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.

Po you are going to have to leave the same # of pixels of empty space above the taskbar as your balloon button are.

Ex,.... taskbar button height is 50 then if the bar itself is 30(default)them there should be 20 blank space above the bar.

Dont forget also the content margin in the taskbar buttons sets overall height of the bar!!!!!!!


start button -
taskbar -
systemtray -
button -

all 82 px in hght. Still squishing and now my button is all off when I apply it.

Avman, I think I follow what you're saying. Let me ask you this...Do you think I would have better luck using the old Skinstudio or should I stick with SS6?

That looks cool.

I am now doing the same balloons with an animated string (see reply 163)
They will be the same 15 colors same size, but will they will be animated gifs (they look more realistic in the screen saver). I should have them done by the end of this weekend.

Yeah. Go for it! It's probably the most air play any of my music will ever get.

Sorry for the hold up. I have an employee out this week and the gentlemen filling in does not drive. So, I am up every morning at 4:30 to drive 30 miles and taking him to his job site and then coming home to handle the baby til my mom-in-law arrives. Then I have to take him home..yadda yadda.

I will be contacting AVMAN and vSTyler who have both agreed to lend a hand to set up a time we can start this (I'm shooting for Friday evening) and all meet on messenger or in IRC. I will post the time this afternoon, without fail.
