Will pay to have this theme created!!!

I am looking for anyone who can put together a visual style (msstyle) windows theme. I have designed the mock up, and am looking to hire someone to make it functional. This is the preview:

If you are interested post here and we will then discuss a price.

I'm not a skinner but I have always wanted to have a go. I'll see what I can do but dont worry about any payment as my attempt at it will probably suck :P

I'll give it a go anyway. Can I have the images to use/psd's ?

PS: Mods aren't gonna be happy that you made TWO threads.

#401989

Do you have an email so I can send it to you?

And any other takers? I appreciate Wuzzie in trying but I would like as many people to try as possible.

LL_Powder, look what i found, I think it is similar to yours.

here you can see my desktop: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/35861028/

and to download it from here: http://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/en.id.557.htm

I think that*s what u r looking 4 ;)

#401998

very much like it, thank you, and i'll probably download that, but the point of this one, is its a present for my graphic website to the members, so thats why i'm willing to pay for it to be done.

I have started making this visual style and I've found that in the border of a tabbed window (ie. the background tab of the properties window) the border cannot be rounded. This is because Windows just resizes the image and it looks dodgy unless it has sharp edges. I'm going to make them sharp unless somebody can tell me how to let windows resize it differently or something.

EDIT: i just realized you can have rounded edges. I just needed to change where is stretches the image

Ok, I'm making progress. The theme now has the title bar and close, max and min buttons. and the border for tabbed windows.

I'll upload a screenshot.

Why did you make another thread? You're asking for it.

#402038

Sorry once again, I just realized I had posted in the wrong section and made a new thread knowing the other one would be closed. Wuzzie is working on this for me, which is very kind of him, and if anyone else too would like to work on it, please notify me.

@Wuzzie

Why not using my InversoRB as a base, like LL_Powder did in his mockup ?

#402080

Yes I used part of it as a base, and then created the rest from scratch based around some other themes I liked.

www.l-lounge.com is my website, this is a gift to them. You'll notice it matches parts of both the "light" and "dark" template, but also matches this skin that I created: http://click2host.us/002/explodeblackpreview.jpg

@LL-Powder

You're talking about an vs, i suppose - or is it a template for websites only? Where could I download your skin?

#402082

No, I want a visual style created, windows theme. I was just referencing how it matches my other stuff, which i guess wasn't really relevant. If you want to give this a go, I will pm you the psd file of the design.

PM underway :)

It looks good, the curved edges are turning out well, the middle highlighted block looks nice how its rounded, please keep me updated.

#402092

Ok, sorry last night the screenie wouldn't upload. Anyway, now the titlebar is finished (a few problems that I could probably fix easily) and there are buttons. For some reason there are white lines on either side which i am trying to get rid of... :S

I'll keep you informed.

Your mockup was based on other skins?

If that's the case it will make the job a lot easier. You'll probably need permission from the author though.

Hey, what other themes did you get stuff from?

Can you PM me with what parts (ie. scrollbars) from what theme, and what stuff is new.

#402230

The only things I didn't make are things taht you can notice from the iversonRB theme, so you can look and work off that if you'd like. The other stuff I took from designs I liked, but made them from scratch.

#402249

ok... the inversonrb theme is a little darker than your mockup... is this ok or do you want me to change it?

#402302

I definately prefer it match my mock up as closely as possible in all aspects, especially color though.
