Suggestions for 2014 WC Community Project

from WinCustomize Forums

The last community skin we did was the Holiday Community Suite back in 2009.  I wouldn't mind doing another winter holiday suite, but that's for later in the year.

https://forums.wincustomize.com/363398/

So lets start getting ideas for the next community suite.  Do we go for a season like Spring or Summer?  Another holiday?  A different type of theme?

Lets hear it and discuss it and get moving on the next one.

I didn't get into everything in the ini file only the things that were really important and will allow one to complete a Rainy.

Ross I wouldn't think yet. I know Brian is making another Rainy, I believe. Hoping Tim is making some docks. Hoping Jim's problem isn't to serious as he has a great looking winstep. Just my thought as there is no rush as far as I'm concerned. Don't worry I will use your smx whenever that is. lol.

I will echo what teddybearcholla said, each skinner will take a different look or approach of how the may make a particular skin.  What this means is the community gets to see how you can use the provided graphics and still be unique.   :sun:

That's why the more the merrier. C'mon DT...do your stuff!

Reply #363 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Uvah, have a question on Rainlendar, which version do I need to run it?  I'm using v2.11 Lite and it's not looking right, Sat and Sun dates look like both over reqular, seeing a double image.  Question on SysMetrix, what do all the little buttons do or am I just supposed to press each one?  Oh, I'm on Windows 7.

This thread is moving fast and I'm behind.  Is there any skins needed that doesn't have someone doing it?

 

Reply #366 from WinCustomize Forums Top

You'll need version 0.21. I don't do the newer one because its such a pain in the rear. As for the buttons, I usually include six as standard, web browser, control panel, etc. There are also six that are for external programs like ASC, MalwareBytes, Photoshop and the like. The four next to where it says HTML are for the color charts included with the skin. The red one calls up Xion and the ones next to it are for the media player.

Okay Uvah, I have both 0.21. and the newest version and the dates for the weekend (Sat & Sun) running on the older versions looks the same.  I will do a SS and add it here.

anyone have any requests or suggestions for some additional app icons.....so far I have a Winamp & windows media player completed. I'm now working on a VLC media player and a few other app icons as well. There may be many that I have not thought of , so some feed back would probably help me immensely.

c'mon DT... the finish line is in sight....   ;)

my critique was to help ya.. not have you drop it...

I like the idea of the tan/orange idea for the centre as a change.....if you need help with the colour picking from the taskbar button... I'll take a range and put up here for you to choose from...

 

Edit... like so...  ;)     (could be good colours for the transparent one also..)
