Troll Thumping Day Suite anyone?

Those of you who are new might not be aware of a unique WC holiday: Troll Thumping Day!

Is anyone interested in expanding the work Po' Smedley has done into a full Suite?

Po looks awsome man send me some more psds and I will stay on it.Question can you easily resize without distortion because normally the height of the start menu should not be much over half your screen height.

If you can watch the video above you can see what size it comes out !

Don't be so quick to say that....he's the perfect....er, clubbing fodder on which to practice for the great day.

Oh yeah, Po`& Co....wow, this is shaping up to be the most absolute best skin, that set of start panels is better than sensational....exquisite, more like it. If they're anything to go by, then this suite will be the closest thing to skin heaven without actually going there.

The video looks awesome. Is it cool to put it on YouTube for the Troll to see?

I think I can resize with very little distortion. The resolution I am doing it in is pretty high, just for such cases.

Question...

The torches...I layered the 'swirl designs' so you have one in front of the handle and one behind. Can You Put the flame 'between' them?

It's a little distorted (width) but that is YOUTUBE, not the video.

I'll send you a png for the wood texture so it all matches up. Looks good.

I like the idea of using the Thumper. I think we need a new one though.

Bichur...uh..uh...dang it..can't say it with an 8 year old in the room.

Okay...I CAN resize it..BUT...This is a shot showing the standard start window...which is pretty freakin big.



I know I have seen people complain about 'oversized' start windows and such. Do we want this at what is considered 'acceptable'..or go a little big?

btw- the taskbar in the shot sucks. I'm thinking a floating one with a shield for the start button.

edit- What is a good place to send big files for sharing?..I know i saw an article around here somewhere but I can't find it. Some of the psd's will probably be more trouble than they are worth trying to email. Does anyone else have Picasa to share files?

My two cents about the graphics available for review so far: Too much glass on the wood.  I don't know about you but wood in my house doesn't have teh reflections that I'm seeing here.  I know that we're not going for realism . . but the 'glass' refraction thing seems out of place on the shield with teh troll on in and in the first draft of the account banner (reply 156, gone in reply 188 [except for on the shield])

I see your point. It's tough. Without the glass...it seems so flat..no depth. I have seen the glass on some wood (graphics) stuff recently. It reminded me of the kind of stuff you might see in a cabin...okay, and one of those roadside souvenir stands in the mountains..where they put 10 coats og lacquer or decoupage on it.

What say ye', skinners?

Are you having another bout of Thumper Envy?

PO' for what it's worth...

When I was younger we had a summer home in North Carolina that had hardwood floors...they were glossy...looked like they had a sheet of glass on top of them....
