Aero Station WB: Released
Wednesday, March 24, 2010 by Mirsguy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
After some time-off from skinning (not my choice, been really busy with work the last couple of months) I noticed that RedneckDude had created a theme called Aero Station. He made DX goodies, ObjectDock backgrounds, a cursor, etc., but there was no WindowBlind!
I asked him if he would allow me to make the blind, and he graciously allowed me. I'm really liking it so far!
The skin is now available here: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/7176/

i hate to say it but, having to stick to dark colors there.. is really really restrictive on the part of the skinner... if IE8\ 9 is going to be this much of a pain.. and it is.. I would suggest all WB users start using Firefox.

Looking great so far, Brian! Can't wait to see how it develops and anxious to see the finished product!

Sounds like a good idea. Thanks!
Wasn't planning on it, though catering to the demands of an unbending web browser is not high on my priority list.
Thanks, Mom!

Start menu and taskbar (and almost all relating elements) are done!

As soon as you go final with this Mirsguy and get it uploaded I will add it to the Theme Manager Suite for Aero Station.

Thanks Jim! All components for the Start menu and the Horizontal taskbars are complete!

Now that really looks good! You are gonna make my stuff look bad...lol. Not! Looks great Brian, can't wait to get my hands on it!
BTW, what is that wall?

Nice 
I like the subdued colors you put in the taskbar buttons for the different states.

Lol! It's your stuff I've been using to create this!

Jim, I concede with your desire for grey window buttons. Now that I see where this skin is going, I can see that grey buttons fit better than colored ones. 
I've updated the screeny to reflect that change.

But the mouseovers? What do they look like?
I still like my wall better...but I may be biased?

I dunno. Haven't gotten there yet.

Ahw dude, the colored buttons gave it a bit of finesse imo. Ohw well, still looks cracking

Yeah, I know. But there's just something about how a skin transforms and evolves during development...

If this is for W7 do not make the menu bar or tool bar colour text white or light gray, it does not show well or can be totally unreadable in MSIE 8, which a light blue default colour that cannot be changed.
