CTU 2010

Rebuilding my first blind

August 2, 2009 8:46:01 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

When I first started skinning, I had a lot of ambition and little skill. My first WB was a theme designed to look like the desktop of a CTU agent. It was actually pretty popular despite it's poor construction and lack of esthetique.

CTU got pulled from my gallery (by me) early last year.

I have unfortunatly been getting more and more requests for the blind which I have sent to people.

 

I am now working on a total rebuild of this theme and I hope to share it with you in a short time.

 

I'm going for a very specific look hereand trying to make it as authentic as possible. If you say it looks like windows '98 with chopped off corners, then I just might have nailed it

 You nailed it! The new CTU in sesason 8 looks like it's gotten a serious upgrade, too.

 

Seriously, Tim, it's looking awesome.

Hi 2of3, I was since a long time ago looking for your CTU wb because I was made that time a rëinstall of my system and at the time that i wanted to replace the CTU wb it was not there anymore so you can imaging that I was pleased to read that you are working on a new CTU wb and i can't wait to see the finished version of it, the shots I have seen here are very i mpressing so when it is there I will install it directly and so as the rest of the members I hope it will not take very long to see the CTU wb see the light.

Browny

Hi 2of3, it's looking pretty good, you make some amazing skins. Could you please email me at jjych_218@hotmail.com when you've finished it, Thanks.

Looks a bit old, if you know what I mean, but I think that's what you're looking for. It's great.

When finished it wil be made available for everyone.

How true. It's a very specific look. No one thinks the CTU GUI is very modern looking and I want to keep it as authentic as possible while still supporting the lastest WB features.

 

 

I'm working on the Win7 substyle now.
