CONSTRUCT for windowblinds
Saturday, January 5, 2013 by TomRichter | Discussion: Skinning
This being a very fresh startmenu look of my first master skin. On Woodoku I was happy to play
with wooden stuff. Now I am trying to play a bit with metallic one. I understand this is not too much
for you to get any concrete picture, but I would like to share my first steps with you to
see what you think about it. Not sure how much time it takes to finish as we are still awaiting a new born
(Due date is today or tomorrow they say). So definitely I do not know, once Mathew is born, what will be
the best way to combine taking care of him and family with skinning. But let´s see. When releasing Technix
I told I would not be doing another one and then I created 3 other skins.
Comment, critisize, whatever... I am always happy to see your thoughts.
Yours
Tom

It's OK I guess. I'm thinking you for forget about it and just send it to me because I dreamed I made that psd a couple night ago and loved it.

Waiting to see more!
Mate, you are really flattering me when mentioning I.R. Brainiac.

Dave, I like you mate. The SMenu pic updated. Now it looks as it is meant to be.

Like me.
It´s gonna be sorta challenge to me. I wanna do a couple of animated stuff on it too, but I´d better speak to Andy aka Neone6 as he is a real deal about SMENU and Sbutton animations.
I would be glad for any helping hand on this and will try to keep you updated.

killed it - love the way you connected placeslist and the bottom - ohh wait is it the placeslist i guess so its been a while 
but the Avatar/userpicture background looks to straight up, a little bit more puzzle piece look couldn´t hurt i think but all in all this looks creative original and very nice like always

You had to look inside my head as you 100% defined what I was thinking of. I will try to play more with user pic and the area around. I have a thought I might do a kind of clips that keeping the user pic.

Just kidding around. Love this WB. I'm working on something now. No need to make anything up for me.
Ok then, but I guess you won´t be killing me if I make up something, will you?

Sounds good

One thing... might not be possible, but perhaps a substyle where disabling the user picture won't leave the top pipes open and just hanging in space...
Also... perhaps "connector plates" for where the tubes connect to the frames.... ? Might look better? Possibly not?
Haven't made the "connector Plates" yet... will if you're interested.

Reduced 82%Original 460 x 534

Seth, please mark that place as I am not being 100% sure I get it. All connector plates or some in particular?
As for the user pic, I will go without it. I felt like the pic was a sorta jarring but thought a lot of folks around just loved
having a user pic, that is why I put it in. Thanks Seth, if anything else, just let me know

Shades of I.R. Brainiac! A variation on a theme! That's what it reminds me of. Now if I could only remember the name of the skin....I'm so bad.
Waiting to see more!
