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.

Yep. All 3 skins will be "related," but they will be different.
Unlike the Miricla-Tinted-Frosted series, these will not just be recolored editions.

Well Glen, Syd, I teach InDesign at Hyles-Anderson College in Crown Point, Indiana. I also teach a Design Principles course and am also in charge of the Media & Graphic Design Major at the college. Besides that, I DO most of the design for the college, that is, until all my student workers come back this Fall.
And now that I've tooted my own horn...
These last 2 weeks I've been extremely busy with a project for the college. I've had very little time for anything but that project. When I did find leisure time, I was doing the Elementals Fire docks for Mr. Paul.
Honestly, I haven't touched Plasma Cannon since about July 1st. 
Next week will be crazy busy too. Should have time after that. Don't know what to say about ETA, except "stay tuned!"
Thanks Jim! I can always count on you!

Unfortunately, good tutorials for InDesign are very hard to come by. I would recommend getting the "Adobe InDesign CS(fill in the blank) Classroom in a Book." The book can be a bit tedious, but it's very in depth and thorough--taught me sufficiently enough to be able to teach my class!
One option for getting that book is to subscribe to Safari Books Online. This is how I do it. You pay like $20 per month or so, and you get to have 10 digital copies of books in your library.

Changed the start button. The appearance reflects only a minor change; but this one stretches with the taskbar button size, eliminating the need for a substyle.
