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.

I've updated both the screenshot for the blind and also the icon pack so far that I'm working on to compliment the theme. The screenshot also shows one of the docks I'm making to go along with the blind. If you'd like an icon that isn't pictured, just let me know and I'll add it. By the way...........I still need someone to test on vista..... ![]()

Haha yeah sorry, I've been constantly replacing the screenshots in the OP to show changes. Each time I update, I seem to be using a different wallpaper. As for the graffiti wallpaper currently being used, I did not make it, so therefore it won't be included in the blind. However, here's the link for your convenience.

Those icons are awesome! I think OD2 is going to signal the return to poplularity of more 2D icons. Simply because they look a ton better with reflection. The reflection of the icons above is kick ass. ![]()

Need some help - the menus and right click menus are acting strange in firefox. They are normal in windows...........if I right click on the desktop, there aren't any bars like this. I must have accidentally changed something because I never saw these grey bars before in firefox. If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. I'm not sure what I need to do or change.
Here's the screenshot:

Glen, Firefox uses the favorites menu. Skin that part and you'll be all good.

Thanks for the quick response Brian, but here's the thing.........I did skin that part. But it's not showing up in Internet explorer and it's being glitchy in Firefox. ![]()
I've even tried importing that part from another skin, and it was fine in IE, but still had those ugly boxes in Firefox.
I'm really confused about what might be causing this problem..........I may have accidentally changed something in "skin colors"..........could that be the problem?
Here's proof -

It's part of a rainmeter skin called Razor, by minhtrimatrix. http://minhtrimatrix.deviantart.com/art/Razor-158568197

G3mpi3....the icons look just great, as does the skin! You've improved so much I can scarcely believe it!
, man!

Hi Glen
I got the skin and I'm not getting the issue with the menus. They look just fine.
From your screeny, I believe you have either another version of FF than me and/or you are using a custom firefox theme. Try disabling the theme and updating to the latest FF to see if it helps.
Nais skin by the way buddy. Showing real potential ![]()

Thanks Doc and RND! Tim, I'm using a firefox clone - Pale Moon (25% faster, you should try it) but anyway I tried disabling the theme and I'm still getting the issue. I never noticed it before, so I guess the next step is reinstalling my browser - firefox and pale moon.
But I guess it's good news that I'm the only one who's having problems haha

Really looking good, can't wait till it comes out (I know, we have to be patient!)!
Love the icons too, could you make a RainMeter icon? Or, if you want more suggestions, what about making more Stardock product icons, cause we all use those.

I found the problem for firefox displaying those ugly grey boxes on menus. It's actually Pale Moon's fault. (the firefox clone). If Pale Moon is open the same time as firefox, it works fine, if firefox is run alone, it works fine, BUT if pale moon is run alone, those grey boxes appear.
Well at least this is proof I'm not going crazy. ![]()

Is it possible to skin this part? If so, can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance ![]()

I've decided to make a bundle of icons to go with this theme. Here's a preview of what some of them look like. I will be making a large set, if there are any special requests, just let me know.
