Venom - WIP

XP, Vista and Win 7

http://maxstyles.com/news.php

k, so the concept was to get as far away from the last theme I did as possible and still be able to skin Win 7 completely and correctly.

 

I also wanted to make a red and black theme that took advantage of the dramatic contrasts that this color combo can achieve.

 

Devilish, menacing, provokative, I dunno.. thats what is running through my head as I throw this PS mockup together.

 

I suppose X-( I will be doing a light and dark windows version as I dont see anyway around it...

 

...so this one may take a while to complete but here it is in it early.. fluid stage.

 

Oh and I may just keep the small branding text... cos I know :snowman: would approve  ;)

 

will post updates as they are formulated.

Sexy, might go just a shade brighter on teh red perhaps, hard to tell against a white page.. looks sharp tho

I snagged that red off of the file you put on here.  (The mockup) However, that part was flattened so I couldn't get any layerstyles from it.  Plus, I think you've changed it a bit.  Would you happen to have any updated psd's that have the correct look that we could have?  Obviously I'd like it to be correct to match as best as possible, but I don't want to guess on it.

I don't have anything, that would help, as far as that config goes... that hasn't been merged, I think its just missing the dodge brushes glow that's on most all the red elements, I would suggest just brightening the red area a few points or brushing some highlights on the ends perhaps.

 

Fred, good one, will take a look at that, odd considering its just a rectangle, something funny going on there, there's actually two images, one a bitmap one and it may be interfering... hopefully I can sort it out. Cheers...

 

you think you've been looking at it a lot ?

In the psd I got from that link, all the active red parts with the highlights and gloss shown in the mockup were flatened.  Buttons, Programs list etc.  I'll do what I can from some of the latest screenshots you've put up.  Thanks anyway.  :)

@ theAVMAN

The clocks look great and will go nice with the blinds, but they don't have the sincere identity with respect to the windowblinds true style. Would you be willing to make one rectangular or square clock using the start menu graphic? Then it will be banging lol

 

STILL GREAT :w00t: :thumbsup:

I like that idea, I can even do the gfx if ur up for it AV, would be a nice edition to ur vast array of clocks :cylon:

 

btw, XP done, onto Vista !

 

pity I don't even have it installed :lol:

SCREENSHOTS DO NOT DO IT JUSTICE.

I'm known for speaking my mind and I'll do just that...

That THING is something unlike any other, hard to explain.

What I've seen and experienced; words can barely describe and will miserably come short.

I'd rather use it in its undone stage than using any other finish skins I've ever seen and used. It makes everything else vStyler has done look trashy. I know! They are all masterpieces, but one day you'll all get to experience it. I got a headache.  I did not expect it to be this good, even from a master of that calibra.

I may have said the same thing everytime he came out with a new one, but I guess I'll have to say it again (This time it's final). I don't think he can get any better than this. You know... this skin make me speak from the heart. This is as good skinning will ever get.

Don't let this skin discourage you from skinning guys. Skinning must go on. :pout:
