Sunday, November 18, 2007 by ZubaZ | Discussion: Community

Is anyone interested in expanding the work Po' Smedley has done into a full Suite?

To everyone working on this tremendous project, words cannot describe how impressed and in awe I am of the work you guys are doing/have done, so how about a few to show my appreciation and gratitude for all you're doing here.

Hey there,starkers ... I think it is probably I who should thank everyone for giving me the impetus to work with .psd files in paint.net....It is not summat I would usually do on the Sidebar side ... I have learnt so much off these people .. Long may it continue !!

Anyway ...Here is what I think is the final version of the EMERALD FLAME SIDEBAR ...

..for a bit of fun, I have widenened the border... this gives the DS'er and option to widen it even more or make it narrower ..

I have also put in the original troll pic , which , I think brings it all ' to life' ..
The skin folder will have the Black Dragon clockface in there, as well as a normal black clockface for those who prefer to use that ...

Anyway .. see what you all think ...here ya' go !!

Everything's looking great!   

I want to apologize for not being ready with my Sysmetrix. I drove the family up to Maryland to see my grandmother just before X-Mas and came back with the pnemonia. Finally got outta bed on New Years day and I'm feeling semi normal today so I'll be getting back on it. Hope to have something completed by Sunday.

I thought we had agreed that if you weren't at least bleeding from the eyeballs it was work, work, work?

Glad you are feeling better, Lantec.

Okay, I haven't had to make buttons this small before. So, I am learning here. This is what I have so far (design/theme as it were). I want honest feedback. If we don't like them, I open to suggestions, or if someone has been working on them or wants to let us know.

I know it's awfully late to be saying anything . . but the transition from skin to window (for example near the word "file" on the menu bar) seems very abrupt. . . or is that just crazy ol' Zubaz?


Harley and I are discussing this. What post# are you looking at?

In the image pack for the frames, I did enclose the 'file' bar , which is gold...and a button bar to match each style. I'm not seeing any screenshots in the thread that shows them yet. I'm at work, so I don't have what I need to throw up a screenshot, but I will when I get home.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** I am VERY open to any suggestions or if someone else wants to make a specific part of the skin. I'm just throwing out stuff. Just because I put it out there doesn't mean it's what we have to go with. This is a community effort and I really like the team spirit that's going on here.

Is the wood grain the same for all the buttons in the bottome two rows?  I've never seen trees with such similar grains.    It jumped out at me.

Love the top row of buttons though.

467, 494.  I'll wait to see the "file" bar in action.  Right now the transition is too sharp on the shots posted.

Something else is gonna be jumping out at you real freakin' soon, you anal-retentive dweeb.

The tree's were clones.
It's republican wood. No matter how you slice it, it's all the same.
I got them at Walmart.
Peg Leg! Peg leg!
It's a subliminal tactic to confound the Troll's.
They all came from Pinochio's half brother...Zubazio.

It's just like the old Yiddish Proverb...
“One chops the wood, the other does the grunting.”

but he's got a point in regards to the visual aspect of it

it's not quite the same as with other 'solid' buttons due to the pattern

the eye starts to see the pattern more than the buttons

maybe if you 'cut' some pieces from something like the topmost panel in #511?

Like that thing on your head?

The more I look it, similarity in grains aside, I'm not sure I like the wood buttons. Maybe gold for all? I can easily change the grains..patterns, dirction, etc. Do we even like the designs?

Where the hell is everyone? I'm left to talk to the damn Troll?

Starkers! I'm cutting your Rum rations in half!

The app. running in my screen shots uses a flat file bar it never has skinned!

I am up for what ever but personally I like the buttons in#481
