Request Alkaline Trio Skin [mock up inside]

I have tried a few times to create a windowblind skin for my favourite band, Alkaline Trio. Its a punk rock band (some may call them emo ) and they have really great songs.

I don't have a problem creating a mock up windowblinds look in photoshop, but actually 'cutting' the image up into windowblind sections, assembling it, and making it WORK is a whole nother story lol. Here is the idea I have in mind:



I have the psd of all the pieces and stuff (not the BEST it could be, but better than nothing). It took me about 2 and a half hours to make in photoshop. I made it follow along the same lines as Azenis 2 with the windowbars and stuff.

I plan to create a shell style (is that what the left bar is in explorer??) later if I can get a windowblind made .

If anyone is up for the challenge, I'd be more than happy to send the .psd over and they can have a look at it and see if its useable to make the windowblind.

Thanks for reading

Oh, and if you want to know anything about the skin (like transparency levels, fonts, colors, etc etc) just let me know. I haven't done scrollbars, buttons, or anything like that yet. Its almost 3 am here .

I've actually decided to make a different start menu with transparency that better matches the skin :

Jesus. That is very nice. I'm a total idiot for the band, can't wait for you to put this one up for use. I was kinda partial to the roses around the start menu too, by the way. *drools over the AT goodness*

I've been very busy the past week or so, and haven't worked on the skin at all. I could put up a functioning "beta" as soon as I can figure out how to get the left and right window boarders actually working lol. Thats pretty much all I have left to do to make it functional.

Then of course I have all the little tidbits to do (animations, mouseovers, etc).

I don't know when it'll be up, but it will be finsihed eventually lol ^_^.

Thanks for your interest .

haha! Procrastinating is always fun!

I'd love to test it out whenever you get that whole 'beta' thing going. Love the start button, by the way!
