6502 : Work in Progress.

from WinCustomize Forums

An homage to the MOS 6502 and 8-bit computing.

I've created 2 true type fonts and a full set of icons so far for this one. I may need a third font before the end is reached.  All images are done using the Commodore 64 16 color palette. Lots of hand drawn pixel art in this one. The wallpaper was assembled and raytraced in POVRay and then 16 colored in Corel. Fonts created in Corel / Hi-Logic Font Creator. Cursors in Corel / RealWorld Cursor Editor.

Will make available once complete. ;)

I hand drew some icons. 32x32 for now. I will need to do the 16's and 48's as well. They look better on the blue desktop wallpaper. ;)  Only having 16 colors to use, luckily the Commodore palette has black, white, and 3 grays. So I'm sticking with grayscale as much as possible.

Update. After much testing and tweeking, I think I have it to a place I really like. I have yet the Start Menu to do and have some ideas on that.

Everything is drawn with a Commodore 64 16 color palette (except the CPU on the desktop wallpaper, I decided to leave that 32bit).

I have a full set of cursors, icons, and 3 custom made Open Type fonts to accompany the skin as well.
