That's...extremely ugly. Way too bright, way too...well, ugly. There's not better word for it really.

 

[Liberation]

hehehe thanks =), the only reason i made it really bright, is because my game has a dark and tense game theme, so i figured if a funny looking bright frame came along, you would laugh =)

 

[Grathea]

To be honest, I wouldn't laugh.
I'd wince in pain, then close the game.
My eyes are funny like that.

 

[Liberation]

hmm..not quite the reply's i had hoped for =), but then again, thats the risk you take =), any suggestions on how i could improve this? or a better template maybe?

I'd say scrap it all together, it's hard as hell, if not impossible, to make neon work in RMXP/VX.

I'm inclined to agree with the two dudes above me.

The ideal windowskin is functional -- it should be stationery for your words to appear on.  It shouldn't distract (or hurt) the eye too much. The contrast between the edges and the bright background are very rough to look at, and will definitely distract from the text.

 

[Grathea]

Well, take a look at other good windowskins out there.
A few tips I'd give, though.
Try to tone down and generally subdue the color choices of your windowskins.
Try to reduce it to bichromatism. i.e. have a main color, and then another color used as an accent. That seems to work really well.
Finally, you could try actually spriting the base of it first rather than going wild and then hitting the transform function a few times.

 

[Liberation]

well..actually..i was thinking of making a script enabling me to reformat the entire thing all together..making different shapes..like a swirl goes around the bar, or sumthin..

That hurts my eyes. A dark window theme would really compliment the game, the border to that is too... whats the word for it?

Distracting perhaps.

Make it a lot more toned. Look in the resources thread under color palettes.

You don't NEED scripts to make cool skins, you can use paint.

 

[Samboy]

Its fucking disgusting. I hope this is your idea of a joke.

 

[TheAmateurAnimator]

To be honest, it looks as if Jackson Pollock threw up on it. I'm sure there's a good way to do stylish-looking neon, but this is not it.

 

[Liberation]

ok, thank you for the comments, i have started on a new one, and are done commenting. thank you.

 

[Toshi]

I like it in one way.
Had something bad ass dark style...
I like such cybergothicdarkness stuff...

*self a goth*

 

[Star]

Hey. hey hey. I actually like it.  Well, except for the green.  Everything else is cool.  The background and I like how the selector looks.  Man...  got some tough critics in here.  I guess your going to say my tastes are bad too

 

[Liberation]

nobody's tastes are "bad" its all opinion =) (truthfully, i thought it was ugly too lolz)

 

[Rare]
