Troll Thumping Day Suite anyone?

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

Those of you who are new might not be aware of a unique WC holiday: Troll Thumping Day!

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

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


You should have the files image files to skin it from that last zip I sent. Let me know.
This is what they should look like with those files.

(I added some of the buttons so we can get a better idea on them as well.)

OK ... This is what , hopefully will be the Final Version of BLACK DRAGON :

What you see here is the Weather Details Panel and changed captions which are :

Standard OPEN ( ie, The 'Launch' Panel) : Gold on Black ~ Mirrored on HOVER....

CLOSED Captions ( ie ,The 'Magic / News Panels ) Green on BLACK with a Black on Gold HOVER ..

The HOVERED CLOSED caption ( The 'TRAY' Panel ) is Black on Gold ....

The Border uses the ROUGH WOOD STUMPY side of the Stumpy Frame ..This give the Sidebar a 'Solid Edge' ~ so to speak ....

The Top Clock (Winsford) is the Black Dragon Clock

The Lower Clock ( Taiwan ) , for a bit of fun , is the Emerald Flame Shield with a Digital Clock Readout .. This can changed with the Sidebar Skin Editor Prog ...

And thats about it , hopefully ... Anyway ..here ya's all go again :

PO and Zubaz
That first bar is not skinnable if we use perpixel frames!
However after some work with the classic colors and a little shading I got it looking pretty good I will post a screen shot asap !

Which bar? Not sure what you mean or why one is not working. Can you explain it to me so I can see if I can fix it?

It looks freaking awesome!

File,edit,view,favorite,tools,help......This bar cannot be skinned using the per-pixel widow frames it was an option that was lost in windowblinds 5 in order to give translucent borders!

It can be made to work but you lose anti-alias corners,drop shadow,and translucent effect on window frames!

So, everything but that can be perpixel? Do I need to make something else? is it because I didn't make it a seamless tile?

I'll wait for the screenshot.

I'm almost done the buttons. The loss of Skinstudio6 is slowing me down. I am using screenshots from the 'Toolbar Icons' gallery to figure out what I have to make. I'm just going across and doing them in the order they are in the screenshots, I don't know what the names are supposed to be. Hopefully have them to you very soon.

Can you email me and breakdown what else we need? I will get you the images for the animtions as well.

I think I get it. If the skin is using per-pixel, we can not skin the menu bar. Right? We have to go with the classic coloring?

I hope you picked out a good color.

*now I know how my wife feels when I go to the store and she worries about me not finding exactly what she wrote down on the list and improvising.

You got it !I just could not find the right words but I knew I had read something about it recently!

I picked a gold color but is easy enough to change!

Did the update get you back going?
