Updating the biggest suite ever made : Heavy Equipment
common !!!!
Monday, November 27, 2006 by neophil78 | Discussion: OS Customization
Yep everyone, Skinning is (for me, and probably for the much part of you) firstly a question of sharing.
Once upon a time and before (i think
) WinCustomize was created, probably the biggest suite ever made was done, over which, a lot of talented skinners have bring their time and feelings ... i'm talking about HEAVY EQUIPMENT stuff.
Apart that i love this suite, i think it would be a great thing, that to increase this spirit of sharing, once again those who would want to, would be OK to update skins to latest softwares versions.
Here's the "main" element (i mean WindowBlinds) https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=1260&LibID=1 but you can also still find
- Iconpackage https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=637&LibID=2
- One Screenshot https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=653&LibID=13 shawing a great part of the suite
- A version of Suite itself https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=101&LibID=22
- A pack of Wallpapers https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=24&LibID=8
- A Winamp https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=17&LibID=10
And probably founding others software skins by searching better ...
As far as i'm concerned, i should be OK to bring up updates to a fiew apps but not for all, and also not for the coordination of it ...
Anyone to build up this project ?

Yep I found the WA skin first and commented there. You have my permission though none is needed 
While Im chatting with you.. what brought me to WC tonight is Sysmetrix which I noticed you have skinned alot. Please do some HE skin for it as well if you feel so inclined.
Thanks for your contributions to the HE suite.

Thanks to everyone who's up for this! I've been trying the older, original themes on the apps I have, and WB seems to work o.k., icons work, what there are of them, haven't tried the cursor, as it's several versions ago. DLed Desktop X but don't think I'll even run it as I'm not sure if it'll play nice. WinAmp rocks! Using Wallpaper, WinAmp, icons, and alternating WBs with Battlefield and its walls, Sport Nou cursor does an admirable and somewhat fun job also...recolored it just a tad to try and match HE wall #1.
Would love to see the original Pixtudio theme shaken out and dusted off, as well as Universe Metal, and a number of the other, more extensive originals. They're what pulled me in at first, c.2001-2002.
Thanks, neophil. It'll happen, it'll happen. Edit feature seems to go on and off now and then as a matter of course, just like our rural power around here. Gotta roll with it.
Snowman, I'm speechless(almost...) with gratitude.
Mike's comment, #16, is very to=the-point. Lots of those apps I used to use aren't around or used now: Hoverdesk, etc.
The original DX looks so tempting I might just try to run it anyways to see if it works...

Crumbut, my faux pas. Thank You! Apologies for posting before proofreading. Yes, a sysmetrix for sure. Somehow, sysmetrix won't run the Net part, In and Out, if I'm signed in as other than Guest. A DX meter for net In and Net Out would rock.
Tycus! Way to go!

Six years ago, eerily almost to the day, when I first met with Brad preliminary to joining Stardock, this was the skin the that he showed me. HE, I mean. (Larry Kuperman wipes a tear from his eye.)
Thank you all for the thought and the effort and bless the Skinners.

Scribe Larry, great to see you checking in!
Note: Ran DX a couple of hours, rebooted it, played around... lots of stunning ingredients, but had to rearrange it for my 1280 X 1024. [hint, hint: Object for Net In and Net Out would be forever thankful for...]
