I've been a bit busy lately, so there was little update. A new preview is available now though:

Besides the complete background/dock changes (that has nothing to do with the skin ) there are now images in the buttons - don't know if you like them or not. The depth gadget is still lacking - and there is a new checkbox image as well. That's all for now.

mmmmmm, candy........

/homer off

I like the softer dimples on the checkboxes.

Now, I think the first skin is ready.

I'll compile an install from the skin, the MUI buttons and MUI settings soon. And in the meantime I started to work on the second one, but it's still very preliminary (and even in it's early state contains a bug - even the only new button has been positioned too low ):

preview of skin 2

What's with the REALLY small screensize?

I keep seeing these silly little 800x600 screenmodes that are pants to work on

Boost it up to minimum 1024x760. You really cant show a system off these days without space and moderate sized icons.

Hmm, myabe thats the thing - maybe u do have a large screenmode, but the icons are way too big? make em smaller!



Oh, and I prefer skin 2 to 1. big time. but i think 2 is too dark.

TTFN :)

(hopefully helpful critism, not nasty critism! )

Don't want to ruin your argument, but it's 1024x768

Thanks to Ambient, system wide icon resize is just a matter of a few clicks - but I like it this way Anyway, we have way more space than the megalomanly skinned OS4 grabs have.

If you'd be so kind to test the skin before I'm uploading it to MorphZone:

SpaceStation Skin Download

Bug reports are welcome. Based on Aaron Diezman's Sky skin installer, I owe him many thanks for the permission in the readme

EDIT

Damn, the preview image remained the same. Reuploaded the archive.

I was about to report the wrong preview

The skin really looks great
I just need to find out where the
MUI files are copied ... cant find the radiobutton
in the selection window ...

Edit:
(ups ... found after a reboot )

It does look nice, however I don't like how all the border gadgets are identical on inactive windows.

Is the Dock in the preview transparent, or did you do a little trick???

As I've already answered in the Gallery : Well, to be honest, that's just the impression, it's fake transparency, achieved via textures. I did them with showgirls.

And a bug report to Targhan:
In the Gallery the post numbers are incorrect. In Browse all it shows 1 post when there are 2.

Uploaded the preview into the gallery, and submitted the skin to the download area as well. Now, how it was with my second skin...

Warface all your skins look awsome! Thanks for all the work you do. I hope you keep it up.
