The spinner glyphs I'm ok with, but the spinner buttons?? I can never get them to look right unless I mkae just a square box...but that's just me and my lack of creativity I guess *s*

How many people actually use ICQ anymore? And how many who do use ICQ, how many use ICQplus to skin it still? I'm trying to clean out my skins list. I'm only leaving the stuff for apps people actually use now, and only the skins I plan to update sometime in the future. So I'd like to know what apps people are actually using now.
It's actually the shellstyle large images that randy couldn;t get to work till he increased the color depth...hehe at least, that's what he told me yesterday.
Ok, koasati and I were talking about little things in wb4 that seem to not want to skin sometimes, yet at other times work fine even though you've done the exact same thing in two different skins. Also, the images that supposedly must be 256colors in order to show up correctly, sometimes they don;t show up unless you increase the color depth to 16million colors. Other images that can be anything you want will only show up in 256colors. And, in one skin I am working on, I had to reduce
Why tech cat? We'd list them all *s*
nah, styl. They're just going to keep us guessing for the rest of our lives.
Thanks Moshi *s*
It seems I've lost my copy of XXcalc. I can't find a download for it anywhere on the net either. Does anyone know where I can get it? [Message Edited]
that's still the only way to keep it larger if you want to use small icons
If you increase the number of items in the programs list then it'll stay the larger size because it has to have room to fit all the programs on it.
Or you can use the "sort by" feature on the top of the page (by the search thing). Sort by date, rating, downloads, etc... by ascending or descending order. Of course, putting a randomizing option in the "order" setting would be good.
I think you can do that with nextstart... I'm not sure, I haven't used it in a while.
yeah, I kinda figured *s*
I've decided that it might be easier to just have everyone e-mail me what they want to skin. That way I don't have to go through all the profiles to find e-mail addy's to send everything to. [email protected] and for a general list of apps to skin, go to http://commskinproject3.tripod.com/ I'll start keeping a list of who is doing what on the web-site after each person e-mails me to confirm that you're actually going to do it.
/me begins to wonder why the person who started this thread isn't in here foolishly guessing like the rest of us! hehe
hehe....... brother and sister......
great guys! A67, how about a logon?
styl, what's the main part? If you mean the WB skin, it's mostly finished already. That's where the base images will come from.
hehe.... If I have to hear my daughter talk about sally tricking the old scientist one more time I'll scream! (It's her favorite movie) Chances are though, you won't find many people willing to do movie based themes. sorry to have to tell you that... [Message Edited]
hehe....ok...bankokboy is smarter than me......
Actually Styl (any anyone else interested) you can go to http://communityskin.deviantart.com/ to see what we all did the last two times. Of course, there are more apps put there now, and someof the old apps probably aren't being used anymore, but this'll give you an idea of how much there really is to skin out there.
I'm glad to see some people are interested. *s* Styl, there's really no need to worry about too few people and too many apps. It usually works out just right in the end. Have you ever been to http://www.skinbase.org ? They have a section for every skinnable app available. If you look at their skin section list you'll see there's plenty *s*. Also, the smaller freeware apps that are freeform skinnable can have two skins with the same base graphics that come out completely differ
judging by the way you two are "working together" on this I'd say husband and wife. A father would be too proud of his baby girl's work to keep people guessing. hehe
Ok, it's been a very long time since we all got together and did a community skin project. The two that we did were great. It brought us all together to work toward a common goal. Egos were put aside. We were all equal. For those of you who are too new to know what Community Skin was here is an explanation. Crumbut came up with the base design for both of the projects we all did together. Then he posted on the skinz.org message board for people to come and port the design to other apps
A while back I was going to do a skin based on the old 1920's and 1930's style radios with the big wooden cases and metal accents. For some reason i never quite got it right though. It'd be nice if someone else could do it though.
