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.

So so at the moment Philly.
Only DL the 4 as per reply #1259 would think all are on my computer already, but may have had the original names
and no DS Widgets wallpaper etc.

I've renamed the suite file to zip and looked at the winstyle.ini and there may be some issues. Dunno really. Will have to follow up with someone at SD tomorrow.
Like I said .. it's a start.

Zubaz it's great that you took the time to try out this function in Theme Manager 3.0.
Not very many skinners were pulling together Suites for thier WB Themes with the old Theme Manager.
It would be nice if this makes it easier for them to do it. Sort of like a free MyColors Suite.
I'll be monitoring here to see how you make out and if others take your lead. Good work.

Very few skinners make full suites. They take a tonne of time. But I've seen more than a few suies based on one artist's skin. vStyler and I.R. Brainiac stand out in my mind.
This app will allow anyone to create the packs without infringing on those artists.
I am hopeful that they create "authorised" or "official" suites by asking permission.

I left a comment on the Suite page, but I will ask the question here also. If I download the suite is it going to find all the items that I have a corresponding program for and install them?
Does it automatically apply the suite?
