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 could be a month or maybe longer before this is close to being finished. Its a pretty complex design, with two full dark and light substyles for each OS, throw in textures on top of that, and several wallpapers I have planned and perhaps some extra graphics to drop in the folder... a second start button etc.. its quite a large project for me.
Will post as it's done... I appreciate the level of enthusiasm by some of you but I can only work as fast as I'm able.

Kinda scared me for a sec, the ones in the mockup look a lot better.

It's the attention to all the little details, not to mention the artistry that I love about the skins you create. Really looking forward to this one!

Sidney is a tease!!!!
How did Harley get to upload before the blind is done? Shouldn't we wait for you, John?

Lookin good Jim, only thing I would change is the text color to something almost white, matching the WB.
The text color I use over all the red sections is.... # C1B7B7 , black was just not cutting it from a usability standpoint.
As far as Harley uploading the cursor, was just a little experiment between us, I do like to wait till the WB is finished before all matching skins are posted.
Here is the display properties in XP, after some experimentation I was able to get a neat sorta glowey reflection going on the active tabs that I quite like. 
Again... titlebuttons are from a previous theme, have not been started yet.

Can I leave the date and time text as is?
Reply #155 Tuesday, April 13, 2010 3:10 PM
Absolutely Jim, its not over a red section 
Gettin religious Elsius?
