from the principle/premier Customization website? Sounds pretty odd.

I think it's an issue of usability Doc, for some people it might be to hard for them to see, and being that they are buying it, if they end up with something they can't use......it will just cause too many problems. The Skinner can include substyles, but they must have the white.
Tim, instead of having to do a substyle, couldn't You just include a TGA swatch of the color You wanted it to be? people could just drop it in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds\Textures........ then they could select it from Explorer Backgrounds in WindowBlinds just like You would for a texture. Of course this may cause some usability issues depending on the text color, but if You can find a color that looks good with the blind and use a font color that works well with it and the white........just another one of those ideas that pop into My head.....

Fred, I would agree with you, except that Tim wrote what I put in bold type. Your way makes sense, but he didn't say that. That's why I'm questioning why such a posture would be adopted by WC.

Oops, guess I read through to fast........Thanks Doc!

To be fair, I didn't inquire if it was a matter of including a substyle with white window background in addition to the gray.

all I can say is that I feel your pain for the rebuild.....god speed mate. ((huggs))

I made a matching rainlendar for this, and uploaded it. It's in there somewhere, but you can't find it in the main gallery, or the rainlendar gallery, or when you search for me by name! Until that get's fixed, here is a link to it: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/rainlendar/1170/
