[WIP]: Happy Birthday Suit(e)

Anyone want to take a shot at building it?

Monday, February 4, 2008 by ZubaZ | Discussion: Community

I was sayign to myself . .wouldn't it be fun to have a Birthday countdown widget that on your birthday downloaded a WB skin with animated candles on the start panel and icing along the top of window frames with cake on the sides.

And maybe weather, clock, and calendar widgets.
And then . . while we're there a few docks along the same theme.
It'd be fun to have a game where you had to blow out candles too.
The sutie would look incomplete without a Sidebar of course so maybe we need those too.
Would cursors shaped like a cake server be out of place?
And balloons . . and clowns . . . and . . and . . and . . .
Wallpaper, bootscreen, logon, rightclick, rainlender . . .

But for now . . I think we just need a countdown?

Anyone interested?

I like it . . but it seems too serious to me.

I was headed to teh drugstore for tylonal (because one of my daughters broke her nose on the playground today) that the tranlucency of balloons would make an interesting skin.  And then I was thinking about who makes balloon animals . . . CLOWNS!!!

A whole new realm of gadgets!

Not bad... My dad doesn't want me to play it so much, so I wonder how he would feel when he sees the sidebar

I would pay Sins of a Solar Empire, but BF2 was $10, and that is $40. I don't have that kind of money to spend on games. Mainly, it goes toward school

I did these before the last few posts. Possible start windows?



Probably too serious.
I thought of clowns. I could do one, but I need a couple days. Also need someone to hold skinhit still long enough for me to make a decent likeness.

Thanks for the mock-up Po' I'm not against them but they are more serious than I imagined.

Think ToonXP but with cake and balloons and now . . clowns.

Yup

Trying to put together a Vista Logon right now...

Darn... If I knew how to make dynamic dreams, I could create a dream where balloons float up randomly...

This is tough. Once you get into 'clowns' it starts to lean towards 'circus' which would be a whole other theme.

Has anyone else spoken for the WB before I immerse myself in this? I'll take one more shot at it.

Its always fun to work in a group. I really enjoyed the TTD suite.

I was thinking of this gadget and gonna give this as a gift to sAARGe on his birthday.

I cant give too much time to skinning rightnow cause my exams are approaching but I can give any assistance on scripting gadget.
If there is enough time left for the suite then I will make the game gadget, too.

I have some ideas for the game...
You have to blow the candles just on time, next u have to play the music, then you have to burst the ballons which are on your desktop till the music plays. burst as many as you can and move to the birthday of your next frnd(means next level).
These are just the ideas to initiate the game. Anyideas anybody?
