Hey, I just installed Object Desktop Ultimate today because i am sick of crappy bright colours of normal vista and such and now i am just a beginner so i need some great easy to understand help on how to use Skinstudio 6 and such to make my computer look and feel awesome to me. I have also noticed that i cant get bootskins for vista (although i cant get login studio vista to work so i dunno bout this) and such. Here is my whole computer setup idea...
The puter would start up normally and go through from motherboard etc to boot screen which would just be one of my pics with the loading bar which would just go from a red skull to another red skull but instead of a plain loading bar the skull would appear to scroll across the page changing colour (going through any range of colours) then moving to the login page > I would like to have a nice black login background like this:

I would change the oval part to be a nice white skull and what i would love to do would be to have neon blue eyes for the user choice (username shown as a different coloured pupil but link as whole eye socket) and then the place to type your password would be in the teeth section in blood red. Then it would go through normally to the next loading screen (to be the same as the boot screen). You would then arrive at the desktop where i would have a nice black theme with black background (where the wallpaper doesnt fill). I would be using Webshots to use a roaming wallpaper that would be changing every so often. The Sidebar would have a black background with blood red buttons. The Taskbar would be fairly similar to the normal setup but with a neon blue eye shaped start menu button with a black skull and blood red eyes with gold teeth. the taskbar would be a marbled style black. the notification section of the taskbar would have an orange halo around it with an inset black background. the clock would be red. The start menu would be similar to the Molten wba file (the one that comes with Object desktop) but not animated. The window theme would be basically similar to the vista graphite colour with full intensity but with a neon blue for active titlebar lettering and blood red for inactive windows. I would use a similar setup for selection/mouse over/inactive colours on the taskbar and menus. I would then use an icon package to change all my icons to a similar to vista setup with more blood red/neon blue throughout then normal vista. I dont really have a sound package idea to use but i would be thinking something with a goth/emo/rock/punk sorta twist either set towards the music styles or what i dont really care.
I dont know how much of that is possible so if any of you amazing skinners or just anyone could/would be able to create this whole/part of this setup for me for free i would be hugely greatful and might even fly to you just to kiss you
I understand it is a huge task and therefore if none of you could do this for me or an improvised version with your own twist then i would still be hugely greatful if you could take the time to help me to do this with my own software.
Thanks, Thomas (King)
