"Live Free Or Die Hard" windowblinds theme

from WinCustomize Forums

OK, this is pretty cool. You all remember that Die Hard movie from like 3,5 years ago? You know, the - "Live Free or Die Hard" one? And you remember that guy called Matthew Farrell in the movie? Well, that dude had some pretty cool OS he used on his computer, that looked like this(screenshots from the movie):

So, I was wondering, is there anyone out there among you windowblinds skinners with a skill to make a theme like this for Windows 7? I bet it would be a very downloaded piece of software. Can someone do it? It doesn't look very complicated, as it is very simple, two color theme. I would've done it myself, but i don't have the necessary skills.

OK, worked up a quick explorer layout, will look a little different when finished but you get the idea.

LightStar, I again forgot to mention this - I was wondering, is it possible to make the copy progress bar animation to look like this:

 

 

as seen in the movie? Or at least similar?

I to thought this was a cool look when I saw the movie the first time but, I never thought to ask a skinner to make it because I know the amount of work that goes into window blinds. I really like the designs you have come up with Lightstar keep up the Great work. Now I can only hope that it has a windows 7 substyle :grin:

Its what if you're (you are) hurt. Its called a compound something. English is like buttons to me. I suck at it. :)

You are right it looks ten times better!!!! Most of the user interfaces on movies were not built to be functional just look good but in this case Tom's looks better and actually works!!!

I think he means the movie doesn't come close to your WB. Like theA/VMAN said, WB's actually work. Scenes from a movie just sit there doing not much. Great blind Lightstar. 5* 5*

1. Syd, I like your avatar a great deal especially with Australia/Foundation/Rum Rebellion Day coming so soon!

2. Tom, a Master indeed. You're taking a screen shot and are turning it into a top drawer blind. Congrat's on the skill to do that!

3. You've made a great wall for it as well (haven't seen the brown/orange one but it's probably dynamite).

4. For anyone interested, there's a great dream that seems to go along with it: High-Tech by Chaorendabusi.

Thanks for the hard work, Tom! :thumbsup: 5*
