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'd like to keep vertical folders out
quitter. 

I like the current look.  I wonder if you could use some significant transparency to utilize the Live folder functionality.  For example . . if teh back was opaque and horizontal and the front was transparent/translucent . .  .

Ahhh crap!  I don't know what I'm talking about.  Carry on with yoru best work.

I tried the live folder horizontal and it doesn't work because the thumbnails are still vertical. I PMed mormegil about it and he said there's nothing I can do about it. I'll work on the vertical folder again and see if I can't perfect it (at least, to my standards).

Thanks, Xiandi!!

Just an FYI for everyone: the IP is almost finished . I have 16 icons left, some of which will be simple copy-and-pasters, others I'll have to draw from scratch. If tomorrow is anything like today, then I'll be steadily working a good bit of the afternoon and should have this baby ready for testing on Monday .

Sorry, I've been in Scotland and France since the Olympics began. Missed the opening ceremony traveling. Still in France now, but I'm coming home today. I thought that you were finishing this up the day after my last post, zubaz? Even though it's 'Completed', when I've got my XP PC back or Photoshop Elements I will continue with the Xion skin if you want. Not on till after 3:30 PM. 8:00 AM now. See y'all later.
