New Star Trek Theme............

Sunday, March 15, 2009 by Leo the Lion | Discussion: OS Customization

Saw this on TSF today...........For all you Trekkies out there..........Don't turn this into a Hyperdesk 'bashing' thread, please. We went through that little immature debacle a few months ago. Just admire the creativity and even if you don't use Hyperdesk just admire the art work, cool icons and there's a free media player remote too.

Oh, I just wanted to stop in and say the Star Trek movie is looking awesome.  I just got my daughter a PSP, so I might have to check that out.

Flagship

I would need a Vista version.

The titlebars spoils the look of the entire flagship theme IMO. Which is a shame, because everything else displayed is top notch.

The Disney shot REALLY impressed me though... It's perfectly homogenous in quality, and 100% Disney! I need to get myself some kids, otherwise I have no reason to get it (if a version is released for my OS).

I'll second that. The graphics are stunning. I just hope they're the same in the skin!


Is that necessary doc?  You imply that there is false advertising going on.  If you have evidence of this, my bad but otherwise you shouldn't say things like this on a public forum.  It would be something to take up with Hyperdesk support I think.

m1....an honest hope! No criticism in there. I think they look gorgeous.

Actually I think we're going to be tweaking the titlebars for flagship. At least decreasing their height, possibly 3Ding them like the taskbar.

Not necessarily... Even though a still can be very cool, it may not look as good in a dynamic environment (like on a live desktop).

Any implications are in the mind of the reader.

Thanks mick....Please let me make this clear to everyone: I wish Jeff all the good luck in the world. I love the look of the skins on TSF website. I didn't mean what m1 thought. All my prior questions have been answered by starkers in pm. I'm sorry I don't know as much about computers as most on the site....I wish I did.

I look forward to that with huge interest, it would really improve the overall look.

If our skins come to WC. Brad seems into the idea, but it's up to WC. I'm not sure how much support there will be for us to participate like that. We'll see. If we get the word, we'll start almost immediately. I'll be looking for 1 or 2 WindowBlinds themers to help with the ports since Kol has a full plate of work. I have to convert all of our icons anyway for Vista for Hyperdesk so i can do the icon packages myself. Wallpapers are done. Widgets are done. WMP skins when applicable are done. 2 Artists working on the ports, I could probably get them all done within 4 weeks.

who was that guy from custo who used to hate us. Was like an anime japanese name that started with an M?

 

Wasn't that Miriku? Could never figure that one out......

OK, little off-topic again....but "back then" there was a 'lively' debate about whether ALL skins/skinning should be free.  The more vocal participants were on Customize.org.  On one 'side' were several seniors/admins of Custo...and on 'the other side' were the people who then were just about the only commercial entities within skinning, namely Stardock, Pixtudio, and TheSkinsFactory.  This was quite a while before Stardock/Wincustomize introduced the 'Master skins' feature which provides the opportunity for many more skinners to have a commercial option/outlet for their wares.

Essentially, anyone on the 'wrong side' of the debate was a dinosaur living in the past.

What began as a back-yard hobby-craft has matured and come of age, as all art-forms eventually do....

TSF - Welcome back to Wincustomize! You know I enjoy your hyperdesk themes. I would enjoy them even more if/when they are ported to windowblinds.

oh yea., i would like to point some threads about that but or this ones are gone or hard to find, but the main argument was:

"why should i buy a skin if i already get my payed vertion of WB? they offer me free skins and now they with this sh*t? i will not spend a dime on this skin!

they were like common dude! no one is forcing you to buy anything!
