Harmon VS

This is a mockup of a possible visual style I have been mucking around with for about a week now. Some things are not complete (toolbar widgets) but the basic layout is there. Inspiration comes from Rimshot's entry into the Menuet skin contest. Not sure whether I'm treading on 'ripping' or whatnot though all images have been created originally by myself.

I'm posting this to get a feel for what people think and suggestions you might have to improve the look. Top suggestions I am looking for are ideas about the toolbar widgets.

Also, if there is anyone who would like to undertake the actual creation of the vs please get in touch with me. I have little to no experience working with Stylebuilder or SkinStudio so...let me know what you think.

Thankyou.

I like it, and if it's possible to do I say do it

Looking very sophisticated...I like the toolbar as you've got it. Good luck with this one.

but the toolbar is awesome IMHO

keep going on..

looks promising

i like it as it is

the sides seem a tad large for me, mabe a slimmer version too, but by not too much.

I think it's look very stylish! Good work men!

very stylish, though if possible a metallic version would be appreciated (instead of wood ^^) very good work

#373047

That's sexy. Possibly a WB version?

Thanks to all the warm comments. I guess I have some learning to do.

@Paralex: I would love to make this as a WB for the alpha-blended corners, left-sided glyphs and the assigning of different styles (the one shown would be a finder substyle where as the normal substyle would have a thinner border)

If you'd like to buy me a copy of WB 5.0 then maybe... until then somebody else would have to port it once it's done.

I really dig the concept! Would also suggest shrinking the wood on the sides. Kudos to you. Hammering out all the details in a VS is a pain isn't it? So many little details you never thought existed. How do the regular buttons and tabs look? This is the theme I always thought shoulda been made. There's great potential for something special here IMHO.

Sure I'll "buy" you a copy, just IM on MSN Mess man.

Also, you'll need SkinStudio.
