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.

AV, the clock is very nice.
IMO the close button should be made to appear when we mouseover on the clock face.

I could probably do a logon screen or something if needed! I can only volunteer, as I don't have all day everyday, but I'd be glad to help.

Thanks for the offer!  Logons are spoken for but if you want to take a crack at teh Xion skin it'd be appreciated.

Ok I'll have a go at an Xion skin. I'm not very experienced, so if it's not what you wanted then I'm sorry. So it's like a 'Stardock Birthday' theme, right?

Link to graphics by theAVMAN have a look at them to see if you can use them in your Xion skin. Never made one myself but if you need help ask here and someone will try to help you out.

More of a Wincustomize than Stardock.

My "vision" was to have a DX object that counted down to a users birthday.  On that date maybe it would open a browser to the WC gallery search on Birthday.  I really wanted it to download all teh pieces of the suite but I don't think that's possible.

Which reminds me . . . At some point I'd like to use teh same naming convention and maybe part of teh same description.  Is everyone cool with that?  Something like "Birthday Suit(e) : Xion" or something.

Oh, and I see that there's no Maxthon theme! I could have a crack at that too, if I have time.

By the way, it turns out Xion is pretty easy to skin, but, as I've said, it's my first time. And I'm borrowing some of your images, RickJP and AVMAN. Thanks!
