Valence Shell Trilogy-WIP
Monday, June 21, 2010 by Mirsguy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm going to go all-out this time. I'm beginning work on the first WindowBlind in a trilogy of themes. The family of themes is caled Valence Shell, which will be futuristic and sci-fi.
Each theme will include skins for WindowBlinds, ObjectDock, IconPackager, and possibly CursorFX.
I am starting off with Valence Shell 1: Plasma Canon, which is a steel mixed with a little dark glass, and a lot of plasma green highlights.
Valence Shell 2: Ultra Violet and Valence Shell 3: Proton Beam will follow.
These skins will be designed for Windows 7, Vista & XP.

I believe the buttons shown are the unskinned/default buttons. I'm sure the final will be very different.

Oh, and I've got plans for the start button.

Yall gotta quit making mouseovers that have a mouseover graphic AND a text color change. I can't match that in DX. You're making my life difficult...lol!!

Now the questions to you RND is there something you can do in DX that they can't?

Todays update: Window frames are taking shape. Decided to beef up the theme as a whole.

ummmm, beefy!!! 
What a work of art! 
It's skinners like you and blinds like this that made me like green.

Thanks guys! It's now complete enough for me to use at work on my big screens, and I'm lovin' it! 
Definitely my fav of all my skins so far.

John, I haven't referenced a one of your skins in creating this one--either in style or in settings.
The inspiration behind those buttons came partly from various ideas from Hyperdesk.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Sidenote, its really getting beyond a joke anymore.

Don't take offense 
Its all good, just look similar by coincidence probably 
, I'd just like to see something less inspired and more original from u is all.
Just one persons opinion

I like it a lot - very nice design.
I would move the Max, Min, and close buttons a bit up in the middle of the tittle bar.
A better and kind of round start button would also be a better choice.
It's only my side of view.
Superb work once again.
