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.

This coming storm is playing havoc with my internet. So far it has gone out a half dozen times. I'm not liking this winter too too much. X|

Did not catch that RND, too late just posted and wow what a struggle, like Ross said above I guess.

Made one additional Rainy for the left side , just reversed frames, without the weekday dot and square. In case some want plain. Hope you enjoy, I enjoyed the experience and the opportunity to expand my skills a little.

 

WC, thanks.

The project seems to be moving along very well with good looking skins.  It even looks like there will be several variations of Rainlendar skins, cool. 

If anyone needs skins tested, I know kind of late, I am available to test on Win 7.  I'm sure everyone is working hard so it would be a shame if a skin is uploaded the may have bugs or doesn't work correctly.

From what I can see there really isn't any need to rush and upload skins base upon a set time frame or did I miss something.

No rush Philly, you are correct.

Skin site is not going anywhere, I was just anxious and ready , Dave checked me over. Hope more skins come!

If I did make any mistakes, BLAME DAVE BAXTER, no, just let me know. Thanks Dave for allowing me to pick.

Quoting sydneysiders, reply 427is it a piece of coding that could be added?

no there isn't.

End of DaveBax's quote

 

yes, there is.

the key would be using variables and gradients when creating the skin. Rainlendar's "new" (just about 8 years) skin format offers everything that is necessary. if you would want a color picker gui instead of being limited to pre-defined variables, you could create that in Rainlendar itself, but i'd personally would use a third party app for that, the api is powerful enough for that.

Hi moshi, from things I have seen you answer I would never doubt what you say. However the skins we make are using the ini format not the newer format. This can be done using the ini format?

End of RedneckDude's quote

I am using the latest version. however the ini format was all you could make a skin in. Now all the new ones are in .xml format and after you get everything done you convert it to a r2skin format to upload. Takes a lot to learn this. But the ;latest version still allows you to make it the way we do. The reason I asked moshi is because I know you can do it if you are making it in the new format but not with an ini file.

Ah, well, I know nothing of XML.  X|

Perfect match. Now you can make any color you wish as it only took me three minutes to do it all.
End of DaveBax's quote
