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.

John, it looks like an XP taskbar for your skin... a mock up, no?
It keeps looking better and better, John....

I guess thats two stays.. 
btw IR, hopefully u noticed I centered the tray arrow on the divider line, that way, looks better if arrow isn't showing on someones system
I forgot to include context menu's.. the all programs menu is identical.
not sure what your asking doc? that last shot is a screenshot of XP...not a mock up... I always start with XP first.. unlike some other folks.
...and thanks

I can't wait!! This is one awesome blind, looks like! 5 redneck stars easily! Been a tad busy with life, John. I'll be into the DX soon!

Yeah I wasn't sure about what you were doing there since I didn't see that in my psds. That was just a quick mockup to see what it "might" look like. And I still can't see to much in that screenshot with these old eyes....lol Thats why I'll wait to see the end product...always best to work from that!
Unless we can plug our heads in with a long extension cord. 
(I like the skull too)

Agreed, looks cool. Although a dragon might look cooler...

Oops! Wrong smiley!

Hi V Styler... I just got your Svelte and Alluminate Window Blinds. Great work as usual. I was just thinking and you don't have to do it if you don't want to... it's just an idea. Some were talking about a start button to match the idea of the blind... I was thinking about maybe the hour glass of the black widow spider since this spider can be deadly to humans. The spider and the blind are both red and black. What do you think V Styler? I can't wait until this blind comes out!!!

Thanks all, I will keep suggestions in mind, altho, I quite like how the skull looks, might try and rustle up a classic she-devil silhouette , might also do a snake or a spider as suggested, I may also leave it blank so everyone is pleased and make some venomous creature wallpapers......we shall see.
