Hello WC and thanks for stopping by my page. Look forward to more submissions in the near future.
XP, Vista and Win 7
Published on March 22, 2010 By vStyler In WinCustomize Talk

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 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 would approve 

 

will post updates as they are formulated.

Please wait animation... unfortunately PC's are getting so fast animations on please wait are becoming useless on anything but a 1-2 second cycle.

btw, the frames are smoother in actual animation.

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

LightStar
Put some light text (not too light) on the flat black one Harley, would look great I think! 

I have to agree. Red text just is too blurry. MS has to fix that. The clocks look great Harley!

Hey John, on the Logoff screen by the Cancel button, the tiling of the diagonal pinstripe is off by a pixel.........I guess after a week of having My face 3 inches from the monitor staring at it......  .....I've become super-sensitive to that pattern...

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 ?

Thanks everyone and Tom I tried few light shades here is what I ended up with.

.....LOL, I know You've got it burned into Your corneas by now..........vStyler walks into a suit store and says to the salesman do any of these come in solid colors!

 

Looking really cool Harley!

that hasn't been merged

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.
