Looking to commission modification to a skin or a new skin
Wednesday, June 8, 2022 by Solforo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hello,
I am looking to pay someone to make a skin modification for me (or a new skin if that's easier).
What I'm looking for is a skin that:
- is minimalist -- this is mostly for work, so I don't need fancy window decorations eating into screen space
- is low contrast (e.g. light gray application/document background; darker gray window elements; no pure white anywhere)
- works well with non-smoothed fonts (i.e. Arial is good, Segoe is bad)
- works well with 125% scaling (I'm using 125% scaling in Win10 and I don't plan on stopping)
- has minimal visual glitches as I find those quite distracting
To demonstrate the kind of stuff I'm looking for, this is what I've been using on Win7 until I had to switch to Win10: https://www.jottacloud.com/s/1605c53bd22a99246e79163c599ca222a5d/thumbs/desktop-win7.png
What would work:
One option is 'The Windows Classic Theme' https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/9233
If this could be recolored to use darker shade of gray for window elements (and possibly fix some animations so they work okay with that darker gray), replace Segoe with e.g. Arial, fix some minor bugs I've seen (I'm using this skin as a stop-gap) and maybe make scrollbars a tad smaller, then it would do very well.
Another possible option is something like Echo skin by danioc (I can't for the life of me find it on the website, it might've come as standard with WindowBlinds?).
I like the dark taskbar but I don't like styling of windows and scrollbars (plus it will need to work well with gray document/application background).
Please, if someone is willing and able to do this kind of work, get in touch with me, so we can discuss details.
P.S. I did have similar post earlier, I thought I'd had someone to do the work for me, however that didn't work out, so I'm asking again.
