Sakura WB - Work in progress

August 15, 2011 2:18:10 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Time for a new un'  !

I wanted to use a less conventional color on this one, lord knows we have enough blue, green and red themes!

Also wanted to get back to using some translucency, Ive missed it  Also something a little more conventional, style-wise.

So here are the humble beginnings of Sakura WB for Win 7

 

Will post more as it progresses... as usual.   Thanks to everyone who continues to support me and my work.

 

If it wasn't for you guys, I really don't know where I would be.

Ditto... so damn good to have you back at it, John.

The name?  Sounds... grape to me.

Yeah, I knew Snowy but I really don't see any reason to rename it based on an obscure, almost 10 year old blind unless the owner, who I'm assuming isn't even in the community anymore..objects.

 

Thanks guys

Are you serious? Unless the original one is YOUR work it would be in extremely poor taste if nothing else if you use that name.

How would you feel if someone created a bunch of blinds ( good quality or not ) and used the same name as your work?

I haven't created a 'bunch of blinds and used other peoples names"... So, please, if you don't mind, lets not make it more than it is...

Anyway , they not only have used my names, but my graphics as well, and design ideas, in fact , happens all the time. Probably more to me than most.

How do I feel? Doesn't really matter... it will continue to happen.

Serenity.

 

If this had been a recent blind, by a current author, I would have used a diff. name and frankly, there are few words that are patented by anyone... for anything.

Buuuuut... seeing some folks want to make an issue out of nothing.. and turn my thread into crap... again.. imo..

 

...I can change it, that way, everyone can just shut up about that .

*sigh. Tried to head that one off with delightful wit... well, half way succeeded. Requi-yum is a delish name....

John, I love it and don't give a damn what you name it. I think I'll get it just to customize it... "V-in" (as in Vin)
