Thursday, September 13, 2012 by vStyler | Discussion: Sneak Previews
A theme I have wanted to do for a long time, never got around to it, until now.
Spent quite a bit of time on just the start menu...
Might just enter GUIC.. who knows.. 
Will post more as I go...
Cheers!

Vstyler - i wasn't talking about the lensflare on the top left i meant the gradient that starts from the center of the startmenu...
i know that sometimes you cant really see the ripples depending on the angle your looking at your monitor but for me these are clearly visible even in the reduced screenshot that has the size of my in use startmenu... no offense just trying to help buddy

Yeah...I'm aware.. tough to get rid of banding \ ripples as u call them if you want any kind of inner glow.. I know what u mean.... but without.. doesn't have the depth that I would like.
Its also going to depend on the type of monitor one is on and its settings. For instance barely noticeable at all on my monitor, Which is an IPS, designed for graphics....altho.. I do see it... but really to me, its negligible and if I want the inner glow there's very little that can be done, that I haven't done already.
Typically on a wallpaper or something that doesn't stretch, being creative with Gaussian blur and noise can help some but more difficult on a stretchable Start menu.
C'est la vie!
Thanks TBC

'H A L 2012'
looks so hot.... think you should name it.... 'Jalapeno'.... 
i know that sometimes you cant really see the ripples depending on the angle your looking at your monitor but for me these are clearly visible even in the reduced screenshot that has the size of my in use startmenu...
not noticeable on either of my monitors.... ...have it in ps zoomed to over 450% before faintly noticeable...

Banding shows up less on a WB than in the PS Draft........especially if you're going semi-trans with blur enabled on the section in question.
Looks like a winner to me, Johnny!

HAL: I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.

I got the image up on my screen. That gradient is awesome! I've been experimenting with gradients using the inner and outer glows. Difficult to blend the two. Always there's this faint circle dead center so I feel your pain.
BTW...keep moi in mind for this one. I'm so greedy.
