Sisters. An update becomes a new project
Tuesday, April 6, 2010 by 2of3 | Discussion: Sneak Previews
Years ago, I did a purple skin called Tirill dedicated to my daughter with the same name. I have always felt like I should update the skin for Vista and Windows 7. The thing is, whenever I have attempted an update on any skin, it always turns into a totally different skn!
Looking back at the Tirill series, I felt that the color wasn't bold enough, the graphics not good enough and just not a proper tribute to Tirill.
My wife and I have also had another daughter since, so this is a perfect time to do a substyle for her.
The skin name is Sisters. 2 styles: Tirill and Vilde.
First, a reminder
Tirill WB 2007:
Looking at it now, the purple seems almost gray to me. As if it has faded over the years. I have decided to go with a bolder purple color this time.
Tirill 2010:
Really, the only thing that is the same is the shape of the Start Menu.
For the Vilde substyle, I have chosen a raspberry color (ok.....call it pink if you want)
I realize that these skins won't appeal to everybody (maybe even very few), but I'm sure my kids and maybe yours too will enjoy them 
When completed these will be uploaded here as free skins.

On first glance, they look simple; on closer examination you can see a lot of detail. Thanks Tim.
