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.

Once again an excellent choice in colors and textures.
I anticipate the excitement and pleasure in following the progress of this theme.

Ditto... so damn good to have you back at it, John.
The name? Sounds... grape to me.
Buppons. We need buppons.

Yeah, I knew Snowy but I really don't see any reason to rename it based on an obscure, almost 10 year old blind unless the owner, who I'm assuming isn't even in the community anymore..objects.
Thanks guys ![]()

Are you serious? Unless the original one is YOUR work it would be in extremely poor taste if nothing else if you use that name.
How would you feel if someone created a bunch of blinds ( good quality or not ) and used the same name as your work?

I haven't created a 'bunch of blinds and used other peoples names"... So, please, if you don't mind, lets not make it more than it is...
Anyway , they not only have used my names, but my graphics as well, and design ideas, in fact , happens all the time. Probably more to me than most.
How do I feel? Doesn't really matter... it will continue to happen.
Serenity.
If this had been a recent blind, by a current author, I would have used a diff. name and frankly, there are few words that are patented by anyone... for anything.
Buuuuut... seeing some folks want to make an issue out of nothing.. and turn my thread into crap... again..
imo..
...I can change it, that way, everyone can just shut up about that
