Lumi, a first previewHey ! :]
So I've made some new changes on Lumi, my future Visual Style for Windows 7. It will continue to change in some details, and it's certainly not over yet, different parts are still the one from Soft7.
Anyway here's the actual result :

White isn't it ? ^^
My main ideas were :
more "minimal", less transparent, and add a tiny color.
The window on top left is active, the others are inactive (mainly a difference in the shadow, but the windows themselves are a bit more transparent).
The "Yes" button is hovered, like the Music icons. The DVD drive is selected
I believe the caption buttons are too subtle right now, and I'm still trying to do a nice hover effect, subtle but visible.
It includes the new icons on the Navigation Pane, obviously based on the icons in Mac OS Lion, entirely made from scratch (all of them) with the subtle blue of the theme.

By the way, don't get it wrong, I hardly have time to play all t

New Apple Keyboardby *SpewBoy

Digital Art / Vector / Conceptual

Apple's new wireless keyboard. It will be released on the same date as the upcoming Mac OS X 10.7 operating system.

Hmm, I'm no good at lieing. This here is what I wish my Apple keyboard looked like. I just can't understand why they chose white keys instead of black ones.

Took around 280 layers and 5 hours in Photoshop (manually modified each key's symbol to match up exactly with the white keyboard). Everything is vector except the reflection at the bottom (couldn't be bothered copying and pasting another 275 layers just for a reflection - too much RAM is at stake

), and the noise is also just generated by the filter. My PC is not powerful enough to make vector noise, which is just lots of randomly placed circles. I tried doing that and it froze up after I covered half the keyboard. Maybe I should have used Illustrator, but then I don't know how to use it.

A note to anyone out there: If you have an Apple wireless keyboard or an Apple keyboard with no numpad, please take a key off and show me what the key slot looks like. I'm going to see if a set of MacBook Pro keys fits in there but I don't know if they have the same slots
