Stratos WIP

May 6, 2010 5:20:17 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

This time, I'm going for a more minimalistic look. I wanted a blind that felt less "heavy" with crisp clean lines.

 

Some screenys

 

Original Startpanel idea

Tabs buttons and checkboxes

(read only combobox is not skinned yet so that will look different)

 

 

Explorer windows

 

Startpanel with rainy and docks

 

Anyway, I hope you like what I've done so far and I'll keep you posted on my progress as I go.

Really easy on the eyes, Tim. I love the layout of this skin, along with the colors and minimalistic style. Nice work

Same here. That's a great shade of blue. The start panel is especially attractive.

Looking Great Tim.

Poor Doc. How does it feel to be forgotten? No one will ever forget you because you won't let us.

2of3 . . it makes me happy how far you have come.  

I'm glad I was able to work with you on the Zubaz skin when you weren't as good.  Other wise you'd have not put up with my meddling.

The Start Button needs a bit of work... It looks too much like the rest of the Superbar icons.

Nope. The start button is exactly like I designed it.

Tim, when you're fairly sure you're not changing things (probably 2 weeks after release...lol), let me know, I'll do the DX.
