Venom for WB - Released
come to the darkside...
Tuesday, April 27, 2010 by vStyler | Discussion: New Releases
I wanted to make a red and black theme that took advantage of the dramatic contrasts that this color combo can achieve.
It's been described many ways by folks as I have been building it... devilish, menacing, provocative, wikked, luminescent, masterpiece, fierce, ''pushing the envelopes'' However you may feel about it after loading it up I truly hope that enjoy the experience. It has been a challenging and time consuming theme to construct.
All matching skins will be loaded soon on Wincustomize.com, and there are a bunch, and lastly as I have mentioned before all truly dark skins will have a couple of areas here and there that can cause problems, mostly in MS Office, I have included a light version for each OS. There is also a winflag Start button alternative included in the zip that can be dropped in the WB folder.
Please leave your thoughts on this theme, thanks and Enjoy VENOM!

Small bug in right side of Start panel fixed only affecting those with rather short start menus, nevertheless, anyone who has purchased can use the same link to redownload.
Thx Jim n Wiz. 
Tim, I know everyone would love to see an Essorant DAAARK skin and thanks !

I'm really diggin' the DX, Redneck! IMO, it compliments the windowblind beautifully. 
The presentation of your work is commendable and I have searched the web high and low for the wallpaper you used, but to no avail. I even did a reverse image search. Which leads me to believe this wallpaper is some private artwork. Any info would be appreciated.

BTW, I changed the screeny on DA to use the Fork You wall and it was showing weather WITH the DX, and the weather widget is seperate.

Using Venom 7. I have tweeked some of the skin colors to my liking, but I do not know which one to change to get the rulers in Photoshop CS3 to change back to white so I can see, and use them. Here is a screenshot.
Thanks for your help.

That's the window background color, just a bad side effect of PS unfortunately using a dark theme
Here is the the second wall I've uploaded, more to come.

First I'd like to say this is a superb blind. I have only one problem, I can't read anything in the pull down menus of explorer. On FF 3.6 it's the same with the toolbars. Is there a way to change this so it's legible. I do have SKS but I would need to know what to do.

That is a text color that cannot be changed without affecting other parts of the skin, nothing one can do about it except to make light colored menus, but that would defeat the purpose of making a dark skin.

Cool skin - lots of details and obviously to the usual high stand we have come to expect from vStyler.
It's dark though! Scary.
