Newgrounds WB skin.

[FeindishDemon]

I recently saw iLott's Newgrounds WindowsBlinds Skin, and I thought it looked pretty neat.

I'm not trying to compete, but I thought I'd take a shot at making a Newgrounds-Related skin with WindowsBlinds. Unfortunately for me, I only have the free version (cause I'm too poor to afford the full version), and everything is much more complicated than I thought it would be. It doesn't have the same display as the full version, and instead of showing everything neatly in it's own windows, you get this retarded version where many things are stripped down. (like buttons and radios and check boxes) All it really displays is tabs, buttons, progress bars, a basic window layout without anything in it, etc.

Now I haven't gotten very far. I've only done everything that will show up on the very useless preview. I haven't even started the start menu (yet), but I'm pretty sure It will end up looking quite nice. I also realized that there are an endless amount of assets involved in the making of a skin, ranging from tiny little 1x1 targa files to the start menu bitmap, so it might be a while before I finish.

As far as I've gotten, is this good?

It looks pretty awesome at the moment , just fix up the minimize, max, exit buttons

(you already are?)

[JNeuray]

Wait... It's not for Vista, is it? :(

[Senri]

Also as amazing as it is I have one issue.
The minimize, close, maximize buttons. They look pretty ...gross... with the rectangles almost sticking off and the things inside them being so small.

just sayin...

awww man...

i was working on one.... :(

Watching the Vista background is a huge letdown. Seriously, this should get on XP versions too. And one for Mac and Linux for being luv buds too.

I hate illiterate fucks like you. He said that what you see in the picture is only what some of the main things would look like, had he been finished already. Almost nothing will look like it does now, once it's finished.

Goddamnit, Newgrounds.

Wow! I want one!

[DemonsRemorse]

Hmm, not bad.

Personally, fix the button. Try making a ViOrb effect. Something like Vistas "Start button" letting the Face have a rest hole in the Start Bar.

Congratulations, it looks great.

Nice job

Finish it and give me it

That's awesome, I've got (the paid version of) Windowblinds, and I'd certainly use that.

[ngmastah]

That looks amazing, I hope you finish ;)

Who the hell pays for it, when you can get it for free?

Damn hippies.

I like the angry face at the bottom, but that's about where the visual appeals to my sanity end. You need to get those buttons inside of boxes or something. It breaks visual organiziation when they overlay on the lines. The window close buttons for instance.

I'd keep working if I were you. :/
