Regardless, I'd say a dark version of this would be killer as well.

Gets my vote as well!

You could call the 'naked' one shiro-ninja and the dark one ninja.

Not a bad idea... might use that

Hey! Pyrates have issues when they're zygotes! A broadside to anyone who sez different!

Excellent work John!

Question:  For Bilbo, Messiah, WebGizmos and Pixel-Z

You guys are building all of the complementary components and after looking at Bilbo's shot I'm curious as to how are you going to address the fonts.

Will all the components have the same ability to switch fonts like Bilbo's DX or will there be a dark and light font version for each like the blinds?

I can only imagine that this would be a huge pain in the ass, especially for WinStep.  But the true blending nature adaptabilities depends largely on the dark and light fonts to offset lighting, which in turn will give Naked components 100% versatility in any light condition, contrast or texture, matching both Naked WB styles.

Without this, you just have a chunk of pretty but unreadable glass on your desk.

I'm positive that this is already a consideration for you dudes, but this all came to mind being that both Xion designs I've seen have white fonts.

I can do 2 different versions or just one and let everyone change the fonts themselves...but I have to wait for John to finish before I can get started since I don't have the skins just yet.

See, that's exactly what I'm talkin' about.

Now the question is, how hard is that to do in a WinStep theme Steve?  Would the casual user have a difficult time making the switch.  Because if it isn't easy, they lose interest. 

I personally know where you can in the Workshelf configuration, but we're talking about folks more on a novice level who are afraid to play with defaults.  Would it be hard for them?  Know what I mean?

Again, depending on the lighting from the background, it can just look like a bunch of glass if the fonts aren't right.

The on-the-fly font switch that Bilbo incorporated into his DX widget was pure genius.  It would be stellar if you were somehow able to integrate this ability into the Xion and WinStep too.

Maybe a Naked WSE dark and light would be better, just more work for you.

It isn't the degree-age of difficulty with the fonts Doc.  It's more of a matter of if these components such as Pixel-Z's Naked Xion player has only one color font, let's say it's white, then it loses 50% of it's purposely constructed adaptability because it's limited to certain lightings on the background.

And the critical consideration of alpha blending is it's readability on any surface.

So the question I posed was to ask if the ability to switch fonts on the fly is more lucrative, as opposed to merely leaving a novice at the mercy of having to in their mind, hack let's say their WinStep theme to get the correct font for the surface they're currently using.  Or, do you just make two of everything thereby eliminating the issue?  And we know that that's more work on the skinners.

Basically I was asking what was the plan for these complementary components Doc.

vStyler was fully aware of this consideration and that's exactly why he built a substyle with a black font.

Play with some glass components with a white font on dark and bright walls and you'll understand what I mean.

It's not really hard Cp...it's just that you'd have to do it for each module and then the workshelf...starbar...menu...and so on...so I'll just make it easier for everyone and do it myself. Of course there will always be someone that wants something else...so I'll leave that up to them.
