My First Windowblind

from WinCustomize Forums

Well, guys, be easy on me, this is my first one. Here is what I have so far. It is based on a wall I made a while back. Gonna be a plain, simple and useable skin for my first. Please zoom.  :grin:

true...but any vertical or horizontal gradient will band if stretched :dur:

The placement of the start menu looks much better!  :thumbsup:

Looking good and of to a great start!

One (ok maybe 2 or 3 small things :P ) small thing i noticed, match the gradient on the border/outline of the startmenu to that of your taskbar & window frames to get that connected uniform look, also maybe give the corner the same radius as the taskbar or window frames ;) (is the outline 3px on startmenu and 2px on taskbar? maybe my eyes decieve me)... I hate giving critique on these things i never know if im overstepping.

A tip i want to share and that makes things easier in future endeavours, if you didnt do it already that is :), designing the overall look at a early stage create the startmenu, taskbar and windowframes on the same canvas that way you get a better feeling of it and consistency. And save the colors and styles in the palette(!).

Yeah, that's huge! Saves a lot of trouble and color-hunting.

I'll get back on the blind soon. I must say, DX is likely to be my true calling? Blinds are not easy! I have a newfound respect for anyone who makes a good WB. I salute you!!

Uh yeah!!! Even the movie had 3 sequels of "I'll be back!"!  XD Now I know you've been in my meds chest! :)

I checked this out earlier. You got a way with images RnD. Your DX skins rock big time so why should a WB be any different. Besides and here I quote ......

I'm having help from one of the best
