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?

That's what happens when all the blood that should be in your brain is drawn somewhere else. This explains a lot.

Everything looks freakin amazing. Is SIDEBAR a Vista only feature or is it one of the ones you can D/L for free (I've seen a few different ones around) I want the SIDEBAR skins.

WebGizmo looked at the Zoomers and explained to me how to fix them.

I have to do the Zoomers
Folder Glyphs
The 'Please Wait'
and I forgot about the freakin widget. I will try to squeeze it in over the weekend.
Oh..and the damn Order Of The Stump wallpaper to finish.

Am I missing anything on my end? (Shut up, Zubaz)

Sidebar is Vista only.  DesktopSidebar is XP and higher

Po.... Desktop Sidebar is easy to set up and run , and is nothing to do with Vista , however for the people who use vista, it works quite well ....

It is also Free - which is very cheap nowadays

There is a forum, of which I am a Mod there , which is excellent in its support for new members ,we have a lot of fun there ...

One of the guys there .. who is the main troubleshooter for those with problems .... actually works in Microsoft ... a few doors down from a certain Mr G !
The person who actually developed the DS program also works there too ... and believe me when I say that the people at the top are well aware of our presence, so I've been told ..

Like anything else in a newly downloaded prog ..its a bit fiddly at first until you get used to it ... and It was 6 months approx before I had plucked up the courage to explore the actual program .... I joined in September 2005 and now I have made about 150 skins since then ...

.. Its' very much a personal thing ... I have used the Vista Sidebar and I was not impressed ... this one is far more customisable .. and it's definitely , for me, got the edge ...

Is that enought to convince you ?

( Just waiting for The big Guns here to put up a Desktop Sidebar Gallery ... Then the fun can begin ..! ! )

It sure does... and why his using spell checker isn't gonna help us with Zub's written interpretation of things

I hate you.


Aw, c'mon Aaron, there's no need to be like that... I was only asking.


Don't worry I'm fixing the credits issue as we speak


2of3... could you also email me the permission so I can do/upload the Vista logons, please.

He only has two hands and obviously needs a third to use spell check.





Let me know which one.. I can whip up some more if those don't suite anyone's taste.

Here's what I have so far on the rainlendars



I still need to work on the fontface and color, but you can see the direction I'm going with this. Someone please stop me if you think this is the wrong way to go as I'm kinda pressed for time (I need to finish these and upload by Monday)

Feedback please!

Starkers, you got mail

Thank you, 2of3, it is appreciated.

As for the Rainy: 'tis looking good and I could live with it on mt desktop... except for one thing... the image of Bichur peeping at me watching him looking at me. Uggghhh!!!

Orright, if you have to use the image of Bichur, could you at least have him facing the other way so he's less distracting... and I'm not so self-conscious when nude computing.

He only has two hands and obviously needs a third to use spell check.


Oh, OK! So what you're saying here, with the chemically induced blood loss to the brain, is that we're destined to an age of Zubaz' goofs, gaffs, blunders and typos cos he has no third hand... while the other two have a firm grasp on the pulse of WC.

Looks good. One suggestion...Did you get the toolbar icon pack or the tollbar images from me? The 'arrows' could be replaced by the arrow shields. I have them for all three styles. Let me know. Or not.

here is a few more avatars. What do we like? (More on post #670) Any of them? Or am I way off base.

Progress:



Note
I don't like the font color for year and month (I want a dark brown), but every hue I've tried seems to paint a blue color instead when applied
Any advice on this matter would be helpful!

I realize I need to fix the hue on the events and todo panels. They are slightly off

I think the green is fine.

Great looking avatars! I like the bottom one on 673 best.

I did try that in fact , but I thought it seemed redundant to have 3 shields on the rainy..... plus the wood grain in the icons didn't match the rest very well. I can try "floating" arrows without a button face to see what it looks like?

I think the green is fine.


Ok, it was a compromise to use green...... really bugs me that the colors don't work correctly in rainlendars. Maybe someone knows a solution?


Otherwise I hope everyone likes the rainy so far and aren't just humoring me

I thought it might have been your graphics program til I saw the part about colors in Rainlender. I wish I could help.

Glyphs- DONE
Avatar -Just gotts pick one
Please Wait- WORKING
Stump Wall - Working (This one is giving me a hard time)
Widget - Did I actually say I was going to do a widget? You know, I've been on a lot of

Do you want to try to try to recruit one of our DX masters to knock out a widget?  What kind of widget did you want?  Raise your hand if you'd like to see a Troll Thumping version of IRB's and RomanDA's Slider clock.

I believe it was Haptork who was going to do a widget.

I like the shield in the middle (avatars)

Zu...consider my hand raised.
