[WIP] Sith Lord VS/WB

[Arcanthur 0]

Been working on this style for about a week, I'm almost done getting the general look and feel, but no skinning has actually been done thusfar, this is a mockup ONLY. The real skin will come later. For now here's a sneak...

Thoughts/Suggestions?

btw kinda looks like kamino, but different, i like the black

Although not a hardcore StarWars fan, but this is looking really good..

I love how the red matches the black, beautiful! :cool:

I'll be following your progress, can't wait for the release.

Keep up the good work

Thanks, I'm also trying to not alienate non star wars fans with more a universal design; there will be windows flag, and apple logo start menus as well. The wallpaper will also come with and sans the Darth Vader shadow.

Just thinking, maybe you could integrate more red into it, as it is a "sith" VS.

Just a thought.

Mockup looks great, can't wait.

i personally think it's shaping up to be real sexy.

The Sith have killed millions of people, including the jedis, and turned anakin to the dark side, AFTER he killed his belovid wife, and you make a theme based on them?

Don't you have feelings man? Don't you? Huh?

Looks great! And a redish glow for the glyphs (in mouse-over state) would spice the whole thing up, I believe:).

Big question: Will you allow an OSX port?

Looks nice by the way.

defently more red, like the scroll bar should be black and red. looks good though.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm refining and cleaning up somethings, and as far as integrating red into the design...

From my experience, when red is introduced into a windows theme, it takes precedence over everything on screen, SOMETIMES making a theme look tacky or amatuerish...I don't want any skinners getting angry

With that said I still feel that I can add hints of red in very small doses; I may create a substyle, where there is more red.

no mac ports, jk ;P ellada you can have one just cause your gangster ;P

Of course I'll allow an OSX port, I encourage it even.

Looks good so far ! Just wondering ... will the active tabs and pressed buttons be a different colour ?

[sei-aidyn 0]

Looks great man... would rock this on my screen for a long time...

oh man, it looks sweet! i do agree with the others in that there should me more red, like the active/pressed tabs, and maybe a glow on the close/min/max buttons. but thats just my opinion

can't wait to use it, i love it

[nomis_nehc 0]

i tend to agree with the minal usage of red idea. most themes i have seen with red in it just look like crap. plus it's just not really usable for everyday.

I like the glossy black finish... perhaps look into some TIE fighter/interceptor images/glyphs (would be different than the same circular Imperial insignia).

Hope you do a left side glyph version to stay true to OS X.
