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.

It works great for me, except for one small thing. When I close it, I get a dialog box asking if I want to run it. Awesome job!

I tested it, and it works like a charm. 
I kinda liked the other music better, but if it's not royalty-free, whacha gonna do? (Not to mention, I have weird taste in music, so my opinion on the matter doesn't carry much weight).

Looks good David. Thanks.
I gues teh suite is complete . . time to get it featured, huh?

Yup! 
Nice work people! Thinking of another suite to do yet, ZubaZ? I don't think there's much time to do a Christmas suite, but if we do just the basics for it, it might be possible... but that's for in the future. But right now, let''s get this one featured!

Upload as normal but add "Birthday Suit(e)" to start of title for it.

(don't use the title format for the last three . . they didn't follow the pattern.)

If any of the artists that did not use the Birthday Suit(e) {Appname} format could update the title that'd be awesome.

All, I have used the new Theme Manager to create the a suite. Please take a look and see what you can see.
Some limitations of the tool now are that it can have as many DX widgets as you want but only one object. Same with docks.
I've documented the issues I've encountered here: https://forums.stardock.com/330419/page/11/#1957907
If you have issues loading please post them there too.

Other than the fact that the birthday music has royalty attached to it.
Perfect!
