The latest Community Project. One Hundred : A Tribute to Boxxi

Monday, May 26, 2008 by TheD2JBug | Discussion: Community

Hello again

I would like to re-announce to the Community the latest on the tribute suite to BoXXi. We have now voted and with input from BoXXi and from the community it is decided that instead of building a suite from an existing BoXXi work ( fruitloops ) , we will now complete what would have been BoXXi's 100th submussion to WC.

The skin the commiunity has chosen will be One Hundered.

I have uploaded the source to https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=955&libid=18

I now ask the following for volunteers for the following:

Windowblinds

Iconpackager/Dock icons

Dock Backgrounds

DesktopX gadgets (Weather/clock/calendar)

Media player skins (Xion/Winamp/WMP)

Application skins ( Rainlendar/Sysmetric )

I would like to take this opportunity to invite any and all skinners , coders , testers and anyone that can help out to contribute to help out . If you have code or graphics you would like to build your skin around , or to allow this project to use , it would be appreciated.

If someone on the IRC channel has a 24x7 connection , it would be appreciated if a channel #onehundred could be created so we can come in and chat about our ideas.

I would also like to ask that this thread be stickied / an article created for it.

I'll edit this post as we get more into the project.

It needs no reminding , but this is Our tribute to BoXXi.

 Edit:

So far we have

Xion=zakai

Sysmettrix/Rainlendar Xiandi

WB/Wall = kitty

DX stuff = Puter

Dock BGs  = WebGizmo

Desktop Sidebar = mikeb1954

LogonXP/Rightclick = Pix3lSlay3r

Winamp Classic = me

Icons/Cursors = kitty/skinhit(???)

Actually that don't look like mine, I just got confused by the wall. Looks real good, but I may be biased. LOL

Well it is your wall.

That was just to match the bootskin.

No plans to upload it

I have not heard from him either. Last I heard he has been having trouble with his ISP. I sent him an email with no response yet, although his personal page says he was online a couple days ago.

Wow. I go on vacation and stuff gets done. Good job guys!

Dunno when I'll be able to get started on the WAClassic .. possibly not for a week or so as I have to work this week and then another trip .. possibly be a bit before I could make any progress/.

Good question about the permission.txt

I figure something like the following

by
Part of the One Hundred Tribute Suite by members of the skinning community, dedicated to BoXXi
Based on source graphics provided by BoXXi.
See https://forums.wincustomize.com/313288/ for details.

Same would apply to the skin description on here when uploaded

Possibly add some sort of distibution guideline , etc

As for releasing, I would say we wait a short time and make another effort to find some icons for it , either an existing set someone has and would like to add , or an artist ... if not , just go ahead and release them on or about the same time , then us slowpokes can add on when we complete ours.

As always , any input is welcome.

We could also have someone package them as a .suite and then add elements as they are released

Most of what I have seen are not based to Boxxi's graphics. I used none, I don't think kitty did either.

OK...just got the update on what the actual skin is going to look like. Docks are in the making. The ones I started were based on the graphics provided in the graphics section....gotta start all over now.

OK, well it seems to me that almost everything is being made based on the blind, which is as usual. So, it would seem that kitty has already given us what we need. I have gotten permission from brickhead to use some of his graphics. I have given, in this thread, permission for use of my walls, and such. What else is needed?

Yeah.....I thought this was going to be a skin based on BoXXi's graphics or one of his skins...not sure what happened there. But anyway, docks are just about done.

what happened was boxxi stepped in and gave his suggestions, and from the graphics he gave, i was unable to complete a window blind based on his very few graphics.....

That is what happened webgizmos.....i thought you were up to date on the whole thread, since you volunteered to help?


...just out of curiosity, where did you get the wb from? i could have sent it to you myself....

and i dont want anyone besides the volunteer skinners of this suite to have it until it released....
