Going back to my roots...

So, anyhow, been thinking, 10 years worth of skinning behind me, and yes, I'm planning on finishing my gaming skin in the other thread, but what do I really need to celebrate 10 years?

Oh, wait, I know, lets go back to where it all began.......cheesecake skins...

So, in a fit of bordeom this lunch hour I started to play.......

Attached is about 50 minutes tinkering, I've hidden the modesty of the lovely lady until she's ready , but those familiar with the back catalogue will probably know who it is...

Ho hum... now, should I turn to this other skin I have sitting here called... 'cherry red'.....

And there was me thinking you'd come here specially for me hehe

(Search results say othewise however)..

New skin, dunno, juggling a few in the air at this minute, tending to work on one for a day, then move onto a different one.

It's like the old days of juggling half a dozen different designs at the same time...

Oh, I guess you mistakenly posted in the wrong forum. I can move the thread for you to a nice, cozy, friendly forum with a nice ambiance instead, if you want.

Jones does not need THAT kind of support.....

I, however, need all the support you can give me.

She always had. These kind of girls are also known as 'Bagged Girls', girls you only would fuck, if they wear a bag on their head.

Well done, Jones. The skin looks good.

I've 'known' a few bag girls in my time, least they should have had bag on the morning after...

Anyhooooo

This is almost done, just slightly stuck on my PL stacks, know what I want to do, just not finding motivation to do it, that and cursors, the dreaded cursors.... starting to think I should just trot out my default set of skin cursorts, colour them up and bung them in, as I have done on so many skins in the past, but feel I should go the extra yard and do something specific for this skin......

What to do, what to do.....

Is it "Legal" or whatever to make a "Benis" cursor? That way you guys could have fun poking at her.
I think what I said was just wrong...

Otherwise incomp1337, sir. Certainly wouldn't be pondering that ... no, no.

Easy Tiger.......


Hmmmmmrph....well, this has been finished now for over a week and it's been used heavily in the Jones house, but ... there is always a but..... I'm not happy with something on it,so..... going to have a little play to see if I can change something minor in the design without having to redo the entire main window from scratch....

On top of that,not at all happy with the cuttlebar , toying with removing it totally, I mean, who uses it?

/stands by for endless list of people telling they can't live without it....

So, I forked the skin and made the mini changes I wanted, in my mind it works a little better than the original design now, so nearly happy!

Still pondering on the pl stacks, happy with what I've got, but not totally happy, still time to tweak..

I've decided in my head that whatever happens, I shall release this skin on the 9th of this month, somehow that date feels significant and that I should be doing something X rated on the 9th.......

For now, a new screen!


/double click for a decent image, crappy scaling...

Took me ages to figure out what you changed. I do think all the changes are good, though

haha, yeah, like I said, minor changes..

Was never happy with the clutterbar, just looked 'uneven', so that was always going to be changed, the other minor change, well, noticed it because I'd done something similar on all the other windows, but on the main I'd done things slightly different.

The change impacts on the window openers / closers, especially in winshade, but it's very very minor, did toy with larger buttons on there to cover up the colour difference, but they looked out of place, plus they looked even more out of place on the other windows when carried over.


/and I re-did the pl stacks last night, see if I'm happy with these now.....
