Skinners, Artists, Coders, and Testers Needed: Community Suite

Happy Birthday!!

from WinCustomize Forums

After the success on the Troll Thumping Day Suite some members of the Mother Thumpers are coming together to create the "Happy Birthday Suit(e)".

I envision this suite centered around a DX gadget that counts down to your birthday. On your birthday the gadget will prompt you to download the most recent incarnation of the suite components so for your special day, your desktop will celebrate with you.

At this point we have some components assigned to artists but this is a collaborative project and welcome input and assistance from everyone. Please jump in and help out if you'd like.

Dude!  Wow!
  • Please wait is in place
  • Startmenu is wonderful (love the animated Winky)
  • Start button is there
  • 2nd and 3rd bullet still stand, but that's just one man's opinion.
  • Taskbar is wonderful
Thank you!

I thought you will do some ballon. I think a ballon cursor will go very nice with the suite but you will need to spend some time to make it very usable.

yeah a balloon typo take too much time ....

and also will create problems making animationz .....

I think AV has done some nice animations of ballons you can use them or you can just rotate the ballon firstly right and then left so that it looks kinda shaky. It will not take much time. I am just giving you an idea.
Reply #686 from WinCustomize Forums Top
okay here is the modified style ..... now working on animations ...

Reply #687 from WinCustomize Forums Top
sAARge, I like what you have done but I'm not sure it fits the theme.  Can you keep this for anther set and try something else?  What about a candle?

# The upper right window frame is very white. Seems a bit harsh for me
# Some small shadow along the top and left might be useful

Seabass might be able to help.  he just released a cursor set through Stardock Designs.  I bought it with the ODNT discount for 3.99US.  A great purchase.

The inactive window trans may be too high. With stacked windows it gets very hard for me to get teh right one.
