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.

Great! I've found Elements, just installing it. Let you know when it's done.

The volume on the expanded skin look very out of place still.
The stop button doesn't match.
The interface change button doesn't match
The font choice  . . I'm just not sure about that.

alibear - Have you tried using the font that Harley (the AVMAN) used in the WB? I'm not sure how legible it would be on the Xion skin, but, IMHO, it's worth a shot. Otherwise, it looks great

Ok, what font do you suggest? Oh, and I couldn't use the same button for stop on mini... Which one is best? if the large version then I'll have another crack, or try something else.

That's a point... AVMAN, please could you majke me a stop button and a change interface button?

I'll adjust the volume stuff on large. Anything else?

Much better!
The track position background could use some love too.  The part that has not happened yet.

I'm not sure where to upload it or if I can (Zubaz, help?). Otherwise, I'd ask Harley.

I will send it but if you download the windowblind then run it ,the font will be self installed.

Then (IN XP) go to control panel>classic view>fonts find paint stroke 1 click to hightlight
hold controlbutton press C and then paste in any folder.

Or DL windowblind change the file extension from (.wba) to (.zip) then unzip and it will be in there!
