Comments and suggestions are welcome. It's not finished, and as you can see, there's still leftover code from Qwertaurian Green.

To be honest theres to much vista skins its getting old. I think the design is good but its lacking something different. :P i also like the green.

Yeah there a lot, but I want to update this skin for WLM 2009, and plus, it's at the top of the most downloaded list.

You need to do something about the scroll bar :P

Other than that it looks pretty solid, I agree the green is a nice touch, but don't go overboard with it now you know people like it.

I am sorry, but it's ugly.

and should someone make a win7 skin, can they actually make it look like a win7 app, and not just set the window background to the built in wallpapers :(

I have a quite few ideas in mind for that sort of thing. The hardest thing is to fake the glass effect without actually using transparency. Course I have something new in mind for that but yeah :P,

Course I'm not entirely sure when I will start with me being on a break and all. But yeah a proper win 7 skin is something I would like to do.

Anyway, come on Naga I'm sure you should be able to innovate a bit more with your vista skins now. Its at v3 and I'm still seeing the vista wallpaper being thrown in to make that the connection to vista. I would have thought life of vista would have been something more like going through all the UI concepts they had or something. Not just focusing on the wallpapers they bundled :P

Back then when I was working on v2, I had the taskbar thing started, but then you released VLM and I got lazy to finish it... And then comes the problem that I'm not very good with graphics...

But yeah I'm thinking...

Very cool skin, but could you please get rid of those horrid bacgrounds, they make me wanna vomit, and yes Willz a Quality Windows 7 skin would be very good. New skins people please, The latest skins are crap, e.g Simpson live 2009 etc

that vista wallpaper you're using isn't quite bad, you could use it as an option in your skin. but i wouldn't make it the main "idea"
i also read that you don't know which pictures you could use for the skin instead of that one, so i just googled a little bit and found those:

i don't know if these are just some stanard vista wallpaper, cause i actually use XP, but i do hope they could help you, cause i'm still waiting for that skin! :)

RE: [Preview] Life of Vista 3 by Verloren.Angel on 09-03-2009 at 05:26 PM
