I like this very much, Rolo... for several reasons: inventive, original, good colors (I'd mute the blue a bit) and maybe lose the 'branding'. I do like this a good deal.

Of course the branding will be dropped my bad i left it there I was just playing around and took it like it was ^^ would be blocking the search a liitle ^^ I wish i could use glow on the skin based text aswell so i could use the branding on the places list hehe
I also thought that i may put the saturation for the blue a bit lower but on one of my monitors its looking good and on the other its a hint to bright.. I realy need a new card.
Save the card... add some gray... ![]()
the suckers are a clever idea ![]()
It sucks! ...so, i mean the suckers
- the suckers suck, well you know what i mean!
Well done Rolo!
Glad you like the prototype
Just got an idea-maybee i try and add sounds so if you close a window you hear a "blob"
and a "quiiiieeeeck" for minimize
annoying but fun
great idea
Rolocolor, I have a blind here named Larimar. It would probably be a good idea to change the name of your blind, so our blinds don't get mixed up, or worse. Your blind is interesting, but I agree about losing the branding. Looking forward to seeing the finished blind.
i love those suckers too!! very ingenious rolo!!!
This is very creative, rolo! I'm keeping my eye on you! ![]()
thanks but its not that genius just a lucky thought
Im currently facing some real trouble:
I wanted to replace the back text color for places list - so i went to places list/text and changed it to white saved and applied.
But it just wont change. I tried doing the same with an earlier version and it works. But i cant get it to work on the current version.
Any idea ?
PS: Jazzymjr dont worrie i will try to find a different title or i will drop the name and just hang to window-suckers.I had choosen Larmiar for the blue proglist since its close to the gem stones. By the way is window-suckers the common word for these things in english ?

Yes but without the - so window suckers or suction cups are the correct term. Nice blind idea too. I think you got a winner there.
I believe the text for that is controlled by the item mouseover. You might have to make one for the programs side and one for the places side if you want them to be different.
i love you ^^ now everything is fine Ps check your mailbox
Edit: Just wanted to throw another idea in... as you may noticed the suckers are pointed away from the screen and i like it that way BUT i will do a substyle with the Suckers pointing at you so it looks more like the user is sitting behind the window.
Back to work...
I just hope i can enhance my skills a bit with this one, thanks JuniorCrooks but its far from beeing done and miles away from start line.
Had some time to finaly insert the startmenu and the taskbar including some buttons.It will have different mouseover preview on each side and diffrent font color and mouseover color on each side ---- + different for expanded startmenu what is quite new for me.
it can be recolored quite nicely also( so far ).
I added some Startmenu animation but removed it again to keep simple.
long talking gotta get back to work here is the pic including a sneak at the upcomming wallpaper pack order and chaos 

Sieht sehr geil aus, Rolo! Die Grafik unten rechts erinnert mich an das Steam Symbol von Valve
Kann's kaum erwarten die Finale Version zu sehen...
Hey son ![]()
Did not know your skinning these things.
Also you changed your name here
You know im extra picky but i do like what i see here so
I want my own startbutton + change the searchfield into a fitting color
hey how are you ?
Damn it ´s been a while...
Yes i started making these digital things it´s quite fun
To your request..sure can do- just give me a email with what you would like and i will integrate it in the startbutton ![]()
Say hi from me to nagymama.
I did it from the reverse angle on a DXObject a while ago

it will include a reverse version of the suckers as substyle.
