My reply to you JuniorCrooks got wiped off somehow.

Improved lighting corrected the problem. I had to get away from the glare for a better look at your graphic. The rings are a bit on the thick side and that's no biggie. It's the blue of the gauge that threw me off. The overall design is great ... have you tried scaling the thinner ring for the oval?

Hey Uvah I have been doing some mods but so far have not come up with anything I like. Those gauges just are not doing it for me. I think if they were thinner and maybe wood to match the frame of the skin might be better. The problem is if I make the ring thinner I have to make the rest of the gauge thinner too or it does not look right. As far as the blue part goes I can change the collor to anything. I started off with a Red, yellow, green gradient. I like that better because it looks more like a proper meter but I think it does not match the skin well.

 I do not know but maybe I have to go back to the drawing board with this one. The Knot Aero and Knot Vista skins have really nice graphics so I want to do this right or not do it at all.  

I understand. I'm trying to get the Hardwood 'cabinet' just right. I thought because 'wood' is a great theme to work with it should reflect that hence the cabinet. I'm stuck on making buttons that resemble plates on holders. Imagine my surprise when I moused over one and it moved! Actually slid to the side. I freaked but Xiandi explained what I did wrong. The images have to line up precisely but with these buttons its hard to do. I'll get it though. Of course it means going back into the psd and reworking them but its worth it. Tell you ... I didn't think it would turn out this good. It actually looks like a cabinet. I have to make some adjustments to the background too. That top part should be high enough for the buttons to fit comfortably. They did before I resized it. Good luck with it Junior. I know you can do it up right.

Getting there. Buttons fixed and just some tweaking to do.

That looks really good Uvah!

Thanks Xiandi. Letting it run for now. Probably upload tomorrow after I get RnD's permission. Tons of fun with this one too. Now to find him.

He's fairly easy to find...

Where is that screenshot?

I found it. Can I have a look see at the actual skin? I have SMX installed.

 here. You beat me to it. lol

Uvah I like it but I have a suggestion you should try. Why not take the 3 wood rectangles off the black and put your cpu, memory info and even the network info on the black. You may have to make it a little bigger to fit it all so I guess that would mean more work, lol. I just think having it there would look better then having it on the wood of the cabinet but I can't try that to know for sure. Just an idea for you to think about. If you do put it there experiment with the font. There is a setting for text effect and if you use the right color for the drop shadow setting it can make it look 3d and in some cases like the text is engraved.

Can you send me the SMX in an email?

First, to JuniorCrooks. I'm saving your comment because it sounds good. I want to check it out.

Second, to RnD. On its way.

BTW ... the three rectangles are bargraphs. Note the cpu, phys used and swp above them. I suppose I could reverse them, put the bargraphs where the fonts are or no...not there, below where the network stuff is. I'll have to see. Thank you for the suggestion.

No problem Uvah. If it works fine if not nothing lost. I did not know they were bargraphs. You could also thin those graphs to make it all fit if need be. I personally like a thin bargraph but I can see why you made those ones the size you did. I will shut up now. Its looking good.

Shut up now, Junior.....

Just kidding...lol...I like to see people helping each other.    

Here's a screenshot of two versions. One original and the other a suggestion by JuniorCrooks. You guys be the judge.

The one on that side  ------------------------------------>>>>>>>>>>>> 

You got it Dude. Okay to upload?

Maybe this is nitpicking but I couldn't help but notice. The tab on the browser upper left. Do you see what it says? Another forum post by uvah lies. When the page finishes loading it disappears. Am I imagining things or is this screwy?

It's FireFox.
