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.

theAVMAN, thanks for taking the feedback in the spirit it's intended.  I could never do what you do or as well as you do it.  Thnaks again.

By the way, I would still like to do the Xion skin! And, zubaz, it seems that what you envisioned is possible after all! Keep up the good work, guys!

They don't make *me* feel more or less pretty but I like seeing them progress.  ;)

You know what Bob Ross would say?  "It's your world, be happy."   :p

Thanks for the clocks , Harley .. timed to perfection hehe ! ..

Ok folks here comes the 2nd preview ... and almost ready to go ..

This time , Captions Closed and Open can be seen , the News Alert panel , and the Weather Panel ..

There is also a Double Border , for extra definition , which reverses on the Left Sided Sidebar ...

Stack Panels have a 'Glassy' style , The closed ones are slightly darker ...

Start Panel .. 3 states .. Normal , hover, pressed .. Pressed inverts the balloons . Hover 'mirrors' the balloons ...

Avmans' clocks are in the skin folder , as well as the 2 tweaked by me (which you can see ) ,
So Sidebar users have a good choice of clocks to pass the time away !!!

Anyway .. check it out .. & here it is ..

Ideas I never would've had without seeing your original graphics and Zubaz' suggestions.

Xion update: Added progress forward/back buttons. Anything else I should add or change?

BRAINWAVE!!! I know a program with which you can create your own fonts... Maybe we could use that here!

Can you post some pics before you upload?
Reply #970 from WinCustomize Forums Top
I'm not uploading yet, it's not a big enough update, and, as Zubaz said, there's no point yet.

That's not what 2of3 asked for he asked to see a picture of it here that's what we do hence all the pictures in the thread. One thing you could do as well is re enable the ability to delete your skin in Xion by using right click on the skin and delete, all my other skins allow this yours I had to go to program files to delete.


Sidebar looks good Mike.

Ok, I'll post a pic. To delete the skin: Right-Click, Choose Skin, All Skins Tab, Right-Click on HBS XION [Version Number] (2), Delete skin. If that doesn't work, there must be something wrong with it on your computer, as it works on mine.

It did not all other skins do. no big deal Look forward to see update picture.

Please imagine a shadow on all of my previews, as my desktop background is black and so the BLACK shadow doesn't show up.
