Title: Vista LBT Background Project
Post by: landbeforetimelover on May 02, 2008, 05:15:47 AM

Well, I've been working on a new LBT desktop background that would work decently with a windows vista themed computer (since I'm going to be designing a new LBT desktop theme that's going to be LBT/Vista in design).  I've been working on this background that will be set as default when the user applies the theme.  Any design suggestions?

NOTE:  It's a link because it's so large.

It looks pretty cool LBTLover! I know you've always had a nack for this kinda thing. I'm liking the minor touches with the character shadows ;) One thing though, given the smiles on everyone's faces, Spike looks a little depressed I though  :^.^: And Ducky looks a little bemused. Wonder what she's thinking "I cannot believe I have been put on a Vista desktop...oh no, no, no!"  :lol

Kidding. It looks good though matey. Nice work ;)

Yeah, it's nice!  I like how you included it in your VistaLBT desktop theme!  (That's what my current desktop is on the other computer!)

Well, you might want to change it.  I've been beating myself up about how it just didn't look right and I found a horrible error.  Ducky's shadow is so screwed up.  You shouldn't be able to see her feet!!!!!!! :blink: I fixed it, so if you want to you can change it to this much better version:

Heh...  Okay, sure...  Are you gonna patch your theme then?

Yeah, I'll do it eventually.  It's not that big of an error.  Most don't even notice it, but I'll re-zip the files and upload them again.

It's really good but... I'm still not happy with the way Ducky looks I'm afraid. Her stance makes her look like she's on a flat surface but... she's on Spike. It sort of looks like she's hovering a bit.

Just me?

The culprit is Spike.  His skin has no texture where Ducky's shadow is.  There's not much I can do about that, even with photoshop.

...Yeah, that's too bad, but it DOES look good.

...Hovering?  Yes, I thought of it like that as well.

Don't fret, landbeforetimelover.  It's fine.
