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.

It looks like I could reach up and touch my screen where the titlebar buttons are and I would actually feel them there.  The more I look at this theme, the more I like it.  Too bad messiah isn't around, I'd really like to see some killer docks for this from him...

Thanks, and not to fret, Messiah I think is off fighting the good fight.... we'll make sure some kickass docks are made If I have to do a tray or two myself and Im pretty sure WG will be putting forth some works of art too.

 

Thanks everyone... XP underway, its a tough'y with the texturing and all, but I'll get 'er done somehow or another.

Could we stand some RND docks too? Maybe?

Well, a DX would suffice....

I can't wait....I'm almost giddy with excitement!!!

Acrylic 7 is used DWM Shadows. and It looks good, when mouseover 'Show Desktop' button.
And How about Venom includes .msstyles(with black window background color)?
