My first skin (no name)

from WinCustomize Forums
Hi,
this is my first skin.
I just made a picture with photoshop so it isn't really a skin.
Could someone make this skin for me ? I'll send him the .psd file and would make the other stuff that you will need for a skin (start menu etc...).

Would you like a Xion skin out of that?

looks good... You should try and make this theme yourself. Just keep in mind that dark backgrounds come with their own set of problems because of the many windows default settings.

I want this as a windowblinds skin ^^


WB's take a long time, if you want it your best bet would be to learn how to make it...looks great tho!

I agree with Skinnhit....the best thing would be for you to make it yourself....it does take a long time, but when you are finished, you will have such a sense of accomplishment! If you need any help on how to proceed, I, and (I'm sure) many other folks are more than willing to help! All you have to do is ask!

Good luck!

make a WB can take weeks or months depends how you want it
Make a little everyday is a good idea and use it since the first day (luna theme >_<) you imposes to do it and allow you to see what need to be change in it.
and if you need help back to this forum post and ask us we all will be there to help you to do it

hmm yeah but i don't have time :/


Mocking a skin up isnt the easiest task by all means but compared to actually making it a reality theres a huge difference. So thus far its your first mockup.. now.. grab the bull by the horns and don't let go. Also, as SK said, you will have problems with some of the areas of the skin just by looking at the mockup, windows doesnt play well with black themes.

Good luck to you

Dark themes are a P.I.T.A. as I'm learning, but they look so cool if done right!

i agree with monkey face....grab the bull by the horns..you've commited as far as concieving the idea to actually putting it down on paper, even if you spend an hour a day/or night/ to turn it into a windows blind, the end results are way worth more then just getting someone to do it.

PLUS if you need help, everyone here is always ready to answer you questions... good luck!
