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.

+1 And this blind is no exception. The more I look at it,the more I like it. I don't normally care much for red but this one really stands out.
@WG. Sweet looking docks there!
What she said.^^^^^

I think you need to set your TileVCenter to = 1 for the left and right WG.

Ya think? Already done...that was just a quick screenshot while I was doing them...still doing others. 
And for the record Natas...tile settings don't always work well with gradients on dock backgrounds. Especially when you have dots/lines going from left bottom to right top...been there done that...real hair pullers

I've noticed that the section that doesn't stretch on a dock is always sharper than the section between the stretch. Which I think is what you are pointing out I.R.? The vivid white on the upper right of the dock on the left side of the screen? It's something with how OD handles the graphics I think. It's more noticeable on some docks, especially those that have a light color on the edges.
Unless that's not what you meant. However, it is still an issue that perplexes me sometimes.

Ah. well, the issue I brought up still stands. It bothers me. Like having my panties in a wad instead of bunched.
