I think we should do 2-3 substyles that are noticeably different from the main style, i.e different caption buttons, caption bars, scrollbars, etc. Maybe do the main substyle, then a super-usable substyle, etc.

I'd be down to do some graphics for the Litestep or work on one of the XP visual styles.

hey nitzua...

you're might interested on a collab for the xp VS?

Sure, maybe we could each throw together a concept and see what we come up with? I'll probably do something along the lines of a hyper-usable style.

How about this?  More of a modern/retro blend.  Old school meets new.

Thanks josh, I'll get to work on it!

Is the plan to have the PF suite be only light, or is there any interest in making light/dark versions?

I want to do a refined version of this visual style:

Possibly using the caption buttons and scrollbars from jg's mock, just to tie everything together? I'll play around with what I have now and try to tweak some things, but does anyone have any ideas when they think about combining the vs from the mock-up and the noxio.us vs?

I think anything combined from you two would probably be very sexy, so I'm sure that would be fine.

Sexy Nitz.  Busy back with work again but hope to have some time this weekend to do some more.  Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. i.e. font choices, color variations, etc.

I was thinking of sprinkling in some orange or red accents to the vs in the shot.

I will say that I really dig jg's concepts. I wouldn't mind toying with it if you have a mockup in .psd form.

@Scott Thanks mate, the mockup is a mess as far as the .psd is concerned.  I'll try to come up with something proper along with the tabs, buttons, checkboxes, etc. (the inner workings) by the weekend and I'll post back here, if you have any thoughts to add give me a shout.  Really swamped with work atm but thanks so far for the encouragement.  The icons generally slow me down as each one is hand drawn according to size.  So hopefully this gives people time to jump on board and contribute thoughts, ideas, content for the suite.

I'll keep posting with progress.  If anyone's willing to take on different parts I'll do what I can to collab and provide what is needed.

My only suggestion/request in regards to jg's mockups would be to at least offer a substyle in which the caption buttons are part of the caption bar, rather than being off set. I do absolutely love the color scheme, though.

agreed. we could do a version based around the concepts i discussed perhaps?

@antimatter, yeah that would be no problem to do a second style based on your suggestion.  Just a simple edit in fact.

Cool to have you on board sang, a bb skin would be great!

Alrighty a little screenie to show some actual progress.  I'll start uploading some resources and such for people to play with once I complete a little more & get some time.  Sorry weekends almost up and I have much else to do.  Thanks for the feature Christian, much appreciated.
I've had some more people coming on board as well.  Once I get some time we should try and get a list going of who's available for what. Cheers guys.

Still haven't finalized on font choices either.  I think one regular plus a pixel font substyle would seem fitting.

@novoo, yeah those are some of my favs as well.  I'm on board for that for sure.

Yeah I'd like to finish up the original white version as well.  Once I have time to complete it I'll post all the images used for the VS, some will incorporate into xp others will need some work.  I think Torsten has intentions to do the xp style.  If you want to split the workload with him on the substyles I'll let him respond.
