I’m using my spare time, and while my wife is at work ( ;D ), I have plenty of time to do what I really like… hehe… this is just preview, although all graphical parts are ready for compiling… in next few days I’ll compile this skin as well, and we’ll have another one in skins download section (I hope).
This one is kinda different… it’s called simple, Alienator (which was btw my nickname while Amiga scene was still alive), and as you may have already noticed, there is no base panel (backgroud graphic)… buttons are freely “floating” on your desktop… I though, it may look interesting… take a look yourself…
Cheers !
EDIT: Final screenshoots you can see at the bottom of this page…
Also, I just received e-mail from Ondrej (Vlk) and he is looking forward to see my Black Vibe skin… I already sent him that one, so if everything is ok, they will upload it very soon I guess…
Regarding Silhouette_4in1, he said Martin Novak will contact me and we will do some additional work to make it even more avast!-official-web-site-styled if possible. I’m sure, you people will see that one too in download section very soon…
Regarding this latest one… well… let’s finish it first, and then we’ll see… ;D ;D ;D
Yes, I tried to break that compact look we can see in every other skin… they all look like one 2-dimensional plate, so I tried to bring something different this time. I hope people will like it…
MY GOD!!! Incredible… no word can say what I see. I think you’re in a state of grace (in italy we say this when a person is at the top of the skills)… :o ;D
Thanks Kamulko, I’m happy you like it… btw, I changed the name, you gave me idea when you mentioned extraterrestrial tools… skin will be called Alienator (which is btw, my old nickname)
yep I have that one as well. I of course fooled around with mine… added Hopi to it, and then with Paint Shop Pro used a little dandelian tube to add the flowers here and there
Alienator skin is finished and tested… works great, and it’s really very different from any of those skins in downlaod section. If you run Windows 2000 and later, make sure to enable translucent effect, because there is some very nice plasma effect on display area, and all three sliding panels… nice feature is that you can drag this skin by holding any of those 12 blue areas (top title part of each window). There is also nice, very smooth button effect.
I already sent this skin to Ondrej (Vlk) and in the mean time, you can take a look at some screenshoots:
Believe me, it just looks larger than other skins, but it’s not… it’s 406x441 pixels, so even those that are still on 640x480 resolution can see that skin completely on their screen…
I sent new version of this skins to Ondrej (changed few minor cosmetic things at Vlk’s request as well as fixed small glitch when it comes to proper showing of sliding panels).
I’m sure it won’t take long till they re-test everything and upload them to official download section.
