Thanks MG, as if I hadnt tweaked and tweaked enough.... I tweaked it some more... added a bit more brightness, shine, color, and reduced the texturing a bit.

Definitely the final version now..

Time to start assembling. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

Well, it's 4 different textures blended in Photoshop, flettened, then dodged and burned, then set to overlay mode over the start menu vector shape, then about 7 extra similar start menu vector shapes stacked on top and used for the lighting via layer style bevel settings, set to vivid light.

 

I can post the PSD if anyone wants it [e digicons][/e]

 

Jim.... yes... of course [e digicons]:w00t:[/e]

 

Thanks to everyone else too [e digicons]:smitten:[/e]

I'd love the PSD, maybe for a rainmeter set, or just to look at how other people create their skins. Y'know, learn some tips 'n' tricks. [e digicons][/e]

Here you go, although, it will more than anything just be a lesson in how disorganized I work, although it's all straight in my head of course [e digicons][/e]

Might surprise some folks too,  just how many damn layers make up this start menu... More than I care to spend time counting [e classic][/e]

regardless, will give u some idea of my crazy workflow and methodology behind the madness.

Good luck!  [e classic][/e]

as well as WB can I suppose, The rule of thumb with recoloring is the flatter the color, the least amount of gradients... the better.

Madness... yes, lol. Don't you get lost sometimes when you don't name your layers?

I generally don't recolor blinds because it's not always easy to recolor the peripheral skins.

 

Plus recoloring would alter what drew me to the skin in the first place.

 

That's just me. I usually use all skins in their default state, to get the effect the author envisioned.

Thanks V. I'll give it a proper look later, but it seems like you work like I do. If it weren't for putting things in groups, I'd be totally screwed, 'cause I can't be bothered with naming layers.[e digicons]:grin:[/e]

If I don't name the layers I get totally lost. I use modules in my smx's now and keeping them straight in my head is one thing but remembering them all and in what order .... no way. Looking forward to this baby.
