Noir II WB - A Work In Progress
Tuesday, January 10, 2012 by RedneckDude | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Working on my next windowblind. I have several skins ready to go with it. If anyone wants to make a SMX, or rainmeter,etc. let me know.
I have docks, walls, cursor, rainlendar, and all the DX stuff, naturally.

Cool! Don't I know that name from somewhere, though... how about "Sniper" or "Assassin"?

I agree with Doc's comment. I think using that name would not be appropriate and a better choice is out there to be had

Looking real sweet Jim and with all the goodies included. Self made for Philly to put together.
Not to side track however. You are up to 2AM skinning. Now we have to see you at 7AM. Give us a break will you. To see a redneck for 19 hours a day is a bit much.

I like it. The wallpaper adds a hint of Art Deco, which is my favorite of all the Decos.

looks good, i think you should change the name also..
one question but, the cursor on the screenshot looks very fearomone inspired... is it for personal use only?
best regards,
kitty and andy.

The cursor in the screenshot is a few weeks old. I made it before you released Fearomone, and no, it's an uploader. I must say that your cursor works really well with my current desktop though.
It's a WIP, that hasn't been skinned yet...and I agree...lol.
I'll get with you, Uvah, when I'm closer to done.
Thanks guys, I'll consider the name change, but originally, I meant the DX to be an updated version of my old Noir DX so I may stick with it.
BTW, unless I decide different, the blind and the DX will be master skins. All the rest free.
Oh, and thanks for comments!

I've had RnD's cursor for testing since Dec. 26th. It's black and blue and pointy. Gee, I've never seen any others like that in the gallery.
Noir DX was/is one of my favorite themes and was released well before any WindowBlind with Noir in the name. I used it clear back in 2008 on Vista. IMO, if anyone is entitled to use Noir II it would be Jim.
(now don't forget to e-mail me my free copy as promised, Jim.)

Could well be... but still confusing to senile guys like me.
OH boy. glad you said it. Don't speak for me just because I'm old.
JIM, as far as the name maybe just pick something with Noir in it such as "ROYAL NOIR". If not leave it as is or pick another one and as always it's your choice.
After all Royal does mean - Noble; generous; magnificent; princely.

In other words, name it after me.

It looks good, Jim, but what about the text colour?

If you mean the clock text, it's been fixed. I'm using Hardwood as a template, and I just hadn't changed it yet. I'll update the shot soon.

I was referring to the right side of the Start menu--it's black on black.

I like it, but in my opinion the orange/peach clock colour doesn't go well with the blue. I would recommend a black clock colour with a lighter shade of blue glow
