July Desktop Screenshots
Thursday, July 1, 2010 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
OK....so there's skinning 'bits' around....in the GUI....but the 'main' fun-of-the-moment is the wall....in-game shot of me [trying to] skinning planes in FSX.....and here I'm about 40 thou above Melbourne ....in a SU 47 'Berkut'.
In 15 minutes I can be buzzing over King Island...where I was born.....
Skinning in FSX is 'kinda' complicated.
Everything from XML coding to texture mapping and per-pixel editing, coding effects to activate correctly [eg. ABs]. [it's amazing how much stuff 'out there' that is clunky or missing one detail or another....and not just counting compatibility issues, either].
I hate alpha-blending.....and co-ords for gauges in a VC....it's all just too much like Litestep....you know, - complicated.....

@G3mpi3 Wow, I really like the blacked out look you have going there.(Who needs a start button anyway, right Doc?) Is that a blind you are working on? If so, I hope you plan on uploading it.
Interesting idea you have for a dock background also. Nice work!

Thanks Brian!
Haha no, I wish I had that much talent. It's a visual style over at DeviantART. Here's the link:

The artist is only 17 years old, but has a tremendous amount of talent. I'll probably be working on that dock background for another week or so before I upload it. (it's kinda tricky and I wanna do a few other variations)

New desktop, Primary colours are Green with blue accent, Wall is a my creation called Angel Wings using Paint Shop Pro X2
To skyzyk please notice I do use blue if used right not as a primary but as an accent colour it is OK

I always look forward to the screenshots by you, karmat. They are always so pleasing to the eye.
