Ss Powermetal Object Bar Theme

well this skin is Xero's 10.3 Panther skin with changed graphics from Danimators Powermetal windowblinds skin :) i made this as i really like his skin but there wasnt an OB skin so i decided to make one, this si my first skin so its bound to be buggy

this is only a preview as i need to ask persmission from Xero and Danimator

No offense but it's sort of ugly. Maybe the preview didn't do the justice.

And you should be asking permission from Swizcore before you ask permission from Xero or Danimator.

#77716

I agree the bar looks mech better with the fonts change but the Apple looks too opaque. Try the Apple that is in your avatar, I think that would look nice.

The top of it looks more recessed than the bottom is, makes it look like it was set in crooked, in my opinion.

#77905

well Zoot, urs looks alot better than mine does, i think i will just wait until u release yours, good work :)

#78006

well i have made a few changes, fixed up the apple added faint scan lines in the background and changed the font

the apple needs a bit more work i think and theres a few other changes i think will make, any other criticisms/comments? thinks i should add/change?

thanks for ur input

#78052

Hey Zoot, that looks awesome! why do you keep hiding such great modded themes?!?!!?

Sharing is caring!!! :lol:

#78056

heres the image from above for those too lazy to go open it but the quality isnt so good, like i said i need to do a bit more work on the apple as it still looks a bit blurred and rough round the edges and such.

any comments/criticisms so far? i would appreciate the input as this is my first skin and would like to know how to do it fairly well :)

Thanks

Looking better, although it looks like the entire taskbar does not have the same texture, the section next to the system tray looks flat and grey.

#78133

slight update, systry background fixed to match the rest of the skin and apple fixed!

#78299

Good news for Zoot.

#78300

The problem is bandwidth... if everyone and their mom downloads this, bandwidth goes ^ faster then a rocket.. And then it may be disabled... Got one suggestion for you zoot... DeviantArt. Its free, and it works :) If you cant do that then, I can possibly help you out.

Josh

#78301

cool, thts good news zoot :)

and like pixelmatrix said, deviantart is probably ur best bet

#78405

DeviantArt is great, kind of slow on the response time, but more than adequate to host some themes.

#78457

Zoot, i can host the files for you. I offered hosting in your savanna skin thread but you didn't response. If you still need a host, chat with me in msn or icq or just send the files to dropper at mbnet dot fi.

LoofyGun I just tried to email you the mods, but it seem my cable providers email server has tanked, so in lieu I'm going to need an ftp server or something to upload to, or I suppose I couls try and send it via IM.

Thanks anyway LoofyGun much apreciated
