Stealth Drone - In The Gallery!
My First Master Skin
Monday, July 4, 2011 by Xiandi | Discussion: Sneak Previews
My first Masterskin. I think I'm pretty much satisfied with how this looks, although I think the start button may change. It seems a bit plain compared to the rest of it. Just the mockup is done so far ... 238 layers in all. 
There will be a light substyle as well. The taskbar buttons are transparent, so the Win7 button colors show through. The library top image will probably go lighter once I see what color the text will be in there (sure wish we had control of that). The dial looking buttons 'turn' for different states.
It needs a name and I can't think of one. If you come up with a name I like, you'll get a free copy of the skin. 
Navigatsio, Uvah, and LadyShrike1 named it. Thank you!!! Each of you will get a free copy when it's done.

That is absolutely superb work! Definitely Master work!

Master quality indeed. Off topic here, but one of the things I've noticed over the last few years is that (in the skinning world) a lot of people who aren't "artists" in their jobs have amazing artistic abilties nonetheless. Xiandi is just one of the examples of that (and a good one).

Another winner coming but all your skins are winners.
How about Activated Charcoal or Activated Carbon or reverse the two words.

Nice job on this Cyndie 
be aware, in case you weren't... you have to skin all OS's and with truly dark skins , also have to provide a light version for each OS as well. (regarding a skin that is sold on WC)
Got your work cut out Work Work Work!!

My first impression when I saw your unnamed WIP reminded me of the old type blackboards / chalkboards. Therefore: "Black Board"
Looks great!

Yup, I knew that. There are always some places where the text sucks in a dark blind, but I love them dark. SKS is pretty good with the color control now, but it would be nicer if some colors didn't effect colors elsewhere in the blind, if they had separate controls, it would give us a bit more freedom.
Imagine if you told SKS to make the toolbar button text to be one color in explorer and a different color in IE
... or even have different toolbar buttons for explorer and IE
... or if the toolbar button text color was a separate control from the searchbar text color
... or if we could actually skin the toolbar background in IE again
... or if we could tell SKS not to use the window color we assign in some commonly used apps...
.... yeah, I'm dreaming.

"stunnerkobra" is my name suggestion -straight in one word like that. The top of the startmenu craves it !
