Just found myself messing in photoshop and thought maybe I would get a second opinion before I messed with or considered buying stylebuilder. Let me know what you think, and what maybe I can do to improve.

looking promising...

Looks nice. Will wait for more progress

as for now, it looks pretty good
let's see how it goes

Looks good

Looks good so far.

looks good for a grey/dark theme. i'd be interested to see where it goes.

Looks cool so far, but still needs a lot of work. But seeing this is a WIP, I'll bookmark this topic

very nice for a starter, more than the average..

looks GREAT!

looks sweet. id use it when im on windows.

Looks very nice! I hope this goes somewhere, I'd def use it!

Do it, but dnt bother buying stylebuilder, download the trial and pm me afterwards and ill send you a special file that lets you do stuff.

Well I've begun the project, and all I can say is "WOW". I have gained a whole new respect for themers, this is a pain in the arse.

Made this late last night after that mockup, didn't know what to think of it then. Let me know what you think.

I prefer the black/slate colored one. Perhaps you could mix in some red elements to that skin for the theme?

the black/slate one is priority, it will come first. But probably will be a while considering this is my first theme, and trying to get everything the way i want it is being a pain in the ass so far.

The red one I had made after and just wanted some feedback.

I agree with the others so far, black\slate should come first, BUT i think a mixed red\black one would also be pretty cool.. like use red for the active task and caption buttons, etc..

i think the red one rocks... black is great as well

Alot of promise and i think it looks cool

very cool, keep the black start panel, it looks better.

keep goin' man, it looks promising!

looks good so far.

ohh a lite blue one would be sexy
very nice so far

ya colors will rule, blue/red/black maybe orange too

Looks very nice!

well it was coming along. But afraid to inform you guys its going to be postponed for an undetermined amount of time due to personal reasons. Sorry, will get it done as soon as I get the time.

I'm going to recreate the red one for personal use. I won't share it with people, but I just really want the theme, and since you can't make it I have to do it myself.

I don't believe I need permission for personal use, do I?

Nope you dont , btw this theme going nice , i want this!

Too bad he stopped

I'm done remaking everything so far, minus the font (Can't find what it is, if anyone knows it would help).

Going to start on making a window now.

/edit Almost done with the window. Still need the font.

I believe I used tahoma, give me some time to dig the red one up and I can tell you. If you show me the final product of the red one I'll probably let you release it.

Also I never said I'll never release it, I just didn't know when I would have the time to start on it again, but in probably a week or so I'll have some time again to start on the slate,grey one again.

That seems to be it

I'm actually fairly close to being finished. I just need stylebuilder in order to do anything now (My trial expired, and no credit card... grr).

If you want to see what I have so far add me to MSN or AIM or just email me. All my info is below.

looks great!!

can u save it as a ms visual style and then have different colour schemes such as black/grey, red, blue, maybe green

i wouls definately use it

Can't you just download the trial again??

Nah, it records something on your computer that you cant change. Maybe if I set my computers date back though... hmmm.

/edit That doesn't work either... *sigh

Update on my remake of the red version. Slacker said I may get permission to release it, so thought I would show it.

Is there anyone that can help me with a few problems I'm currently having with stylebuilder?

Please? I've gone through like 50 forums and chatrooms looking for help.

Come on, somebody must be able to help!

Well what do you know, i have some time again. I'm hoping to finish up the slate version this weekend, but me being a perfectionist I don't know. Just wanted to let everyone know I haven't given up.

good luck, this will be a great platform for your first theme
