Thanks, John :)

 

I'm sure Jim will be here shortly asking where the pinstripes are.

My initial draft image had vertical pinstripes running through the black areas.

 

 

It looked great in PS, but I ran into huge alignment issues on the window frames. I had to admit defeat in the end......if there is a way to make it work, it must be beyond my skill level because I worked for several days trying to make it all line up.

Hell, if you want pinstripes, use a wallpaper with stripes on it!

:P

So did I.

 

The problem with them was the fact that the titlebar and right side behave differently from each other when resizing a window. The right side is "static" but the top moves as it tiles or stretches. That gave me a 1 pixel offset on some frame sizes.

 

Just something I couldn't live with. :typo:

I felt that the user pic would give it a certain awkwardness so I left it out on this skin. I've done plenty of skins with a user pic.....it just didn't suit this design IMO.

I love this. Especially with those Star Trek walls. (Those walls are the best Star Trek walls of any I have ever seen or downloaded.)
