Been working on a visual style for Windows XP, that reflects the Wii's look and style. Only started work on it last night. So there's obviously alot that I need to work on still. I thought maybe you guys could give me some ideas, on what I could include in the style -That's only if you're interested in seeing it fully designed though. There's going to be 2 substyles. -- Wii [black] -- Wii [White Here's a preview: Edit: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a272/tienano/WiiPreview.jpg ImageShack seems to be screwing up or something. I've got an idea for the Start Button. So I'm thinking of getting rid of the design that I've got at the moment for it. But I'll be keeping the "house" symbol, as it's focus point. Ignore the Close, Minimize, Maximize buttons. Plus anything else that doesn't seem to be part of the overall design, Lol. Oh yeah...I need an idea of what I could do for the Start Menu. Anyway. If you've got any ideas, let me know. Edit: Update added further on in this thread. Along with a conceptual creation of the Start menu.

I'm now inside the Alien ship, in Crysis. The story up to that part has been amazing. It really is a fantastic game. I bought Call Of Duty 4 last week, and got Gears Of War and Crysis this week. It's hard trying to find time to play them all. In fact, I haven't even played Gears Of War yet, Lol.

Would someone mind pm'ing me the brief plot-outline that's on the back of the case, please?

I decided to design a new template for Gameplay's website...just for practice and to improve my skills. Here's what I've done so far: Comments are welcome. Edit: Update:

Thanks. Did you see my update?

Thanks. Thank you. Done. Done. So you prefer the shade of purple that Gameplay is currently using for their site? And can you be more specific to which sections of text you think could be changed in size? I've widened the content. Thank you. Update:

Thank you. They'll be less purple when I'm finished with it, Lol.

I've never heard about that before. It seems perfect for people that are looking to start designing signatures, because it gives the user an idea of where not to position certain components. But for the more advanced user (which I would class yourself as), you should explore out of that grid, but always stick to a level of fluidity - making everything flow and pin-pointing a central focus point (A light source is good for making a focal point.)

That's good. I'm glad you're taking into account what I've said, and learning from it. Don't rely on a 'system' to determine certain aspects of signature design. Use your own judgement - your own creative mind...

Nice tutorial.

For crying out loud. Because you find out that you'll be battling one of the main enemy characters in the game, and that a well known area within the Zelda Franchise...is funnily enough, a "dungeon", from reading what someone else has said on an open forum, you have to piss and moan about it, because you haven't reached those parts of the story yet. ...my god. Grow up.

Got mines. Cya's later, Lol.

Well I decided to nip into town. I got Red Steel and Wii Play (Goddamn the Wii Remote is SMALL!!!!) from my local Woolworths ( I never ordered my games with Argos - Amazon instead, but I wouldn't have received them until next Thursday). They had quite a few copies of nearly all of the launch games -I was surprised. I think they only had 1 Wii Play left...because there was just one display box when I had got there. They also had a couple of the classic controllers. ...Anyway. Now I just need to wait on my Wii being delivered. :|

I've ordered mines from Argos. I got that automated call yesterday. It said that it should be delivered on Friday (today)... I. Hate. Waiting.

Right, I've started to concentrate more on the Icon Set (done 100% in Adobe Photoshop CS2). I've only done a few icons at the moment. Here's a preview: A couple of them, are just mock-ups. I ain't sure if I'm going to stick to the design of the DVD Drive, or replace the CD Drive design, and make that the DVD one instead. Anyway. I need some ideas on what icons I can do, to accompany the set. So if you've got any ideas, please share them. I'm gonna try and do a 100 Icons in total. [Edit] Forgot to mention that they will be all available in .ICO or .PNG format.

Wii White VS v1.0 Download here: Click There are 4 substyles, a normal and compact start menu. Aswell as two alternative start buttons -the 'House Symbol' and 'Wii Logo'. Ignore the Shellstyle (it's the bar that runs down the left-hand-side of the windows, that has links to various actions) for now -I'm having problems skinning it. If you do experience any issues with this, please let me know. The Black Version is still in the works. StyleBuilder and the msstyle / visual style format is limited, so I may need to re-think certain parts of the style. I'm just hoping it won't look entirely different from the WindowBlinds version. I'll post it here, once I've finished it. Enjoy. ______________________ WindowBlinds versions can be found here: Click

Did you install the Futura Medium (File name: FUTURAM.TFF) font?
