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(???)

..at the moment im kind of fustrated, reason: i have basically VERY limited images to work with for this blind, and it isnt much to go on...and basically the blind will be my work and not boxxi's....so i kind of dont feel like it will be a tribute at all.....so im not sure what to do, at least with the old blinds the blinds were complete, and all i had to do was just tweak and update and polish so to speak.....

what does everyone else think about this? and does everyone understand where i am coming from ?

Yes


I like the top image.

.and basically the blind will be my work and not boxxi's.


Kitty your work is great don,t worry



so i kind of dont feel like it will be a tribute at all


You are doing it as a tribute so the more you create the more time it took the more of a tribute it is!

If you need anything let me know!

I like the top image too. Keep going Kitty!    I'm actually glad this isn't just a rework of an older blind. I'm sure Boxxi intended this blind to be different than the rest of them, so don't worry about it being mostly your work. It's a tribute, not a copy of something he did. Keep us posted on your progress!

I agree,go with what feels right to you as an artist.Perhaps you could use some of the features or ideas from some of BoXXi's other work for inspiration.It would be unique,yet still have the BoXXi "feel"

Kitty,I love what you have there! Do you plan to have any transparency in the WB? I can go either way with the DX stuff.

I feel the same kitty. I have been trying hard and can't get inspired. So far, all I have is a background, ideas coming slow...   Actually was hoping to get some graphics help from you...lol.

ill post as much of my progress as possible, so the theme is not all over the place, and it has a uniform feel..........

you will have to wait for graphics for awhile Jim......it will take me a good 3 or more weeks to do this in vista....and then probably another 2 weeks in xp...... im a slow worker.....

and no there wont be any glass in this theme........

Thats a very drastic, contrasted gradient, might I suggest softening it some...
