You have probably guessed what this is already from the thread title, but I am currently in the process of making a Windows Vista Template/Theme/Skin, to be used for blogs. I am initially going to make it for Wordpress, but I will alter the code accordingly for it to work with other blogging systems (suggestions please). I have designed the template so that I can put different backgrounds on it, with it still showing the transparencies (I haven't just sliced the screenshot, as that would mean the user would be stuck with the green grass).

I made the template in photoshop, from this screenshot:



Here are my preview images (different backgrounds):







Upon its final release, it will be 100% free.

Let me know what you think.

NOTE: It IS NOT 100% perfect, or accurate to the appearance in the Vista Beta 1 screenshots, but is designed to be as close a representation as possible.

I rlly like it, nice job !!!

That's quite a nice looking skin, I'm going to make a new skin for my blog sometime soon, they're all going into the SaralBlog database though. Lee Jeffery is making a similar skin! lol.

That skin is looking really nice now, I like the opacity on it, I can't wait until Windows Vista comes out, it looks amazing.

pfft moved to http://www.leejeffery.net (actually on wordpress now ) but only home page is themed atm coz im lazy

and shawnz: external css now, so stfu&gtfo

I have now finished the "VistaBlog" Wordpress Template. I have released it in two different editions; standard edition and limited edition (LE is still free, but there are only 25 LE copies available, and each one is personalised to the person requesting it). You can find more details, final screenshots and the Limited Edition order form at the links below:

Limited Edition: http://www.bluealiendesigns.net/index.php?option=...nt&task=view&id=16

PS: Thanks go to Lee Jeffery for his assistance and advice with the creation of this template.

Looks awesome, and believe me, I have been sitting here for days, watching my brother (yes, fourjays is my brother), working on this. ^_^
