Sorry to interrupt, ups where are my manners- first off nice first blinds i like it it looks sharp and clean to me impressive for a first and as long as your happy with the outcome it doesnt matter what others say...advice is always something you can take with you and use it on the next run ^^
Since i also work on my first blinds i would like to have some advice before i finish spending hours over hours and end up re-doing everything.
First of i would like to know dimensions of an Windows7 WB startmenü what is max and what is average size since i only found the 390x400 size for windows but that seems to be for XP .I want to do a blinds with XP and 7 support im thinking about vista still since i hated vista very much 
short look over the cold shoulder 
Then i would like to have some words from our advanced WB makers do you actually make the work in photoshop twice the average size and scale it down to increase sharpness and detail ? I mostly only work with ZBrush and thats the way how to improve detail there.Thanks in advance
Im on holidays atm so i have time to finally start a blinds i had this idea for some time but never found the time.
Already have a concept sketched out on a piece of paper lol yeah im lazy, its easier to remind some things this way and quicker...
So im ready to go i think all i need is the final advice and i start.

I'm excited to see the finished product also, I'm not a skinner but I know beautiful things, this has those qualities, congrats on your first and thanks for making a XP version
I'm still using mine for now hopefully something comes through so I can upgrade.

I would suggest drawing everything the size you desire it to be, I don't see any reason to double size then shrink.
At least not for WB graphics.
You may want to start another thread for this.

Something tells me 'life' has gotten in the way of Heigar being able to finish this.

Hi Heigar...
I will definitely be downloading this blind as soon as you get it finished. I can't wait until it is done... but like Boxxi had said... don't rush your work on it and end up ruining it just so people can download it. You will know when it's done and ready to be downloaded. Before I saw the headline saying that this was your first blind... I actually thought that this was going to end up being a Masterblind. I think it is going to end up being that good. Keep working on it Heigar.
