Skin Pack 4 in progress...

Not long to wait now!

February 7, 2005 6:57:56 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Now that I've updated my website a bit and brought the skins up to date, I've started on the new skin pack. This one, like my previous ones, will have three exclusive WindowBlinds skins available for sale for $5. Each one will be v4.x skins which will include progress animations, shellstyles, toolbar icons and wallpapers, and for the first time - compact start menu options.

The first skin is complete and number two is under way! I'm hoping for a release before the end of the month.

(My existing $5 packs are all still available at Essorant.com.)

Here's a 'work in progress' snapshot of skins 1 and 2 in the pack of three:



The accent, as usual, is on 'usableness'.

Well the two above are ready now and the third is about 60% complete. Looks like I've missed my end of Februray deadline, but the release should be soon - hopefully within the next couple of weeks.

In the article by Frogboy

Link

"We also have a fantastic new skin pack from Essorant that is about to be released."

One and the same?

Well spotted Jeff T: but not quite the full story.

I suppose that if FB has already mentioned it in his blog, then it isn't too much of a secret...

Stardock will be releasing a skin pack which is made up of a pick of skins from my first three skin packs (Colours, Cooler and Refresh - chosen I think by the Stardock staff!), plus a new skin which you've had a sneak preview of above.

I will also be releasing a pack of three new skins on my own website, one of which is the new skin in the Stardock pack.

The full details should be out soon!

(And FYI, the final third skin in my new pack is about 70% complete now.)

All done apart from a little testing. Should be ready for release next week!

Sorry for the delay. I'm actually waiting for something from Stardock before I release my skin pack. I want to maximise the publicity for both the Stardock thing and my own.

It's getting me a little impatient too...
