Return of the Community Skin Project
Full details coming soon
Wednesday, January 2, 2008 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Heavy Equipment is one of the largest skin projects ever attempted, with dozens of skins for almost every application imaginable. It took dozens of skinners months to do, but the result was without a question one of the most impressive skin sets released. Nothing has really come close since then.
In the past year we've seen groups of skinners get together to do their own smaller skin projects, and while the results have been superb, they lacked scale. And of course there was some disagreement over being able to call them community projects since they weren't open to absolutely everyone.
Well, in the coming weeks we're going to start to talk about the next true community project. It will be open to anyone who wants to participate and will accept skins for any application you care to skin. Jafo himself will be leading the charge on the project and organizing volunteers and work.
As a bit of a preview, the theme of the project is going to be a worn/corroded metal. Heavy Equipment was so clean and pristine, but now we're going to try something with some years on it, something with more "character" I guess.
If you're interested in the idea, start lining up. We'll have more details for you soon when we're ready to officially kick things off. I just wanted to let you know it's coming and see if we can start kicking up some interest and ideas.

No problem Kitty , Thanks for volunteering!
I have been in touch with Jafo and he will be starting some type of thread on the subject some time this weekend. After his post we will go from there.

Hey whats going on here. Quite teasing me please. I can only guess what this will look like with the talent involved on this project, so how about an update.
I'm watching and waiting.

Thing is, doing the XP version requires creating 69 toolbar icons + 69 hot + 69 small + 69 small hot + shell items + throbbers + file animations + logoff/shutdown dialogs (all time consuming) which makes me a little anxious to get the ball rolling...

If so will there still be sample graphics?
Apparently Harley has been working on a "new" heavy equipment concept for a few years now and we're waiting on his graphics so everyone will be on the same sheet of music. (Same graphics / different apps)
Is that what everyone else got?!?!?!
