And another..............

Pretty

Hehe it's never going to be a wb hehe I'm just fooling around

Hey TYCUS, that looks great man! And Boxxi, that's awesome too!

Hey Jak, that icon is sweet bro!

Boxxi , that looks very cool so far. It may be my favorite of your skins yet. One thing though the curvy cursor looks out of place with everything else so angular.

Got a bit further......

Well as some of you know I am going to attempt my first thingy (a 2of3 word) ever. If I get hooked somebody is in trouble.

I have no idea what I am doing but I spent a lot of time reading articles here to try to learn.

Ranger375, what do you want to make? I will help if I can, just give me a shout. My MSN is [email protected]

Well it has been suggested to start with a Logon and not Vista Logon - so that is where I am going to start.

Had to come back to add something - uh...have you LOOKED at your gallery? Wow - you have some serious talent!!!

Cool..... some of the logons these days are quite complex, with scripting etc. But it's not too tough to make a basic one. Do you use Photoshop? if you do then a Xion skin is a great place to start, very easy and very satisfying to skin. I can help with that too.

hehe..... thanks. I have been at it for a while.

600 uploads to date, I think. (I've been addicted for a long time..... hahaha).

Yes, Photoshop, Corel, and a bunch of other stuff that I seem to have collected. I will look into Xion.

Scripting is not a problem - I do have a little background in that sort of thing. It will be the art side I will need to sharpen.

I need to go somewhere to get inspired. Hey maybe I could pull a trailer up beside vStyler's house so I can feel the "force"!

I am truly flattered at your offer - I may just take you up on it if I get stuck. (like I am going to know if I get stuck.) There is a lot of information on the site too that I have been going through.

Yeah, definitely look at Xion! Have fun!!

BoXXi doing a blind     could have sworn I heard someone tell me they were done with 'em looking good man, is the font on the Start Menu going to be the skin font?

Just finished this.


gonna recolour it before release.

Not much to do on this now.....

That background is awesome!

Nice wallpaper!

Aroche, why not?

I'm thinking about doing it.... WWW Link

Wow that's pretty nice man, and mine's too busy to work as a start menu I think hehe but wbs aren't really easy for me, although I'll definetely try someday

BoXXi, that is wicked cool! (Just how many projects have you got going at one time?!)



Parts of my unnamed DXtheme so far:



The white part of the start menu is supposed to be a navigator; shortcuts to usual folders along the left side, contents appear in the window when clicked.

The side with the calendar is where the usual extra widgets are supposed to go (media, weather, meters, etc).

The start menu is my biggest challenge in this theme due to the level of interactivity and integration, but I'm taking it a day at a time.

Sviz: I usually have up to 4 or 5 WB's at different stages of completion. I get bored easily, so I jump from skin to skin.

More progress:



I'm not so happy with the transparency on some of the panels ..... I think they should match each other.

This is a work in progress, and it's as close to a Christmas skin as you'll get from me. I'm not really a Christmas person.................. Bah! Humbug!!

working on a new Kylie Bootskin.. 2 versions.. one for XP Home and one for XP Pro.
