thank you very much Zubaz and i think you are too modest



Ok for Black text i'll see if that match good thanks vStyler

I'll make it a little less transparent too thank you guys for the answer

first try of anim copy file

I like the new start menu better ....good icons but maybe its the image itself...folder looks rough
You are moving right along Quentin....looking great

It's My Secret

I use icons by a friend-> Dark-Cells on DA that i have resized and modify for test the ani making that's just a test for the moment not the final version but that's the colors i want.
I'm gonna to ask him (when he will finished his set) if i can use them for match with my WB. you can find his work HERE and HERE
At this time to see how match this kind of colors with my WB i use LK Iconpackage by DuoPixart

Nice, like that

Thanks a lot Bilbo

Ok change some things and also font colors and a little the transparency in Start Menu

Ok I stop for this day i will go sleep

This is the first I've seen of your new (first even) blind Q (I tend to be late to these things sorry hehe).

Not too shabby my friend... I'm curious as to why some of your 'rounded corners' and such look pixelated. If you want or need some hints, tips or help with that (or anything else) feel free to ask. Now that I see this I'll keep a watch on it keep up the good work   

Thanks a lot , I think i'll ask you and vStyler to see it . I'm wondering if i have made some mistakes in it or not

Thank you very much for the tips SK
I have changed the Windows frames i hope it's better

Looking great Quentin.....now.....please tell us....the people watching & wanting to learn what the tips were to fix those windows please & Thank You

If you add the tips & tricks to the thread....we do learn & can always bookmark the thread

It's My Secret

In fact i haven't fix them, i have completely rebuild them. At beginning i have make each part of borders in different files (save as PNG) imported them in SkinStudio (who save them as bmp or tag in function of the transparency settings) and rebuild them to match together pixel per pixel. It appear that wasn't the good way .

By SK i learned yesterday how make them. Here the link to his Tutorial

For Shell Animations i have use this two tutorials to find my way link 1
link 2
Just i use AVIQuick(free) in place of Flash

For make this WB i use the basic XP template in SKS and just look at many others WB where i can add or keep out this or this section/element

I love learn and share what/where i learn. And in this way, If you (all people) see errors/mistakes or get just ideas (just i want to keep my vision of this WB thus that's doesn't means i take all ) and want to tell me some tips or others you are welcome.

For all others tips (in tutos or by myself) i think to make a List of tips with links after, like a making off. but i can also put them as soon as i found them here.
That's not means that i don't want put them here, just i need time to understand (or translate) well SKS, WB, and tutorials.

Hope that's clear with my english

How i have made the buttons=
some ranges with the same color but at various level of luminosity. I used the tool "Pen" to make the round edges. And after i set the opacity level at 90%.

Thank you for the links Quentin, much appreciated.

Now I understand what you are doing.

If you add links after could you note which reply # the link goes with.

It is easier to understand with the image or link to it.

I apologize if I am bugging, but with people following along & wanting to learn but not familiar with the program or knowledge I would like to be able to refer back to a post like this

Again thanks for doing this and I hope more skinners will do this and add a bit of info & tips or tricks so that more people can learn.

It's My Secret

I hope to

I making a tuto to make a close button i hope that can help people too

thanks Bilbo

The Tuto for close button is made you can found it here How made a Close button with Photoshop

Buttons for windows not per pixels finished
i began those for per pixels, close button finished.
I have finished the taskbar bottom/top/right/left position.
And i have take a break this afternoon to make other staff and play with my daughter

Ok I have finished some others things...

In fact, i need to make shell animations but for the others i think i have finished

I'm wondering who want to test it....

Creating 'Shell Animations' for SkinStudio Part 2 by Life is a game is now here

Oh and tell me if you need to know something on SKS and WB making and i'll try to find a good tuto or to make it.

Quentin looks great...upload to your personal page...provide link...I will test...more will too.
I think that a WIP uploaded to your personal page is a good idea to implement for all..plus gets more people seeing your work

It's My Secret

In fact i'm gonna to upload it today or tomorrow depends of how many time i need to check out all and get some opinions
I send you a MP with a link
