[crooner]

I am honored to announce that NetworkShadow (busy beyond belief) has entrusted me to try and carry a theme concept through to fruition. He will be involved in the development as much as his busy schedule allows. Remember, this is obviously in alpha stage.

On first sight I was reminded of a '58 Corvette, hence the name, "Vette".

Now then, my graphic skills are pretty feeble, so any help will be much appreciated. I want to make NetworkShadow proud and do justice to his exceptional talent.

Color variations are definitely planned, but that's putting the cart way ahead of the horse.

TIA for any offers to help.

Wow,,I like that.Looks a bit like ivory ta me.Ya man looks real good.

[MacMan4000]

Looks great! If you don't do red as a variation I will be very disappointed .

[NetworkShadow]

lol well wait on my response next time before posting anything, but I'm cool with it. Glad this baby's getting made finally.

We maybe able to do a red variation. I've got a mockup somewhere with a red version of the same chrome substance I used for this. We'll see how this goes.

demograph68: thanks for the input, but I've tried without the outlines a long time ago and it losses it's charm... I've tried thinner and thicker also.
I agree with you on the tabs, and the "grow-box" lighting direction.
As for the scroll bars, I like the standard rounded bevel... I might play with it a bit, but I'm happy with them as they are.

Input is welcome, but this is my baby.

Thanks for taking this on crooner.

[Lord Sith]

Very Nice. I really like this.

If you have a question, I'd love to try and help.

I'm not dissing it at all! It looks great! I'm just throwing out some possibilities.

Agreed. I LIKE the lines he has in there, I wouldn't change it.

[NetworkShadow]

Sorry 56K users - A few ideas for some other colors:


We'll start with one color, so don't get too excited.



Thanks demograph68 I understand.

Yeah, yeah, everyone feels sorry for the 56K'ers. But what about those of us on 28.8K? Shouldn't you feel more sorry for us?

lol I sent you the updated mockups. We need to rework the tabs and finish the buttons next. I'll try and put some time into finishing the mockup elements this weekend.

[fireside]

it looks like Tuxedo.

I can't find anywhere to download TuXedo so I can't comment. Post a pic or send me the theme, okay?
Groovy.

[penguinn]

every theme is going to look similar to another one. its just what happens.
Tuxedo doesn't even exist anymore.... i forget what it looks like, i have no clue how u remember

i love this theme, i'll download it for sure

[cruciarius]

i'll download this theme, once its finished too.

as for themes looking a like..not much you can really do with the X for close - for minimize or + for maximize other than taking them off, like siro. buttons and colors are also going to be similar to a lot of other themes, but they arn't using the exact same shade..or if they do, then you can complain a bit...

[olorin15]

Best ... theme ... EVER! Oh, and green would be so cool ... Make it asap!!!

[Lord Sith]

I think Smoothicons would look nice with this theme.

[NetworkShadow]

Again picking-up on remote similarities, (like how Siro "looks like" AlumiteX). The white on a darker color for a title bar is reminiscent of TuX... otherwise looks nothing like it.

Thanks man.

[efuseakay]

Where is the bright yellow?

For someone as critical as you, why have you ignored Mitchell's suggestion that you turn your critical eye to yourself?

Do you grasp the meaning of constructive criticism?

lol We might have to do one or two colors per version... But I think we'll stick to the best colors.

[FB Eye]

I think we can safely say that they don't look alike

yeah, they don't look alike too much. Vette looks good and that..well..its ok, i suppose

And bright yellow is the best color!

lol I need to finsh my Panther port of TuX. It's kinda a mess still though, and I had to steal Max's Milk tabs until I could make some that match the push buttons.

[Ubbe]

that looks great (Y)

[FB Eye]

You, my good friend NetworkShadow, need to finish this!!!

That's just drop dread gorgeous

[Mighty_Mike_T]

Spiffy! Now hurry up and finish it!

[crooner]

Originally posted by FB Eye:

Thanks for the pic.

Yeah... I'd have to say that they're pretty different, insofar as all themes are going to be somewhat similar due to the current restrictions the OS places on design.

What did I just say? I need to go back to bed. I'm never letting my manager set a meeting for 9am again. This is Vegas, for 's sake.

Like NS said, we'll pick the coolest couple of colors and then, like Chevrolet, release "new models" of the Vette with different exterior and interior colors.

No, there will not be a Fine Corinthian Leather variant (although Ricardo Montalban has been contacted to be the official Vette spokesman).

It's a green
Calabi.

It looks less like Calabi than Vette looks like TuXedo...
I was talking to mac15 about finishing that one together.


Another one of mine

NS you might want to get in touch with the gentleman that modded IZA's Plaster (Sorry i forgot your name)... He's in to �ber clean themes, and i think he would do Zion it's justice. Hang... His name is: Gerrit Vanoppen... it bothered me not having it in the post

Hey, sure if anyone wants to make it; contact me at once. I'd be happy to do the same kinda development partnership crooner and I are doing with Vette.

[MacMan4000]

Lookin good . but that red looks more like pink/purple/maroon . I was hoping for this color:



But, that might be too bright. Maybe your is as light as it can get without blinding people. (maybe I'm just too picky... or a moron... or both)

and yellow .. =P

[mrtew]

I tried tweaking the colors a little to make them less harsh and primary. Might be more pleasing to work with? I love this theme!

[cruciarius]

i like the previous colors more, but...add these ones into it too

[NetworkShadow]

Originally posted by cruciarius:

lol I think that proves almost any color would work.

[crooner]

Originally posted by NetworkShadow:

Yep. I tend to agree. And while NS has "final cut" authority, I think we'll start with colors fairly reminiscent of the colors Chevrolet used on the Corvette. Cool, huh?

And, yes, I think they did offer it in yellow.

[bentoon]

That new Red is very nice, I like the olive green too...
{pant , pant}
I'm totally drooling
