Aero Dynamic v3 A0 Release

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 30, 2008, 7:03 AM
Just uploaded the new VS for you guys.

Right now it`s not entirely finished, still a few tweaks to make, but it will be updated this coming Tuesday at the latest.

I just didn`t have enough time to finish completely before uploading. So please don`t mind the terrible desktop background / preview / whatever. :D It WILL be fixed.

Once again thank you for all the support guys!

From this point onward, my theming routine will change, for the better hopefully. I`ve been working with a little "system" that should help me create new visual styles quickly and more professionally. So maybe there won`t be any more loooonnnnnggg wait periods for you guys who may be waiting for me to release something new. :D

Thanks for viewing.

Aero Dynamic is almost completed. Shaping up pretty nicely. But its still missing "something", don`t know what, but it sure could use something else to make it stand out a bit more from my previous VS`s.

The change list is in the artist comments on the updated preview shot. I felt it would be easier to just continue changing the current preview shot until I get ready to release the final version sometime this coming weekend.

Not sure what to do from here.
I mean I`m actually running out of ideas on what to do next with theming Vista... Wish it were so much easier to change almost every aspect of the Vista GUI, with less time spent.

To anyone getting into the themeing game, IT WILL CONSUME A LOT OF YOUR TIME. :D Just some friendly advice. Shouldn`t be too hard for anyone with a very active imagination though. Time won`t be an issue then.

But I plan on either trying to get on a team, any team, that are doing a complete overhaul of Vista ala [link] or something similar. On my own I`m alright I guess, but maybe working on a team project will help refuel my imagination and teach me a lot more...don`t know. Just something I`ve been thinking about lately.

Will post more updates later on.
Back to guitar practice.

Thanks for visiting! :D

Ok to let you all know I`ve not abandoned creating themes for Vista :P, Gonna show some progress.

As of this journal update, the new preview shot of Aero.Dynamic v3.0 or "Aero.Dynamic FINAL", is being uploaded to my gallery.

It will take about close to 15 minutes, more or less, on this dial up connection to upload, but oh well. :D

Finally getting back into the routine.
Takes a while when one becomes lazy I suppose.

Oh the previous look hasn`t been entirely scrapped, I could add the elements that were good about it right back in a flash. I`m a pack rat. :D I never really delete resources / old themes / projects and all that, which is probably why I`m constantly low on HDD space, it pays off though, and this habit has saved my butt more than once.

Would like to know everyone`s opinion on the new preview shot.
It`s far from finished, I`m basically trying to nail the new look of the task-bar & start menu first, then either re-add the older elements that worked, or start fresh.

Thanks for viewing and stay tuned, more progress reports are on the way, including news on the final "final" version of M11. :)

I don`t know about most you guys, but me, I`ve decided to enjoy my summer time a bit. Go on a little family vacation, spend time with family & friends, get in some time learning a new trade (that`s now definitely going to make me some money), and just kick back and chill.

So what that means is that, yes, my projects are on temp hold. As if the waiting wasn`t long enough already, due to the fact that I`ve had to set my computer up again after a nasty HDD format, and other things coming up in my personal life. And I apologize if anyone has been waiting this long and haven`t seen anything.

The projects that are close to completion will be released next week. As for the others they will be put on the back burner for a while so to speak...And yes I WILL release something next week. So keep an eye open for the new projects being released. And yes Aero Dynamic will have a new start button (with color), the current one will be nixed.

Again I do apologize for taking so much time, but I really can`t spend all day / every day on the net or in front of my PC (although I have done it before :D).

So thanks for viewing, feel free to drop by leave a comment, let me know how you guys are doing. Again new projects, NEXT WEEK. :D
Just be patient with me :p.

I just wanted to take the time to let everyone know that my computer is slowly but surely dying on me. Well, its mostly my main hard drive (has operating system on it) that is dying. Definitely time for an upgrade. Too bad I don`t have the scratch to upgrade. :( Oh well, that`s life for ya :D...

Due to this weird virus / glitch / issue I was having with my last Vista installation, I had to format my HDD and re-install (twice!!). The problem I was having was with the password protected sharing option, couldn`t turn it off for anything. It would let me disable it, but then the option would turn itself back on, as quickly as I could disable it. So sharing anything to my family member`s PCs, or my Xbox 360 was a no go. So frustrating. That issue seems to be solved so far. It was a common problem, or so I have noticed by personal Google research. Weird...

VS Progress

None. Sad to say. Been so busy setting my PC up again to get back to work. Needless to say it has been no fun. But everything is almost back to normal.

Work should resume shortly. :)

Thanks for viewing. Expect another update pretty soon. :wave:
