Frosted WIP

from WinCustomize Forums

Just thought I'd make public my plans for my 5th WindowBlind skin. I'm calling it "Frosted." It is basically a white version of Tinted.

When I finished Tinted, I began to think about the type of skin I'd like to do next. I just couldn't shake the desire for my own take on a clear, light and fresh glassy skin. Believe me, I tried to shake the notion!

Part of me would really like to move on to my other plans... which will be announced shortly... but before I do, I show you my progress on Frosted!

At the rate I'm going, it should be finished in early January. It will contain substyles for XP, Vista, and W7.

I like the clean and sharp look, Brian. Finish it up! :thumbsup:

Yeah... orright... I could see myself using it.  In fact, based on thelooks of the screenie, I could see myself actually liking using it.... too.

And if I have to, I could even see myself wating patiently until early January to test this theory out.... but only just.  Any longer and I could very well suffer with anticipation and anxiety issues, thus requiring me to go back on meds and maybe even dusting off the strait jacket.... tho I might have to get the seams let out... put on a bit of weight over Chrissie.

Best not dilly-dally, then. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ;) :sun: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks guys! It just so happens that the parts of the skin that I haven't finished yet are also some of the most time consuming ones. X|

I'll work as fast as I can... while still getting it right. :)

No real hurry now, Brian... the missus let out me strait jacket and I just filled another script for calm-me-downers...

.... just in case. :rofl:

Of course, you know, you'll have to do a dark version/sub-style to cover a 'black frost' :w00t:

And maybe one with a yellowish twinge....  a 'yellow snow' sub-style, so to speak.  :-"

Hehe! Nope, I usually stay away from yellow snow... :puke:

Besides, this is the third skin where I'm using the same base template. I'm moving on to something radically different on the next one... :X

Same here!  Which is probably why I'll never holiday in Alaska.  You just never know when you're going to run into Sarah Palin... or where she's 'been'.

:D

Hmmm, that sounds intriguing.  Something "radically different' has me all eyes and ears with antici... pation. <_<

Not currently; having one black element would cause a major inconsistency in the look of the skin. However, I may be able to be bribed into doing a clear & black version. I had considered it anyway...

All in favor...

Everything's done except for the Vista/7 Navigational buttons and the XP file animations. Then I have to set the substyles. Then testing... At the rate I'm going, I should have this puppy released sometime next week. :)

Jim, you've got mail!
