What Are You Working On? (Part II)

Show us a preview!

The last post hit well over 1000, so I wanted to start another one where people can leave previews and teasers of skins or themes they are working on.

Lets see them!

I like it...but...
I like it too...but....the shapes suggest that it is a 3 dimentional space, but the shadow on the 'mesh' thingy suggests that it is just above the background. It's a little confusing to the eye.

Very nice PO!!!!!!

Thanks. Very slow going for me. I don't like the start button.  I don't personally care for the oversized start buttons.

How are you handling resizing?

HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS ON A DIET?

I don't quite know how to test for resizing. I addeed and subtracted in options the number of programs shown (From 2 to 15) and it seems to resize pretty well. The turtle shell texture leaves room for playing with and adapts well.

 

I started the OCCAM windowblind I emailed you about. That's a whole other story. The start menu I made for it did not resize so well. I would post it, but I think even vstyler would find some way to slap me and ask 'what were you thinking?'

What the hell. Here it is. I'm trying to figure out how to keep the concept and not give up anything artistically.

Hey bro I have an idea I came up eith it the first time I saw Sams shell when you posted the start menu awhile back it will probably work for both!

Could you email em to me I  will try ?

 

Thought ...(dont have many of those)..What if we made a alomost Transparent STMenu and then a single frame animation as an overlay!

If that doesnt work I am convinced(by myself) we can do Sam's with nothing more than layering!

I'll send the png's for the start windows.

Uh...yeah..okay....and then I can figure out why the beams cannot be crossed on the proton packs and how Hal Jordan came back to life.

Are you on MSN messenger?

Yes. Yes, I am. But I was constantly harrassed by skinhit and I stopped using it and couldn't even tell you what my log-on was. I'll check. But if YOU start sending me pics of yourself dressed as Candice Bergen, I'm done. I'm still having nightmares over the one skinhit sent me in his favorite Murphy Brown dress.

You should be able to pull off that start menu with layers in SKS6. It looks like the hardest part is going to be is positioning the search bar and log off buttons.

I like.

I'm currently devoting all my time to completeing a windowblind..no matter what. Everything else is on hold.  This is my last and hopefully final draft of the start menu. If you need an explanation, check out the Curried Cabbage Thread.

I don't know whether to break open the Ben&Jerry's or not...I noticed you didn't say it wouldn't work..do I finally have a workable design? I keep thinking about a lil trans in the center panel...I was waiting to see what the feedback would be. Thank you.
