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.

A trilogy of windowblinds themes+iconpackages? WOW. Hope we will get to see these beauties done before Christmas 
Just kidding. Like I said before I don't like the start button at all but I usually like your work and I have no doubt that this will be awesome too. Can't wait

This sounds like a great Trilogy and the first Theme is looking very good.

Deea, what would you suggest?
Reply #8 Monday, June 21, 2010 12:47 PM
Agreed, if your going all out, the start button needs some extra imagination, also watch the gradient banding in the start menu glass.

What I would suggest? I was thinking about a simple square button but when it has the mouse over it should have an animation, it should be open like a door and reveal some sort of green animation (or violet depending on the skin). It's just an idea, but i personally think everything would be better then that retro START text. I have seen some previews of the icon folders that you have made for this skin and they looked so futuristic, this skin definitely deserves a better start button

Here's some sort of animation that I was thinking for the start button (after mouse over opening) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ5LK9zYp7Q

I will definitely give that some thought. Thanks!
I may make an alternate start button... cuz, well... I kinda like this one.

I, personally, like the start button, but maybe not the text.
Lookin' good, Brian.

I must ask, and I may be showing my red neck here, but shouldn't it be Plasma Cannon?
Reply #15 Monday, June 21, 2010 9:36 PM
Ya know, I'm a photographer... and... photographers spell Canon with one n!
Maybe I oughtta rethink this skin and call it the Canon Mark 7d!
Reply #16 Monday, June 21, 2010 10:54 PM
Lol!! I have a Canon printer....does that help, nah!
Reply #17 Monday, June 21, 2010 11:11 PM
I like the overall shape of the button.... I trust Brian's imagination more than RnD's 'cannon'...

One thing for sure--don't let RedneckDude do a DX theme for you. Look what he did with Aero Station.

Please excuse the "Duh" factor, but what the heck is that?
