ClearGem (WIP)
Saturday, March 27, 2010 by G3mpi3 | Discussion: Sneak Previews
I was working on my first windowblind, Azzurro and my computer crashed and I lost all of my work. I finally got around to starting a new one, and I'm very happy with it so far.
This is still technically my first windowblind, so be patient because I'm really going to take my time with it. Click on the screenshot and zoom in to see the details I've put into the taskbar, start button, taskbar buttons, and start menu. Let me know what you think.
I will also release the dock seen in the screenshot. I'll make a 2D zoomer as well as a tabbed dock too.
UPDATED to show new dock, minor changes, new trillian skin, and some icons (some of a pack of 60+)
G3
Here's the icon pack (so far) that I'm making to go along with my theme. I'll make any requested icons too.

Update: I cleaned up the taskbar, start menu, and the windowframes are coming along nicely

Thanks everyone! And no worries - I'm frequently backing up all of my work so I don't lose it again

Some docks, also in progress to compliment my theme. By the way, I still need a name for this thing.........or should I stick with Azzurro??

If you don't go with Azzurro, think about ClearG3m or ClearGem.
Just a thought...

I updated the screenshot in the OP to show some new things I've done. I liked the name ClearGem (Thanks NetaholicsAnonymous) so I renamed the post. The screenshot shows a newer version of the start menu as well as all of the changes in explorer parts. I also wanted to show everything together, including the dock. The wallpaper is Jakuta by Essorant.

Would anyone be willing to test this on Vista once it gets near completion? I don't have much further to go, and I would really appreciate it.
