Well, when you love doing this sort of thing, it's easy to share your knowledge and just as rewarding as doing the work. Allot of the modders here learned from the one another and is why we have the best themes site on the net.. I love what these folks come up with from themes to gadgets and more. My forte is backgrounds, you can find a bunch of my stuff on DA if your into it.. https://billstelling.deviantart.com/gallery/
I love that site too. You know the 7Tsp app. That is so cool to use. It's a wonder more themers don't use it for their work. That app just blows me away. Too bad the selection isn't bigger.Quote:

I need to get back into it now that things have slowed up a bit for me. I run The Windows Center and spent a few months of long days getting it all turned around when I was asked to take it over a few months back. I have a few Ideas for themes I need to start putting together before the Windows 8 beta hits next month.. Oh yea.. that is another thing that I'm sure many of these guys and gals will be getting into to figure out theming it. We are hoping that it will be a whole lot less involved, but it will more than likely just present new challenges for everyone to adapt to. I can't wait!
What exactly is the "Windows Center"? I'll take a quick look here at VC to see if it's listed after I get done with this post. You mentioned those pictures or backgrounds at Deviant. Are those just prints or parts of theming? That glowing one of the bridge was pretty cool. I noticed it was for sale. Are all of them for purchase? I'll give them a better look today. Will the code in Windows 8 be totally different from 7's. I know I ask a lot of questions for a solid guy! :cool2: Won't know if I don't ask. Take it easy.
No, they are all desktop backgrounds for everyone to enjoy. The for sale thing is Deviantart deal.. You can get an actual print to put on you wall at home if you want.. They do prints, ones that look like paintings and stuff like that.. I do get a little cut if they sell one though. All of them are free desktop backgrounds that you can use on your desktop..
I take or find really good photos and then use them as the base for what I do to turn them into what you see. I work with Photoshop to create them, most are many layers of work to get them to what you see.
https://www.thewindowscenter.com/ is a Windows and beta tech site that I run where you can get the latest info on Windows and stuff that windows has in beta currently. We are currently working with the Windows 8 beta atm and do what we can to bring you all the latest info on it. We are waiting with great anticipation for the official beta to kick off in about a month. I beta test software, create and mod software, stuff like that. Have my name in the credits of a game even for outstanding tech help during the Shattered Horizon closed beta.. One of my favorite awards to be honest..
You ought to pat yourself on the back for those accomplishments. I think you do outstanding work and the help you provide for us guys that tend to get lost here and there is definitely a bonus. I learned on Vista about 5 years ago and I feel like I've come miles on this stuff until of course I get lost on a mod and I need help from someone like you or Grim and HTP and the list goes on and then I know I really haven't come that far at all, but to me it's a step in the right direction and I feel good about it. It's remembering a lot of this stuff that gets to be a chore. I love it though! Good luck with 8. I'll be around following the hype and mods that you guys do. I'll be giving the Windows Center Link a look later today. Thanx JW!
I went to the Windows link you sent and took a look at the 8 log on screens you posted. Looks like a Vista background with the alien and user squares on it. I don't know about the Jester dude they threw on that. Bill Gates growing up!
