Evolution of a Masterskin...Slider XP

Evolution of a Masterskin...Slider XP

In the beginning...

Never at a loss for skinning ideas,I was however having trouble deciding what to start after Knot Vista.
vStyler was bugging me every damn day..."so...what you gonna do next?"

"Dammit John,I aint even finished Knot Vista yet" I says.

"maybe a theme based on the SR71 Blackbird,...or something that looks like vintage guitar equipment"

Instead I went with a chinese abacus...go figure.

Looks really good...except that font(SegoeUI,bold)(font color should not be black either,try the blinds settings...I will probably go just a shade darker blue on the blue buttons,etc..)...and all the inactive tabs should be blue and the active one green like in the WB.

No problem Mike! Minor adjustments! And I know better than to think you wouldn't make more changes to the skin.

Do tabbed docks zoom?Or is it like a big tray?
Reply #208 Top
No...tabbed docks don't zoom....you can have the icons zoom in or out...but its only the side docks (Zoomers) that can have the zoom out effect on the icons.

I tested teh clock: Friggen cool.
I've never seen anything like it!
Only coment: I wish it could collapse to hide the abacus-like area.  I make sure it's showing on the hours to watch two pegs fall. 

Yes, I am a nerd.

Soon Bilbo.      

Me too Zubaz...its kinda mesmerizing...like I need another distraction.    

Right now its got a minor bug...those labels at top are covers for the ball stacks...but DX is stacking them in front because it does the ball cloning last...RomanDA can probably fix it.  

Shrink would be cool but that would eventually defeat it coolness...it would quickly become a largish cal-clock with no sliding.DAvid is already a busy guy so I dont wanna make this any harder than I already do(ask Bilbo and Webgizmos  ).If I COULD do it,I would have it shrink to the top most ball visible and then open up for each ball drop.Then shrink back up to the topmost ball.

Bet that would be hard huh?  (I can read script about half the time,David can write it.)

Mike, this suite is looking awesome. That clock you showed me when we met last week is amazing. The WB looks incredible and with Bilbo's widgies and WG's docks etc etc etc it could be one of the all time great suites. Man, I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished article. Outstanding, simply outstanding and huge respect to a man who wants to 'buck the norm' and follows thru' on creative ideas
