Winswy
kinda tired of folks whining about too much bevel.. too 'in yer face".. etc.. so im going to try to something more minmal but still with a bit of glassing , a bit of depth yet useable and along the lines of Luna. My first effort using the Luna .msstyle as a base working entirely from scratch.

More to come soon...

..Vector..
Not bad yes.gif

Nice variation. Like the colors and how they go together, looking forward to the release. But three words....FULL START MENU.
Mx²
Very nice Winswy!
Winswy
will have both slim and full size menus, taskbar , scrolls etc... also a couple of font variations and walls.

also nothing in screeny is final, i may go with round logoff buttons.

Does "Repetoire" is supposed to have any link with the (french) word "répertoire" (directory in english)?

Your style is, ok... I will just say that I'm a fan of HmmXP. wink.gif I don't really like glossy themes.
psychoticDEMENTO
still too much bevel for my liking
cmove
Keep it up

It looks nice, I like it better than your other works.

...but it reminds me a lot of Sustenance.
Winswy
yes id definately say i was inspired by Kols recent work, but every image her is created from scratch and the entire theme will be completely different.

I was not implying that you stole anything. It is clear that the graphics are original. Keep up the good work.

Looks nice so far, but I believe you meant "Repertoire "


Anyway don't listen to the flat theme whiners, man. If you wanna freakin' bevel, make a bevel. Make a big snowy mountain we can all ski down for god's sake.
If that's what you want.
Winswy
haha.. well sometimes u gotta take the good with the bad..and frankly my own style is becoming a little more refined which is a good thing, im quite enjoying using this soo far.. as far as the name.. yes it was derived from RepERtoire, changed for originality.
Ji@nBing
Looks nice. Keep it up smile.gif

Pretty nice thumbs_up.gif
Winswy
k, worked all evening "compacting" the compact menu, reworking buttons and taking out a bit of beveling

I think im happy with this.. also shows "hot" Start button state. Opposite to default in first screenshot.

you will notice menu arrows clearly visible unlike a lot of compact schemes released.

M. Seth
Nice to hear you'll have a full size start menu. Can't wait to see a release on this.
fukachu
looking nice indeed, defintely a nice change from your other works. keep it up smile.gif colours go well together
SeMz...
nice work thumbs_up.gif but not my style
insanekiwi
looks nice.
but the startpanel and taskbar looks sooo much like the ones from kol.
make it unicolored and remove those borders around the taskbar entries.
dmb219

i Wont be changing either of those items.. other than the rounded buttons which i think are fair game to use this VS is 100 original and different from Kol's. Built from Luna using no one elses images.
AXiao
winswy, i have to admit you are my hero, you put in a lot of effort in your work and im seeing gradual improvements, way to go dude!
Winswy
i appreciate that, u would not believe the amount of time i spend working on this stuff trying to continually improve.

all day every day just about.
Chickie
I love it. Can't wait to get Repetoire. happy.gif
KoL
looks really nice Winswy smile.gif punk.gif
Winswy
Thx Kol , that means a lot to me... your new VS really motivated me to make this, yes the start button is similar and the red buttons but as i stated before this is built ground up from Luna. there will be some similarities, but being the great artist you are i feel flattered more than anything with any comparisons to UR work.


............

Update: Started on a Toolbar Iconset also started on a shell..
xVISHUx
Amazing work! This looks great, a vast improvement on your prior Visual Styles. I hope this one will be free, really looking forward to tis. Keep up the great work.
Winswy
Free indeed.

biggrin.gif
Winswy
k, worked on shell and toolbar buttons some more...

ill probably release a glassed and non-glassed toolbar set, i think both look good tho.

Also, if anyone is interested in skinning any other apps, particularly Winamp and Trillian please contact me.
Iguanadon
I really like this one a lot. not sure i'm really fond of the combo button, maybe it could grow on me. just looks a little out of place. blink.gif

keep up the good work.
matt0
why wouldnt it be free?
daydream nation
I believe he charges for some of his work...nothing wrong with that of course, just a matter of choice.

BTW Winswy: I didn't really like much of your previous themes, for the same reasons as many others, you know "not minimalistic enough" "looks like a WB theme" etc., I have to say it's really improving... Still too much candy for me but you're getting there.
Winswy
combo button will be changed.

Dont mean to be an ass but maybe try listening to what folk are saying to you / at least consider it, as its not whining its suggestions / constructive criticism.

Have to say tho out of your styles so far this is the best, but watch as its resembling, is it "Sustenance" ? Cant remember soz tongue.gif
Meshuggah
love it....cant wait for final, i LOVE all of you work Winswy....

if anything i would ask is a dark version of this theme....if its possible of course, but i think some dark colors would work perfectly with this theme

keep up the good work
Raum
Nice color choice.
red.
looks good but i don't really like the caption bar.
lightstar
I like this a lot vStyler, great used of bevel and shading! smile.gif
BMac
This is by far your best VS yet. The overall style is very different from your other works. I usually commend you on originality and here I must say your versatility shines through. Excellent job buddy. biggrin.gif thumbs_up.gif
Winswy
Thx Bob.. and thx for ur help testing so far.. a lotta times u see things i pass over.

Good eye wink.gif

Calling Trillian and Winamp Skinners !
Darkscreenz
Looking very impressive m8! Your shellstyles are quite nice man, and I have to say that my only regret after having looked at the screen shots of this are that I have no PC at home to try it out on. Keep up the good work bro...progressing quite nicely as usual!
