Skinners, Artists, Coders, and Testers Needed: Community Suite

Happy Birthday!!

Wednesday, February 6, 2008 by ZubaZ | Discussion: Community

After the success on the Troll Thumping Day Suite some members of the Mother Thumpers are coming together to create the "Happy Birthday Suit(e)".

I envision this suite centered around a DX gadget that counts down to your birthday. On your birthday the gadget will prompt you to download the most recent incarnation of the suite components so for your special day, your desktop will celebrate with you.

At this point we have some components assigned to artists but this is a collaborative project and welcome input and assistance from everyone. Please jump in and help out if you'd like.

I agree with going with a yellow cake.)



I like the current chocolate

I hope you know I was kidding.

I suck at animations. I thought about those ideas and thought the easiest for me to try and do would be to have him have icing dripping off his tail.


Yeah I knew that. I have been with you for a while so I will not missunderstand you.

hey guys, like the project.

I would have wanted to help by making the avatar, since i notice no one is doing it but i DO NOT know how to make a Winky.

But i could say this, that image on post #202 would be great as an avatar but the cake would have to be a little better.

Just helpin' out

I doubt there good but this is one:

and i was thinking that since its an avatar, it wouldn't really look good with the Winky. so i did one with out it and the "Happy Birthday" thing:

[URL=http://img88.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hbregft8.jpg][/URL]

The color is black but i can change it to any color (ONLY IF I DON'T HAVE THE CANDLE). The only thing i can't do is the candle that i found on google images at a site where they teach you how to make a candle using photoshop. I don't use photoshop so i don't know how to do it. When i try to change the color with the candle on, the area around the candle is still black. and i can't change the color of every pixel. Its too much

Here's the link of that site: http://www.photoshopnerds.com/creating-a-candle-flame.htm

What do you guys think?

Bash . . I like the cupcake but hate everything else.     Great start!!

The thing is . . the avatar (let's assume it'll be used my the birthday person here at WC) has to match the theme (which is taking Po' forever to do and if anyone stepped up with a better [faster] idea I'd jump all over).

Keep the cupcake in reserve for now but maybe look at the taksbar and start button Po' came up with.  (I think he posted the images he used around here somewhere).

As an aside . . I really like the cupcake . . reminds of the Playboy bunny logo.  [No I'm wondering about a new winky shadow thing for another theme project another day.  }

You can do whatever you want  . . . but to be part of theis project you have to follow (or set) the theme.
