Well, it's August, already. Hottest month over with...hoping (against hope) August will be somehow better.

Decided to give tribute to three great Master skinners, and really good people...one of whom is here in memory only, Xiandi (Lady X), PoSmedley, and WebGizmos. They collaborated to create a beautiful skin, my desktop of the month: Xiandi the Windowblind and CursorFX, PoSmedley, the walls, and WebGizmos, the Winstep Xtreme.

We're talkin' Metropolite:

Nostalgia "Mycolor" stardock themes converted for Winstep by myself, always a pleasure to display them on my desktop with xion player and rainmeter...
Timeless..!

Some more work done on my v2 of the steam theme. This is more in line with the new colors/graphics valve has updated steam with recently. There will be a light mode as well for those who have issues with the dark blue text being hard to see on some applications due to hard coded white backgrounds in those apps.

Thanks for the white text version, SimplexDesigns. Much easier on my old eyes. The blue simply lacked adequate luminosity (for my eyes). Well done!

Great screenshots! The completeness in style is a very nice touch.

I love just looking at the screenshots, seeing what sort of possibilities there are on "the other side"

Was playing around with vStyler's Vienna (free skin in the WC Gallery but his Master skins are available at Lightstar's new commercial site) and AI and so I modded a wall for it. The docks and modules are Xiandi's Ultimate Clean.

This substyle will be a premium download option eventually, its a fairly quick wip as I want testing out if I were to invert the colors in photoshop and change the hue to blue. It did come out nicely, just a little rough in some areas.

I will include a white explorer background withe the base style (the one with dark frames/elements) as part of the free version(lite).

"This substyle will be a premium download"

Where will that be available? There are no longer premium skins available here on WC.

What interested me was the dark version with the white font. Strange to base a premium skin on only that.

The only version that will cost money is that all white edition. The ones I have shown before that will be free. I had to redesign a bunch of stuff to get the white graphics to work right. So that's why I decided to make that version cost a little something.

So to recap, the dark/dark explorer & dark/ white explorer options will be fully free. The all white version will be a premium theme. Hopefully that sorts out any confusion XD
