Evolution of a Masterskin...Slider XP

In the beginning...

from WinCustomize Forums
Never at a loss for skinning ideas,I was however having trouble deciding what to start after Knot Vista.
vStyler was bugging me every damn day..."so...what you gonna do next?"

"Dammit John,I aint even finished Knot Vista yet" I says.

"maybe a theme based on the SR71 Blackbird,...or something that looks like vintage guitar equipment"

Instead I went with a chinese abacus...go figure.

I've tried to 'pull it off' many times...still attached...  

And this is what happens when you should just leave well enough alone...you may find yourself doing 2 wb's simultaneously.    



and NO,it wasnt as simple as just changing colors...all the layer styles had to be redone.........

It looks like the start of a great Batman skin except the color of course.
Gotta wait a year for Dark Night to come out. Waaaaaaaaaaaaah   

Cool looking skin I.R. I am maing a whitish skin right now. It will be a big adjustment from the Knot Vista skin though. Better check in with the eye Doc.

Tugging gently doesn't count.

Tell ya wot, IR, you got the makings of a very fine skin there....a whole suite, in fact. Love the brass bars and glass panels....shoot, it all looks so damn fine.
