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

Happy Birthday!!

https://forums.wincustomize.com/?aid=174881
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.

alibear123 I think you want to try to match the WindowBlind not the icons if you think the Frame.png is too big can you not re-size it to the size you require.

It was my way of saying it was a great colour ... Joke backfired there, methinks !! ;p

Sorry Guys!
Zu reminded me I've been slacking off on this thing. I'll be working between now and Friday to put together some preliminaries and will finish the Sysmetrix & RC skins over the weekend.
Reply #787 from WinCustomize Forums Top
No , .. I am afraid I haven't ,Zubaz .. I wouldn't even know how to do that .. I only use paint net to get to the graphics of each skin .. and I haven't even done that yet ..

If it appears ok to you ... then is it possible that you have the correct fonts installed already in your font folder ... ? Weird ...

( I have to go offline for a little while ... Family Visitors .. gahhhhhh !!  X-(  X-(  X-(  )

See you later .. ( sorry about that ..)

Ok, I'm starting work on the V3 using theAVMAN's images. Please could I have a play button and a repeat button, plus a smaller version of Frame.png, preferably at X 220 and Y 440. If I need anything else, I'll just ask.

There are a number of good arrows in the WB skin.  Have you looked at those?

I don't know elements but most apps will allow you to resize images.  (or is the problem gettin the dimensions to match what you want?)

Font PAINTST_ in the Birthday Blind as soon as I put that into my Windows Font Folder it changed the font on the Sunny Day blind so seems to be a problem there with that font.

Took the font out of the blind folder and then applied the blind looks like your Picture In#785

windows classic still wrong colour

I'll try resizing the Frame.png, but I'm worried about stretching the arrows in the WB ass they are not big enough. I'll give it a go. Maybe I could just use a > in big text.

Nice work, Mike!!

Can I make one tiny suggestion? The purple of the buttons (i.e. Winsford, FlipClock, Taiwan, etc.) needs to be a bit darker and less pink, in my opinion.
