Stealth Drone - In The Gallery!

My First Master Skin

My first Masterskin. I think I'm pretty much satisfied with how this looks, although I think the start button may change. It seems a bit plain compared to the rest of it. Just the mockup is done so far ... 238 layers in all. o_O

There will be a light substyle as well. The taskbar buttons are transparent, so the Win7 button colors show through. The library top image will probably go lighter once I see what color the text will be in there (sure wish we had control of that). The dial looking buttons 'turn' for different states.

It needs a name and I can't think of one. If you come up with a name I like, you'll get a  free copy of the skin. B)

Navigatsio, Uvah, and LadyShrike1 named it. Thank you!!! Each of you will get a free copy when it's done.  :sun:

I might suggest toning down the highlights on the upper parts of the side bits mate, would match the WB better.

Just a sugg.

This is going to be one heck of desktop theme.  I can't hardly wait until it's released.  :sun:

damn Xiandi! I am so impressed...my 2 cents...the button on the right of the windows should be the start button...not feeling those two generic bars at all...however cant believe the over all quality of this work...you truly push the envelope and i love u

I dont see anything wrong with start button either,but it's whatever skinhit wants.
No, it's whatever I want. ;)   But I do respect Skinhits opinion very much. Actually, I will listen to anyones advise on a skin ... I may not follow it, but I will listen and take it into consideration. It's always good to have others looking over your shoulder and pointing out something that could improve. :grin:

Whatever you say...but I for one will not buy anything that has skinhit on it.
WTF is your problem?? I am making this skin. If you don't want to buy it then don't. Don't mess up my thread by being an ass.
