Seeking Custom WindowBlind Skin - Poker Themed

Paying Job

from WinCustomize Forums

Greetings;

I am interested in have a custom skin made for the computers (4) in my Poker Room.  They all run Windows 7.  They all have 40"+ Samsung LED monitors.

I am programmer but have little skill in graphics design (see http://www.5aces.org/).   I have some existing graphics which are pretty 2 dimensional, but would provide a place to start.  I have a clear vision of the look, Old school saloon.   Budget $500-$1000 US.  Complete by 1 April.

If you would sent me a note if you are interested, we could proceed to discuss costs and turn around time.  

Sincerely;

Jeffrey Holste

Boxxi makes some amazing stuff.

A less-good option would be the Texas Hold 'em Suite.  It's not Vista or Win7 ready so there would be some gaps.

Worth looking at though.

I thinks some master skinner should do a military theme for those that served, You could use variuous enlisted rnaks and officer ranks for the Icon package, you could ust the various Military service logos for buttons and such, the Miltary colors of the different services especailly the Marine Colours of Red and Gold would be fantastic, I know Boxxi loves blue he could possibly do a US Navy Skin or US Air Force Skin, Army Black Gold and Green Look at

I'm from England, so if I DID do a military skin, it would be for the UK forces. But I can't see me doing it somehow........ not my thing. B[]

I think that Texas Hold 'em skin would be ideal for your project too!! But I guess it might not have that "old school saloon" look that you want.....

Ok I only used up your name because of your reputation as a skinner. Also because the blue spectrum is your choice of colors in most of your work.

Great walls Doc.

As I continue my quest, Several contributors are helping to educate me on what I am asking for.   I currently see two options,

1) Using an existing skin (like the Holdem Suite mentioned above) and just contract for a sexy cool wallpaper,

- OR -

2) Go "All In" and get a full fleded Theme (WindowBlind, Icon, Wallpaper).  <- leaning this way.

(FYI: I prefer the picture of the old farts playing Faro over the cartoon image).  Both are good pictures.

Hmmmmmm,  I did not know you were going to advertise all over WinCustomize Jeffrey, but you already have my offer.

I'd lose icons on those walls Doc posted . . but to each their own.

I wanted to follow up with everyone, I decided that while the quotes I received were probably fair for the amount of work that was involved ($900-$1900 - Full Theme), I just opted to go with a custom wallpaper.   The prices for a wallpaper only were almost all the same price at $300.   I chose http://www.blueskyheart.com as the designer.

Thanks again, and I still admire the craftsmanship that you all display in this area.
