Miricla & Tinted: WIP

His 'n Hers Blinds

from WinCustomize Forums

I recently began work on a new WindowBlind I am calling 'Miricla.' This is a skin that I am making specifically for my wife, Brysgirl. She has not been able to find that 'perfect skin' yet, so I am creating it for her.

It is primarily blue in color and quite glassy. I chose the blue color because I just couldn't bring myself to work with pink. This skin is a recolorers dream, and looks good however you set the color slider in the config settings.

When I complete Miricla, I will begin work on 'Tinted,' which will be essentially identical in most ways to Miricla, just with dark glass rather than blue. Also, the Tinted WB will be made to match the ObjectDock backgrounds I have already created of the same name.

I's like to see a background design behind the back\forward arrows in Explorer and IE, a lot of skinners seem to be bypassing that element for some reason, not utilizing the power and functions available that SKS provides...... :|

After thinking on this a bit, I see more resemblance to iPhonix or Eminence than I do to Rapture, IMHO.

I think the objective behind true skinning is bringing a new and different prospective to one's designs. Trying as hard as one can to not resemble.. anything that has come before.....  IMHO  ;)

The start menu isn't matching the the caption lighting, one has a curved lighting highlight, one is completely a horizontal highlight. Lighting direction, strength, overlay mode etc,  should always match up throughout the wb.

The arrows are how I want them in this skin.

Not trying to resemble anything or anyone. It was an observation hoping to quell any other observations about this being a Vienna clone.

Which I tried to do with Miricla, and many of those things are being carried over or even modified in Tinted. This skin is what I desire in a dark glassy skin. It is fully my style. Now moving on... :ninja:

ObjectDock - Access shortcuts and frequently used applications from an animated dock.

Did I take a crazy pill by mistake? I don't see Vienna in this. Where's the similarity?

I'm fine tuning the design of the start menu to match more with the new taskbar.

Jim, this is why I haven't given you anything yet. I tend to get it "set" then I become dissatisfied and re work everything. X-( It doesn't matter how detailed I get in my mock-up, I always still change things a gizallion times!

Plodding through slowly but surely. Been doing a lot of the more "boring" and somewhat unnoticable parts lately. But, greatness is in the details, right?

I've also heard that the Devil is in the details... }:)

Logoff buttons still not skinned X-( but I'll be getting to those shortly.

XP / Vista is very close to being done.

And really, I guess that 7 is too!

Thanks guys! Jim, you have mail!

By the way, I made some ObjectDock backgrounds, and will probably do a few more.

Jim is doing the DX theme, and possibly some widgets.

I might be interested in designing the graphics for widgets for Jim or any other DX guy out there (AV, where are you?)

Fred, would you like to do a RightClick?

And I'm kinda secretly hoping that someone might want to try their hand at an IconPackage, or possibly a cursor...

 

Any takers?

It will have a media player, calendar, and meters. Weather seperately. If that's ok.

Hey, I just noticed that the "lock" icon on the middle button might be a pixel too far to the left... John, what do you think?
