Some progress....

Murex has graciously volenteered to make a DX theme for this blind. Whle he was playing around with ideas, he made a couple things for his DX that I just have to use in my blind. I know I said I was going to use only my work, but once I saw what he made....I just couldn't resist.

He made a sword, an axe and some shields, and sent them to me. I tweaked the sword and shield (the axe was perfect) a bit to match the blind a bit better and put them in. I have them in the loading screen, the control panel branding, and the start button. (I'm using them in the wallpaper too, but I'm not showing that off just yet)

2of3 suggested that my next shot of the blind should be on a lighter background to show off some of the detail. So...here is what I got so far. Vista is pretty much done.

I'm telling ya.....Master skin stuff here!!!!!   (Merle's a suck up!!)

Your just jealous because i sucked up first... 

It's an awesome looking DX, M! Thanks for making it!

Me too.

Ha ha.

looking sensational guys.... 

Shredder....Who else gets away with 'shoulder pads' like that!?

It's off topic, but as someone who discovered skinning by accident a couple of years ago, the level of artistry of some skinning is amazing, and most of it is done for free by enthusiasts who make a living doing something else. It's a real luxury to be able to dress up your desktop in so many great ways for basically nothing. I look at my screen most of the day, every day, and I get to put something this good on it if I feel like it. So, thanks Cyndie and everybody else who makes it possible.

I'm a geddon jealous.

Looking nice
