work on hold / have no name yet

Sunday, December 16, 2012 by benmanns | Discussion: Skinning

I know that it will still take time till wb8 but i wanted to make something meanwhile so i just started to play around a bit today...
since im on windows8 i currently cant go and cut it into pieces and throw it all into SKS...
but i wanted to show you guys anyway... This is my first idea for a minimalistic skin... as always im happy for feedback of any kind including, critic and tips
Here is the preview 

PS: the preview is a bit darker here on wincustomize than it is actually... the grey is much more milky

uhm wow so many replys didnt expect this to be honest, uhm thanks - so i like the name powerstitch sounds cool.
gmc - i didnt continue working on this currently im making overlays for starcraft2 recieved a request about it and its fun  no margins no strechy things... EZ !
To your question the windowframes will be very similar to the startmenu but without the middle fade and the Sqared line that seperates the "all programs" from the searchbar and shutdown buttons.
speaking of buttons those circular thingys represent shutdown and i wanted them to "pulse"  from red to white.
The startbutton is the one with Power on it as the windowframes will be labeled in a similar way...
Im not satisfied with the taskbar i will change that red/grey  stripe i think...
then when i have the frames and buttons ready i will wait or make a plan for another one.

Used as personal skin atm...
sorry wasnt intending to tease... just think its not worth uploading
