Pushing the Limits of My Skills

...hope I have some hair left when this is finished....

from WinCustomize Forums

Everything you see...every spike, rivet, and strap...I made in Photoshop. I'm rather proud of myself, lol. This one is going to test my skills, and push my limits like no other blind, so if you hear screaming in frustration....it's just me pulling out my hair.

 This start panel took a long time to get right...and I learned a few things in the process. I imagine that this one will take a while to complete.

It still needs a name. It's called Armageddon. (Thanks Syd!)

Awesome, by the looks of the start menu when open, will still show dock drawers on the left instead of covering them up ? If so, this is going to be over the top WB. Love Love Love it :inlove:

Yup, it looks like you will be able to see them. They get a little hidden behind the spikes, but they are still visible. ;)

Interesting idea. I may use something like that...may not...have not decided yet.

If you want the image Xiandi let me know. ;)

I have some of both of those items in my gallery... along with a bunch of other Medieval stuff that can be used if so desired.

Thank you for the offer Sir Pirate, they are very nice, but I want this one to be 100% my work.

That's fine, Lady Xi... I understand completely and appreciate... no, laud/praise your decision to use only your own work.

:thumbsup: :)

Doesn't stop me (anybody else) from using them to compliment this positively unique and interesting WB, though, does it??

okee dokee ;)

scrollbars, nav buttons, icons, tabs, flattened the windowframe a bit so it looks like the taskbar, redid the toolbar buttons so the normal state is blank, plus alot of controls and little bits are done.

Still a couple things to fix...the progress animation is jumping, urgh. The 'please wait' screen is almost done. The wallpaper is almost done. I'm getting there! :grin:

The whole thing is a work of art, I,personally am very impressed, most people might have given up on something as complex as this, Its really good to see a fellow WC skinner doing things the right way, your a shining example.

Proud of ya.  5*

meh

i like the image from the start button - like a skull and shit

but

i would rather see a big ass square button for the start button, to go with the big ass upper shoulder spike things.

i dont wanna go mojo but a big ass square metal start button, and having just a few thin crack lines with subtle fire color between the cracks would totaly f*kg rock.

 

why wont i make a think like that myself?

because i couldnt get myself to do something like that! :grin:
