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(???)

Rick, I like the orientation of the '100' on the first one, but like the black background blending on the second one.   

Puter Dude, musta missed that one, I'll go look.

Which one of these do you all like? I like the bottom one, my first instinct, but the top one has more white. Input please?

Decided to do both. There will be a 100 DX Light, and a 100 DX Dark. The voices said so.

Windows Live Email
Windows mail gives me fits,and sometimes it won't let me dl or open an .exe file.

I like the bottom one, my first instinct, but the top one has more white. Input please?


I like both,of course.  It's amazing how a little thing like the white border makes it 'pop.'Stands out from the wall,but it compliments it nicely.

Cool! It's funny, when I made the rainys I named them 100 Light and 100 Dark.....  I think we are listening to the same voices.

Well, guys. Here is what I have. These shots are using my wall, which I think goes well. All I lack are sounds and the DX themes are done. First is 100 DX Dark.








Next is 100 DX Light. I will upload both when everyone else is ready.

I realize that this is a tribute skin for Boxxi, but in tribute to the late George Carlin, when you click the 100 on the DX theme, to empty the recycle bin, George says "I'll be right back...I gotta take a dump"!
