Sakura WB - Work in progress

Monday, August 15, 2011 by vStyler | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Time for a new un'  !

I wanted to use a less conventional color on this one, lord knows we have enough blue, green and red themes!

Also wanted to get back to using some translucency, Ive missed it  Also something a little more conventional, style-wise.

So here are the humble beginnings of Sakura WB for Win 7

 

Will post more as it progresses... as usual.   Thanks to everyone who continues to support me and my work.

 

If it wasn't for you guys, I really don't know where I would be.

Like any fine wine, this is getting better with age. The new name lends a bit more class to an already classy WB.

Nope.. its not mine.

Reallly, isn't finding new wallpapers to match new themes a big part of the enjoyment... a lot of times, as with this one, I look for, find a wall, which I like, then spend quite some time modifying the coloring, shading, size etc.. to be able to use it with a screenshot and with the theme,

of course in those cases, I cant redistribute.

Way to go John. I see the great usability of this VS, also can see it recoloring very well too.

Like the new name ....it "fits" it better IMHO. Course I liked the first (controversial) name too. The blind ain't half bad looking either...

lol... I'm not even sure what everyone is discussing here.. b ut whatever walls folks want.. @ 1920x1200 only they are more than welcome to PM me for, when the WB is done.. I just can't post them. I don't make them all, just the ones I release with my WB's. The rest are pure mods.

 

Thanks everyone !

looks like v's not the only one skinning Sakura...

"Sakura" is a better name, John. I agree. Vino looks a poor second.

poor second?  not so... Vino was a cute name... especially incorporating the 'V'...  Sakura is a little more oriental and exotic though... 

sometimes takes awhile for a name to lend itself to a blind... or a blind to lend itself to a name...

Link to another nice wall (I think) for this wonderful skin:

Interestingly, I believe it's the same blossom in the wall above.

 

another lovely one... thanks doc... looks good with Penthouse too... & looks like they could be Sakura cherry blossoms too....   [e digicons]:karma:[/e]

You're welcome, Syd I thought so as well.

Nice 'skinning', there.

I'm generally not a fan of tattoos (I think they're trashy) but that is art.
