Title: [VX/VXA] Luna's Windowskins
Post by: Lunarea on April 04, 2011, 07:00:41 PM

In the process of making some custom things for my project, I've created a windowskin that didn't turn out half-bad. Since I'm not going to use it, I figured it was best to offer it to the community.

Windowskin 1: Fancy

Windowskin 2: Nature

It's kinda cute ;)
Two things catch my attention though; the background seems quite bland to me. Maybe a fadeout on the purple would be nice. The other thing is the border: the verticals are straight lines with bracket curves at the end, and the horizontals are chains. It just seems kind of odd to me, but it still looks good.
Much like all of your work :)

Yeah, it is very nice but I agree with Pacman that the background could be a little more textured. I don't know if a gradient would do it, but you could add something to the repeating pattern as well that would give it a little more character. All in all, great work!

Thanks for the feedback!

The points you raise are good, but some of it depends on personal preference. I usually go for a basic simplicity, myself. So, I pretty much erase the gradients or patterns in windowskins. But I realize other people really like them, so I'll see if I can add a subtle texture.

The "side" double-border looked too plain across the whole window, and the links looked too busy when surrounding the window. This was a best of both worlds alternative. I encourage everyone to change it up as they see fit, though :3
