January Desktop Screenshots

Saturday, January 1, 2011 by JuniorCrooks | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Well happy new year everyone. I thought I would get the ball rolling with a new screenshot post seeing how December 2010 has left us.

Here is a new take on Solid State thanks to a new texture I made tonight. I now know how to do them, YEAH! The start menu and taskbar in this shot are not transparent. It is a schematic texture.

 Wow.  That skin and that texture do NOT Go well together.  The Mozzy Brick one does OK though.

I thought the same thing Zubaz. By the way I cannot even get that texture to work. I posted a comment on the texture page with a link to the ss.

Odd.  Try using the rebuild skins option?  Or try this . . . select  the texture, then select the "Edit effect" in the lower right.  Select the ZubraStripes texture and then click the button in the lower left to use the Windows frame.  Other than that . . it might be a support email to SD.

As an aside . . I turned off the textrue for teh Startpanel (just taskbar an window frame) and it didn't make my head explode.

Ok I got it to work but I had to do this. I downloaded the texture and saved it to Desktop. I changed the extension from .wba to .zip. I extracted the 2 files. I opened the texture file and noticed that the texture names where ZubraStripes3. I also noticed the tga file name was only ZubraStripes without the 3. I changed the name of the tga file to ZubraStripes3, ziped them back up and then it worked fine. I do not know how other are getting this to work because the 2 files have different names and from my experience they need to be the same. The information in the texture file has to have the same name as the tga file so it can detect the image.

I'm working on a similar project.

"The All Seeing Eye". It's a "Hybrid Dream" which I can only portray in the second shot.

 

As you can "see"... The "ZubaZ" taskbar is "hidden"
