Voodoo - WIP
Tuesday, September 4, 2012 by k10w3 | Discussion: Sneak Previews
Since I'm pretty much finished with my GUIC submission (still sitting on it, giving myself some time to make sure all things are perfect), I've been putting my creative juices towards my Halloween desktop, which is my favorite skin to create. 
You know how some skins just seem to build themselves, and others are kind of an agonizing frustration? This one is an agonizing frustration. Something's just not right, and no matter how many times I look at it and change things, it's not feeling like it's working, (maybe it's cursed?) so I thought I would post a WIP thread and get some help from the community.
Give me your thoughts on what needs to change.

Thanks, Tom -- I think I might, although the wide title bar is driving me mad, as it doesn't want to play nice with Firefox. If I set the OS Caption height where it's suppose to be, Firefox leaves a gap between the frame and the Window Top Glass area when maximized, (unless you resize the window and then re-maximize it), and if I set the OS Caption to 29 (as was suggested in the forums when Snowman was having an issue with titlebar/tabs in FF) I get this really funky looking box behind the minimized window. I tried re-designing the frame to be narrower, but it just destroyed the look, and there was no room to add in the shrunken head glyph then, and I'm not willing to lose the shrunken head.

Firefox does not work perfectly with all WB's Karen, nothing you can do about it, so all you can do is ignore it if you want your creativity to shine through, (which is definitely more important).

I agree with LightStar, don't lose your head over Firefox.

Real beauty. Looks awesome on my desktop. Thanks

I've edited the skin to fix the tooltip issue and add the custom font, so if you downloaded yesterday's skin, you should probably delete it and re-download the newer, improved version as soon as it passes moderation.
Thanks
