Venom - WIP
XP, Vista and Win 7
Monday, March 22, 2010 by vStyler | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
k, so the concept was to get as far away from the last theme I did as possible and still be able to skin Win 7 completely and correctly.
I also wanted to make a red and black theme that took advantage of the dramatic contrasts that this color combo can achieve.
Devilish, menacing, provokative, I dunno.. thats what is running through my head as I throw this PS mockup together.
I suppose 
I will be doing a light and dark windows version as I dont see anyway around it...
...so this one may take a while to complete but here it is in it early.. fluid stage.
Oh and I may just keep the small branding text... cos I know 
would approve 
will post updates as they are formulated.

(Had a bit of fun too, and made a RightClick from the SS - for personal use)
Although I hate to admit it.....
I might just have to consider the possibility that I may have to think about possibly consider thinking about buying it... -maybe-
Well, I'll be damned, there's hope for humanity after all 
your more than welcome to release any right clicks you make Snowy and it is nice to see to see your input, appreciated.
Natas, looks great, extra skins, especially good ones are always welcomed. 
Everyone else, thank ya

I'm really happy to see two such eminent Community Members being as big as they truly are.

Gotta touch up the top highlight since it's a fadeout to the edges and the margins are making it look cut, but pretty happy with the way these turned out so far. Working on tabbed versions as well.
Sweet!! I can't wait to get this blind and all the parts!

Just a dumb thought, John....how would a slight red (Venom Red) backglow look behind the special folder icons?
Reply #216 Monday, April 19, 2010 8:23 PM
They are pretty much faded on purpose, if too prominent they can be distracting while looking \ sorting thru folders. May end up more faded than this even. Any glow would just get lost, would not look good.. faded, would not match rest of red in theme.
One last thing, there is more glow in this thing than Hell already, rest assured 
In between going to the track and field end of school season banquet at which my youngest won dual MVP awards from the kids and coaches vote.. and training him to go to state in May running the mile and 800 5 days a week, I am slowly but surely.. getting this done..
now, back at it

Had to lose the taper on the separator and the systray only looks good in a popup stretched vertically, but otherwise I think it came out okay..........
.....and if a certain Redneck remembers Me saying, You can't stretch and tile RC in the same direction at the same time .........I was wrong, I learned some new tricks, and CCF is back on My list again!

Every night I read this thread just to catch up with what John is doing and what everyone else is contributing. It's a great read and I saw a nice touch from Snowy. Above all, it looks like a fantastic skin with many good add-ons from various artists.

Thx Leo, and fred, looking fab mate, altho, the final mouse over is lighter than that, I'll post a screen of the menu shortly.. I'm sure you can fix it up once I finalize everything.
Here we go... 
Just a slight overall brightness adjustment in PS oughta do it.
