Hello folks, have just got from the hospital and I just need to scream into the world how much happy I am. This photo was taken just 15 mins upon the birth. This is Mathew, born 2 hrs ago, weight 8.157 pounds, height 20.5 inches. His wife is doing great too. Gosh, this is amazing being a father again.
[quote who="c242" reply="32" id="3304631"]Tom: Didn't intend that mention as showstopper at any means. Sooner or later the pipe idea will pop up every few years. Sountox itself was heavily inspired by "Thredz" for example. + Your graphic skills and possibilities are much better than ours in 2001 (Actually the only thing I am still proud of is the animated iris, that noone did at any time). I will follow this skin closely and enjoy the outcome. [/quote] My friend, I
[quote who="c242" reply="29" id="3304613"]Reminds me of the 2004 Sountox a lot.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="27" id="3304504"]Tom... Actually, the more I think about it, maybe making those tubes look "Organic" - like vines is a really good angle... like "Organic Construct"... maybe having them branch out and wrap around the tubing in the non stretching/non tiling parts of the start menu? Could look really cool...[/quote] Seth, a pic is badly needed. At this point I am not sure if there is a match on having a metal skin with organic e
[quote who="neone6" reply="19" id="3304343"]Teknofresh. [/quote] Thanks Andy. I will need to speak to you concerning the start button. Once having a sketch about that I will send you an email with details. Perhaps you just might get thru it by telling me if you like it or not or if some animation would be meaningful. Will let you know soon. Hope you do not mind, mate.
[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="18" id="3304341"]One thing... might not be possible, but perhaps a substyle where disabling the user picture won't leave the top pipes open and just hanging in space... Also... perhaps "connector plates" for where the tubes connect to the frames.... ? Might look better? Possibly not?

[quote who="DaveBax" reply="14" id="3304336"] Quoting TomRichter, reply 12Dave I will make up something for you for sure. Not this one but something you may like. But give me some time, please.

I wanna do a couple of animated stuff on it too, but I´d better speak to Andy aka Neone6 as he is a real deal about SMENU and Sbutton animations. I would be glad for any helping hand on this and will try to keep you updated.

[quote who="Uvah" reply="1" id="3304233"]Shades of I.R. Brainiac! A variation on a theme! That's what it reminds me of. Now if I could only remember the name of the skin....I'm so bad. Waiting to see more! [/quote] Mate, you are really flattering me when mentioning I.R. Brainiac.
This being a very fresh startmenu look of my first master skin. On Woodoku I was happy to play with wooden stuff. Now I am trying to play a bit with metallic one. I understand this is not too much for you to get any concrete picture, but I would like to share my first steps with you to see what you think about it. Not sure how m

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="59" id="3301862"]One of , if not the best "wooden" bunch of skins since Aero Executive. I always had trouble finding icons close in color to the WB though. (hint, hint)[/quote] I will try to convince Kitty, but really not sure how busy is she these day, Wiz.
