Blue Wing WIP

Time for a bit of color

from WinCustomize Forums

As some of you may know, I work on a passenger ferry and am out at sea for 2 weeks at a time. This relative isolation give me plenty of time to sit in my cabin and doodle.

Sometimes inspiration comes to me in funny ways. Take for instance my razor. I was shaving before work and I started to admire the colors of my Gillette Fusion

I thought, "those colors would make a nice blind"

This is what came out of that thought

I don't know why I called it Blue Wing......it's just the name that popped into my head

It's looking good Tim. I have a personal prefernce for NOT having white backgrounds......but that's just me. I will likely change it to light gray or very light blue.

I'm there with you on that, Mike. But Stardock made me change the background to white in order to get protector through moderation. Funny really.....I can't imagine I'm the only one who's done anything else than white (think VOX and Krome as examples, but I guess john offered a light substyle in those cases)

I'm curious about the taskbar mouse overs........orange highlight maybe?

Light gray, actually......orange flashing button

Liked the first 'version' better though, but hey.... I'm just a 12th year skinning veteran

I hear you, but ultimatly John may be right.....not everyone likes branding on a skin.

I have decided to put the brand back into the blind. What I'll do, is offer a substyle without it as well.....that way, everybody wins :sun:

It just looked so bare without it. I mean, what's the point of the blue bar without anything on it?

I'm going to rotate the all prog arrow of course. Skinning for xp takes me a while because I don't have photoshop on the old xp lappy. I have to draw the images and transfer them by dropbox and then import them.

This skin is very smooth and comfortable, Tim!  A very nice fusion of blue and orange!   :|
