I am very glad that you decided to rethink your opinion and approach. You get a second chance to make a first impression.
There are a lot of people involved in making WinCustomize the great place it is. I think you will be one of those people, maybe even making Master yourself someday.
I wish you luck with your skinning future, your graphics look great and show that you have a lot of talent. I hope that you will brighten the galleries here with your work. You don't have to make things for free, but it is a great way to sharpen your skills, get exposure and feedback, so I truly hope you do.
Once again, good luck.
Jeg er veldig glad for at du valgte å revurdere din mening og tilnærming. Du får en ny sjanse til å gjøre et førsteinntrykk.
Det er mange mennesker involvert i å lage WinCustomize det flott sted det er. Jeg tror du vil bli en av dem, kanskje også gi master selv en dag.
Jeg ønsker deg lykke til med din skinning fremtid, dine Grafikken ser flott ut og vise at du har mye talent. Jeg håper at du vil lyse galleriene her med arbeidet ditt. Du trenger ikke å gjøre ting gratis, men det er en fin måte å spisse ferdighetene dine, få eksponering og tilbakemeldinger, så jeg håper virkelig du.
Igjen, lykke til.

Let me start by saying I am NOT a skinner (or even close) but in the interest of being constructive, I looked at your skin. I hope this can be of some help to you.
Those with more experience will better know what to look for but these stood out to my untrained eyes.

The shadow on this text makes it look blurry.

The corners need to be cleaned up.

When the menu expands to the right ( cursor is on Notepad button) I get a vertical as well as horizontal stretch.

Using small Taskbar icons shifts the systray icons off-center. Also, the volume icon is too close to clock

The mouse over button glow for these doesn't work right with IE9, but is ok for explorer windows.
and just an opinion: The blank graphic over the start button that slides left on m/o looks too plain. Could use a color or graphics change.
For your first effort, it is an excellent start.
I am not trying to be critical, I only wish for you to make it even better.

yea i just notis now when you told me about the extra strech, guess its bec of a larger grafick image, i also see the gracick all programs/extended is off on your image ill fix this tnx ,,![]()
if you meen the blue shadow, thats next on my list also the inner shadow of that windo is going to be more methal like the eges of the startmenu and clock, kinda like cut metal,
the taskbar is build for big icons only, if you look at the animation when smal icons it dosent fit to the taskbar, and i dont think i can chage startbuton in small taskbar, only, anyone now a fix to this issue ?..
glow. like k10 was saying earler the glow dosent fit at all to the skin color need to fix the entire thing also ie9 i forgoth this i only use google chrome ie9 suck bigtime
but ofc this also need to be fixed ![]()
and the clock i know about but im waiting for a update so i can do mouseover glow on the clock and this will hopfully move the icons away from the
clock but for now i use no taskbar icons then only the expander is next to the clock, .
so tnx alot bud this realy given me some good start tips on fixes i dident even know about
q: do anyone know if its posibel to disable menuanimation on extended menues ?

You COULD build a substyle for smaller icons once you're finished with the one for big icons. More people will want to download it, if it accommodates more people's preferences.

i don't know anything about skinning but this is one fine looking theme your doing, i wish you every success and hope you are around for along time, don't know what the argument was about but you are in the best place to develop your skills, they are much better people here, and im sure they will help you along.
great theme.

I noticed that if you have "small icons" enabled on taskbar properties. the start button is too big. It appears you've placed the left side of the taskbar to the left of the start button. You should remove that and have the start button "sit" on top of the taskbar.

Reply #33 Monday, December 19, 2011 9:13 PM
yes i know of it k10 told me a splended idea to make a small icon sub style,
i cant just move the side of the button the rest wont fit anyway,
so this is on my todo list, first a fix on big icon taskbar style then e new build small buton smal icon sub
tnx for the idea tho
i like when ppl help
hope you like the rest , and give more feed back. have a todo list on the top so you can see whats done and fixed already ![]()
