Sol III WIP in Sneak Previews WinCustomize Forums

Here's the first draft of a concept design I started on today. Mind you, this is an early draft which could change drastically as I go along! The skin name is Sol III because that is one of the names for Earth in the ST universe and also because there are 3 styles. Update: Added stripes. Cuz I like stripes!

Notice sometimes when you are on your myskins page, that the comment count doesn't show new comments right away, but if you go to the skin itself there are new comments and the download count is higher by a few numbers?

[/quote] Masterskins have nothing to do with Stardock. They are produced by users who have earned the privilege to sell their skins here on Wincustomize. A WB skin is a very time consuming effort and artists should be compensated for their time! Besides, there are plenty of free skins available ( I

I remember someone was asking about the skinny Start Menu from the xp days (can't find the thread anymore). That look is actually achievable in win 10. And it almost works! It renders the all programs basically useless and the search bar is...problematic. Who knows, with a bit of tweaking you might be able to make it work.

The gray box around the file name (dk_green.png) is connected to the combo boxes which I haven't skinned yet....it will be light green.

In case anyone is following, I've gotten a lot done. What I've shown previously, has been the draft drawing in Photoshop. Here it is in the build stage. Still lots to do!

This is a design that I started on a while ago, but left "simmering" in my brain. Problem is, I know of 2 skinners who have recently done "circuit board" themed skins recently. Then again, this design does differ significantly from the others. What do you all think? I would do a version where the label on the processor in

[quote who="neone6" reply="89" id="3779418"] THIS is an example of why I still think that there are possibilities of opening up areas in WindowBlinds for Transparency and/or Images. [/quote] Agreed. We need something that combines Curtains, Start 10, and WB all in one!
