This is from the 'One Piece At A Time' forum threads and is an addition to the Start Menu.
I started the thread along with three very talented skinners who offered to help me learn how to make Windowblinds. My hope is that others who want to learn how to make a Windowblind or are having trouble figuring it out can also benefit from the thread and files.
This first thread covers the design only of the Start Panel & Taskbar areas of a Windowblind.
I am uploading the actual PSD files for anyone who wants to follow along, learn from, play around, or whatever.
I invite everyone to follow the threads and if you want, make your own contribution (Rainlendar, Docks, Etc.)
A special thanks to 2of3, Vampothika, and neone6 for sharing their knowledge, support, and most of all patience with me. And a thanks to everyone else who has stopped in to help and offer tips.
You can find the two threads (design and assembling) for this download here :
LinkLinkThere is also information there on some of the techniques used in the design with links to tutorials as well.
This download contains a zip with one psd file (in layers) of the Start Panel Search Mode, windowsbitmap, and includes all you see in the preview. The search mode design and windowbitmap are courtesy of 2of3.
