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!

This guy has a couple of super walls in his gallery that match the WB very well, including this...

No, I'm afraid there is not, sorry, WB is not capable of changing font colors in those menus. So everyone is aware, Ive been over all of these issues time and time again and if something is illegible, chances are, there is not fix, in a truly dark skin.
Feel free to lobby Neil Banfield to get these unskinnable sections skinnable in future versions.
Firefox should be fine unless its an addon toolbar, in which case I obviously cannot vouch for every toolbar or menu addon. Standard firefox menus and toolbars should be perfectly fine.

Well John...I'm afraid the Winstep theme for this may not see the light of day for awhile. I've already uploaded 11 new themes to the Winstep gallery since the launch of this...uh...whatever it is...and out of those 11...8 have shown up with broken images and 3 have yet to show up. If I didn't know any better I'd think someone was purposely trying to kill the site.
Anyway...this will give me time to tweak it some more and hopefully not to death.

How bout DA giz?
..not sure whats happened to natas and his docks, no show so far, maybe life got in the way, Im going to make a tile or two in C4d tho and still gotta post a bigger orb for Win 7 orb users.

I have docks already done John...the problem is the site. It's just frustrating uploading anything just to see it disappear into limbo with no idea what things will get fixed. And yeah...DA is starting to look like an option now.

Us junkies gotta have our fix...heh.

For anyone who is using Firefox and has a problem with the selected tab font being hard to read, there is a workaround if you're using the TabMixPlus extension. Open the TMP options, click on Display > Tab > Customize Styles, and there you can customize them to however you want.

If i can ever find a spare minute I'll be uploading this tile dock..
Working on larger Orb for 7 users atm.
Reply #90 Wednesday, April 28, 2010 8:48 PM
You can also use the Firefox extension Stylish to change the font colors.
Reply #91 Wednesday, April 28, 2010 8:51 PM
TMP is easier. 
I thought Stylish was only for web pages, not the actual browser itself.
Reply #93 Wednesday, April 28, 2010 9:02 PM
I always find that when i want to know what page I'm on.. (selected tab) I just LOOK AT THE PAGE !! 
The rest are legible 
ok, for those waiting on a larger Winflag Orb, for use with 7 only.. Large taskbar only
..here you go.. http://www.sendspace.com/file/s9u7ko Overwrite the original by dropping in the WB folder.

i know dark skin have that kind of problem but...how can i not skin Kaspersky Internet Security?
Reply #97 Wednesday, April 28, 2010 9:34 PM
and my last question...how do i change to winflag version?
Reply #98 Wednesday, April 28, 2010 9:54 PM
You can exclude any app in WBconfig 'per application' settings but it will still be dark due to dark system colors used so not much point really.
Reply #99 Wednesday, April 28, 2010 10:01 PM
i know but there are a lot .exe and i don't know which 1 it is. anyone using Kaspersky?
Reply #100 Wednesday, April 28, 2010 10:18 PM
I think you'll find it will look much worse excluded anyway, but you can try.
Last two walls uploaded, should be up on WC.. at some point...
