[Preview] (still unnamed skin) Coming Soon! by Nagamasa on 02-17-2009 at 01:34 AM

Now that I do have an inspiration idea based on green, blue, and white waves, I started skinning WLM 2009.

I'm not in any hurry with this and you shouldnt be expecting this any time soon (I mean, I'm not doing anything tonight cause I have a math contest tomorrow.).

It's not quite done, there probably more to change at the bottom of the page :)

Feedback welcome.



Solved Problem:

I started with the toasts...but the only problem I have is that I can't get it to NOT pixelate. I'm making with Illustrator and it looks fine there.

I'm wondering as to how I can solve this problem, or what dimensions are the new toasts!

I am using 500x500 pngs and having no problems! =)
Just have to guess the correct spacing.

Yeah I took a look at My Live Messenger :P

I tried stuff at around 500px, but now I'm at 4000+ and it still looks the same :S What do you mean by spacing?

Here's the file.

Well I´ve used a 214x130 px pic and it works fine, a resized version with your pic in a new layer of my own psd looks like this:

not bad, I guess you are using a real big pic and that is generating the pixelate problem, here is the one I resized in photoshop (see Attachment)

hope that helps or something :P

Yup, the image that you gave me works! Thanks :P

Good to see your back in skinning. Looking forward to it. :P :D

RE: Coming Soon! (and help!) by blessedguy on 02-17-2009 at 04:40 PM

nagamasa, the spacing I told you is meant to have the "Close" button nearer to the border... Like in the original one =)
Just leave some transparent space between top and bottom.

It looks rly nice so far! =D
But do the waves get pixelated when stretched?

The header image looks pretty okay when I maximize :).

Thanks.

I'm kinda out of time to actually work on the skin for the next 2 weeks, and it looks very simple :). I just need to add an option or two, and it should be "done" for now.

New screenshot added, feedback (good or bad) is encouraged.
