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.

You need one of these....

To go right across the top of the window and have it unroll every time the window is opened...with the noise effect. I would do it, but I totally suck at animations.
It could extend past the window , like the dragon in Molten does.

Wouldn't something like Vad's Skin Checker be fine for checking on updates?

I couldn't begin to make it unroll. maybe AVMAN?
I had one other idea...incorporate Winky. The start window just one big balloon with Winky clinging to the top in a party hat. From there, you could have Winky holding a present, cake..even a Winky widget blowing a party blower...if someone can make the damn party blower animate.

Too art-deco for me but cool none-the-less (maybe it's just the font)

Paste it into the form when you click the image icon of the editor.

yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, can anyone animate the party blower? I know for sure one way to animate it, but I don't know how Zubaz's wife would feel if every time he passed gas there was a loud horn and a party blower flying out of his butt.

Yeah, we rock!
Hopefully we aren't twins seperated at birth or something...that would be weird to the extreme.
