I need some opinions on what I have so far.  Here's a screenshot.



Here's the download for anybody who is willing to give her a spin.

On vista it already looks superb, the roll-ups meet perfectly, animations on start panel are great as is start button and the all programs scrolls are cool too, overall it is outstanding already. Scrollbar just tad hard to see is only slight problem. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

You caught me...I was going to be lazy; animation is a real challenge for me, and that group of gears was particularly difficult so I was going to keep them static, but that wouldn't be true to the skin, now would it?  So...I fixed it.  They are now spinning.

You didn't have to go that far, but I'm glad you did. I didn't know what was supposed to be animated or not; I just reported what I saw.

Thanks for fixing the scroll bar.

I'm using it right now, and I absolutely love the way that it's going! Works beautifully so far under Windows 7 RTM, I might add... Here's a screenshot...

Current Desktop

The wallpaper is actually Deskscapes... It's Dream Machine by Master Baron with the textured effect. The ObjectDock skin was designed by DragonXP on DeviantArt, and the icons were applied with IconPackager, and are from a set again, available on DeviantArt, from Samantha-Wright.

Karen, if you're pretty sure you're done with the start panel, shoot me whatever graphics ya got, PSD and PNG preferred, and I can start the DX.  Looking good!!

I have a few adjustment to make to the Vista substyle, and I'm almost done with the grunge substyle for XP.  I bought a laptop yesterday because I have ill family members up north and I can't afford to not be working if I have to attend a funeral or spend some time up there helping out with the recovery of those battling cancer.  The laptop has Vista on it so now I know where to make those corrections, plus because it's new, it's elligible for the Windows 7 upgrade when it comes out.  I'm going to miss XP, but it's time to embrace the new.

I think it may be 2 to 2-1/2 more weeks until she's ready for upload.

Lookin great Karen, really a step up in ur skinning so far, only thing I'll gripe about is getting the cogs to rotate on a smoother axis, unless thats intentional,

 

Keep up the fast learning curve ! \o/

Same here. When my new PC is fully functional XP will be gone for good. I shall miss it, but will be upgrading to W7, so working with Vista for a while won't seem so bad.

I already fixed that.  I decided to give every gear it's own layer of animation and that made for truer rotation.

OK, I've come up with a problem -- not all that noticeable at first, but it's bugging me.  The top of the window frame won't go all the way up to the top of the monitor.  How do I fix that?

Personally, I wouldn't want it to. But I'm not making it...lol. I wish I could help you, Karen, but I'm a noob at blinds.

Thanks, Seth.  I'm shooting for "outstanding" -- with a little luck I'll achieve that.

Wow, what a great additon this will be to the Theme Manager Suite Library. :thumbsup:

I like this WB a lot!!  The animation is great, but the design and the warm colors are what I like best.  It is interesting without being overly ornate.  Great job!
