Shade - Preview

[Md]

As with Flumps skin, this ain't finished yet. It's a preview of a skin Triadian and I are working on.

Maybe the last one I'll do. Who knows. :)

what!? no replies, quick, I'd better post it in the General Discussion forum :p

Just kidding ;)

I like the idea of polls, so am going to do one :)

[DREADNOUGHT]

need a 'looks great but wouldn't use it' option :D

just not my style, but its sterling work :)

[Md]

Hmm... maybe the post should have been a simple:

I would use it
I wouldn't use it

That way I'd know if I should continue it or not :)

[DREADNOUGHT]

guess im a gonna have to be a negative there then m@RcDa|\|i3L

[Md]

heh, it's all good dN :)

I was trying for a compact thin bordered, less arty yet still somewhat stylish approach, asked help from Triadian which he gave based on my initial idea.

I'll wait a few days to see what the poll says, if no one will use it, I'll stick to my huge skins :D I do have a Lord of the Rings skin up my sleeve :P

[Risen]

I like it a lot, but it doesn't suit my style. Nice work - but not something I would use.

[Kid]

I think it's too bland. it looks like it's for monochrome screens, but monochrome screens doesnt have grayscale like this. it's also too decorative. when it becomes decorative, the problem becomes that i cant match it with other windows.

[Flump]

Well, I like it m8... lol ...
And don't worry about it looking a bit bland, It will be ripped and recolored to death within a week... :)
I'd use it, but then again I change skins every day to see what different skinners are upto ( You, Kid & Javageek) & what works best.

white is too bright!

[Kraelen]

I say I would use it - but that doesn't mean full time. I also find it hard to say that with full confidence until I actually use it. :p

However, I hope this poll doesn't sway you one way or another, no matter what the results are.

[KwanYu]

i'd go for it, looks damn cool. 10 outa 10 for style and idea man :)

[lazybones]

Great style:)

but lack of color:(

Pure white is just to bright... maybe if there was some color added or the main window color was changed....

[Md]

Most of that white space will be Display or Edit or Buddylist area.

Hmm...

Would ppl want a SkinViewer working only Version to get a better idea?

Meaning, you can't load it in trillian yet, but you can grab the skin viewer from the Skins > Make & Submit area and then test it out in it.

Yeah - nah?

Heh, if it were all NOs then I'd say, fair enough, make it and not submit it.

But even if one person likes it, it's another skin for 1 person :)

[pSJP]

I think I will put it on my coat

[KAMiKAZOW]

It looks very good so far, but I miss .... er ... colors.
I vote for: "I don't know."

[Md]

My hunch is ppl will like the winshade mode. :p
