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.

mommatee.. glad you like it so far ..

For buttons, I call them Captions and Yup .. I can certainly make them a bit darker ... as I said in my last post I have only had the WB for a few hours .... hehe !!

What you see there is , if you will , my 'STARTING TEMPLATE' ..It is from this that I will start all my tweaking and twisting ... I always put a lot more of the WB graphics in too ... the fun starts then .. .. The clockface that is there is just telling me the time , as it will be changed soon !
~ and as I only use Paintnet it can get a little tricky pulling those tgas and layers in , for sure... not forgetting the clockfaces from Harleys ' DX theme .. I like to give Sidebar users a choice of clockfaces if possible ...

So don't worry ... in this case WYSIWY Don't get !!!

( and on that note I will say my goodnights to you all as it is 04.25 am here , and I am sorta dissolving into my keyboard here ... see you all soon !! ) Off to my pit !! Later ,folks !!

A balloon could be one alternative?

Everything uploaded can be found by searching for "birthday" in teh gallery. I posted a link yesterday to the WB source images too.  Beyond that I'm not sure what else I can do.

And the Xion skin V3 is here. :D Any ideas? This will have more stuff added in V3.1 and so on.
Reply #815 from WinCustomize Forums Top
Alibear  that is SOO much better!  Congratulations on your success thus far.  I look forward to v3.1, I'm sure everything will look much more integrated as you go forward.

SMALL VERSION...

(Has a shadow, but it is not visible in this image because it's black.)

And, V3.2 WILL have visualisations if users get the PC version of Xion (it comes with the required plugin)!

Whadda ya think?

The stop button on the big version is  . . odd looking.
But overall, it is much more consistent with the theme and with itself.  Great work.
Is the bar in the middle track position or volume?  It still seems out of place.  What do you think of a balloon instead of the plain circle?
Reply #823 from WinCustomize Forums Top
It's the track pos. I'll change it for a balloon. Gotta go, I've got a family meal... :NOTSURE:
