Island Dog Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The Dragon skin comes with an animated start menu, scaled textures, and complete support for XP and Vista. Designed by Stardock Design's Mike Bryant and ChaNinja, Dragon is helps demonstrate the unique capabilities of WindowBlinds (and MyColors) with its fluid animation and complete skinning support of both XP and Vista.

Frogboy Administrators Posted March 14, 2008 Administrators Share Posted March 14, 2008 This is definitely one of the best visual styles I've ever seen. It's clean enough to actually be used but original enough that normal people will say "aha! I can see wh you skin your GUI!"

x-byte Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Nothing special. Sometimes a regret buying WindowBlinds, to few minimalistic themes out there. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/625585-vs-dragon/#findComment-589272371 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thornz0 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Really need to work on which skins are shown off for Neowin viewers (mostly directed at Stardock/Wincust mods/admins). Here's one your typical Neowinian forum troll would be more likely to like, and wasn't given a thread. Works great with forced coloring options too. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/625585-vs-dragon/#findComment-589272648 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_is_Axel Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 that looks like a really nice theme style (dragon). What wallpaper is that on the background? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/625585-vs-dragon/#findComment-589273232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thornz0 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 That looks like a crappy linux theme. Ha, I guess I kind of set myself up there...well to each their own I guess. But if you're judging it by a thumbnail with the weird background, you're doing yourself a disservice. It adopts the background into itself, if that makes any sense... that looks like a really nice theme style (dragon). What wallpaper is that on the background?

Island Dog Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Here's one your typical Neowinian forum troll would be more likely to like, and wasn't given a thread. I'm not really interested in what the trolls, I just like to present a broad range of skins for people to see. I had to look back because I really thought I had posted that skin, because it is a great one. I will put it up tomorrow morning.

I.R.Brainiac Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Its a bit more polished than the original molten(which was good)...excellent skin. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/625585-vs-dragon/#findComment-589274580 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works great with forced coloring options too. :) I think most *normal* people would find the Dragon skin to be pretty cool. As for the people living in mom's basement who get their kicks on crapping on stuff in an effort to help them ignore that they live lives of no consequence, you'll always have them floating around using phrases like "fugly". We wouldn't want to deprive them of their ability to do that as it's probably the only thing they have going for them. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/625585-vs-dragon/#findComment-589276123 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are they'd see em on Wincustomize anyways :) Not that its appropriate here, there are simply too many disgruntled individuals looking to rain on parades, but there is something to be said about building an image. /shrug.

Yes but the difference is that I can make trolls disappear here. Neowin, as a whole, is moving forward with trying to show the basement dweller class the door. I'm sure there are "leet" sites out there just waiting for their patronage.
