Haha. Erm, yeah slicing into 1 penny pieces which I'll be auctioning on ebay. :S Hopefully it will be easy peasy to recolour using WB config if you aren't keen on the blue/orange... I should know soon enough. I intend that this will be a 'nearly complete' skin - Win7, Vista and most of XP (I'll not be including toolbar icons or progress animations.) Tim
Closer - slicing into prices stage now...
This one is a very simple one - something I can use on my work PC without any distractions.
Coming soon. Free. For everyone. [e digicons]:d[/e]
Cake.
Wallpapers, clock and docks will be uploaded shortly. :)
Updated screenshot - the skin in action! (i.e. from my desktop, not just a mockup) I'm about 95% done, just doing some testing now for the Vista and XP substyles. Still outstanding are the clock and dock backgrounds, then it will be made available! [e digicons]^_^[/e]
Irokoness - I think that wallpaper was from Interfacelift. Nice colours.
Actually, with the help of Mr Neil WindowBlinds the issue is resolved. Now the start menu is using a single texture across the whole start panel, cleverly transparent on the left, big enough to cater for expanded or tall start menus, and set to 'autocrop'. :) (Uvah - The problem was that the start panel is made up of five separate bits - top, left, right, bottom and 'more programs' - and trying to get a texture to match successfully across those parts is tricky, because this texture l
Hmph. The carbon texture on the window frame and on the taskbar is easily done (in fact, it is ready now), but getting it on the start panel and being tileable both vertically and horizontally (for when the Win7 start panel expands) and matching on the top, right and bottom sections of the start panel... I'm not certain that it's possible! [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]
Slice'n'dice about 85%. Should have the images ready by the end of the day, then it's the exciting (read: dull) part of putting the actual skin together. Hopefully then I'll be able to post another screenie. After that, there's still wallpaper and gadgets to do. :S
Not quite yet, but the graphics are getting closer to completion. :) And the stripe will be staying, as it's an integral part of the colour scheme. Besides, it would otherwise just be another grey skin! :D
Happy new year all.
Happy, healthy and prosperous new year to eveyone, and a special thank you to all those who have bought my WindowBlinds skins over the past year - it is very much appreciated and helps keep me going! regards, Tim :) (I have a new skin just started - expect a preview soon!)
It may be related to whether the skin has settings to move the search box - maybe the cursor doesn't quite catch up!
Hah - Fuzzy, Rickjp, Boxxi - didn't realise you were my 'northern' neighbours. No snow here in Blackpool at all! I often think the weather just can't be arsed snowing here... just a few flakes then it gives up. A bit chilly though. Not looking forward to my gas bill next quarter. [e digicons]:\[/e]
Mum is responding well to treatment - thank you for asking.
I think it's very nice. I will purchase it.

Don't stop for a moment... [e digicons]:(O[/e] (This one's dedicated to my mum, who's quite poorly at the moment.)
;) thank you Manni
This is available now from my website: http://www.essorant.com (I've already uploaded it here, last Thursday, but it's not gone through the system yet. As soon as it's up I will post the usual extra bits!)
Lookin' good!
