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(???)

No hurry Kitty, I am eager to get started, but I will wait till you're happy with it.



Quite right, I think most of us need to see your WB to know where we are going with adding the rest of the apps. but if you say its not ready and your not happy yet with the way it is, then nobody else will be either. So take your time, we know it will be good and most likely you will be waiting for us to catch up.

It's a tribute,and like Mt.Rushmore, the Taj Mahal or the Statue of Liberty,the really great ones take time to be created. I'm glad to see it's not being rushed.It's looking great so far,Kitty.

Sorry kitty. In the last 65 hours I've slept 6 and taken 2 to myself the rest of the time I've been stuck working.

Send it to me at [email protected] please.

I'll be pretty busy over the next week as 4th of July week is one of our busiest of the year but I'll be sure to make time to work on it the beginning of the following week if I can't before that.

Lookin' good.I like the wide menus,and Kitty's artwork worked into it.I haven't seen the blind but could this use more of the white to balance it out? Remember, I don't know diddly about art. Just a little input.

Probably, but I don't like white, and in order to feel good about a project, I have to go with my instincts. And I will be using my wall, which has less white, and more gray. Gray is also used a lot in kitty's blind. My aim is to compliment the WB, not to copy it. Thanx for the input, Wiz.
