Seriouesly, You’ve got to do a screen-cast on how you made these from scratch.
This is amazingly good by my design standerds and allthough I’m not a designer I believe every developer using silverlight has to understand this stuff. Otherwise making pretty XAML is just black mojo.
Some screen-casts would be great
Thats the point of blend so that xaml for developers is done in studio and looks grey and boxy and the all the cool mojo is done by the designers.
Us developers are born to suck at design.
you guys are too kind.. im honestly just an ordinary developer that has an ordinary eye for graphics. Anyone can do these types of designs..
I’ll do a screen cast to show people how easy it is to do these designs from scratch. Give me a day or two and they’ll be up !
Spectacular! I love the orange box! Reminds me of a real object I had as a kid. I used to stare at it for hours, it was made of the strangest plastic material. I’ve never found anything like it since.
Can you talk about how to resize the Speedometer twins? Blend 2 September preview is supposed to support scaling multiple elements but I can’t get either speedodometer to resize all of its elements together. Great objects!
When I open the Banner.sln within BLEND2
I keep getting the following error
The Name Canvas does not exist in the namespace
Can you help me as i’m trying to create a menu bar for my own project
You are awesome! Please do some tutorials.
