Curried Cabbage WB
or...who's got the guts
Saturday, May 23, 2009 by Uvah | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
In keeping with the finest of traditions I attribute to the great skinners of the WC community. I have but a single question. With all the jibe about curried cabbage what would a WB look like if someone would dare make one using the now infamous 'curried cabbage' as a theme. Any takers?

I find this curried cabbage WB idea totally amazing, given it started as a bit of fun in the 'Joe User-Joke User" thread (which I and a few others pirated) a couple of years back. At the time I had no idea the Curried cabbage thing would take on a life of its own... but here we are today, perpetuating its existence with thoughts of creating a dedicated skin. Who knows, it could even become a community suite with a range of curried cabbage components to grace even the most discerning ripper's desktop... docks, Xion and/or Winamp, icons, a cursor, Winstep Xtreme, right click and so on... and I wonder if our dear friend Fairyy~ could be persuaded to do some DX components, even a Rainy???
We know that if farting is involved, RedNeckDude 'll jump at the chance. And I'm sure Messiah1 can produce a few squeakers... and Bilbo a couple of DX rippers.... so how about it people? No need to get your hands dirty... and the smell-o-vision component would be added AFTER your contributions..... to prevent fainting spells mid-pixel.... SkinStudio taking a fit: "Sorry, SkinStudio has met with an unexpected error and has to close." And I suppose in the bigger picture, family members may take exception to the smell and banish you and your puter to the garage or garden shed. So the smerll-o-vision is out until the rest is completed... tho I thought lick-o-vision could prove useful to those who have not tried curried cabbage as yet... you know, a free taste test.

Who'd have ever thunk it.... skins to celerbrate pure farting power?
If the truth be known, while I do enjoy a serving of curried cabbage, I have absolutley no idea if it really has the gas producing qualities attributed throughout these threads. I fart even at the slightest exertion, regardless of what I've eaten, tho I must admit, the barks do seem much louder after a plate of my favourite fare.
So I guess it must.
Anyhow, while I'm no skinner, I'm up for the Vista logon and boot... maybe even a few cabbage icons for OD,. etc. ![]()
BTW, Po, I quite like that start panel design... that is superbly spiffing, tho I wonder if the green could be a little lighter and more cabbage-like texture-wise.... and maybe the red panels more of a curry colour. Just a thought to give it a little bit more authenticity, tho, you're the man with the talent and ability, so far be it for me to offer more than suggestions.
And Doc, that start button idea is just the ticket.... love it.

Would that pose be with or without green gas cloud?? ![]()

Do you peopel even HEAR yourselves?????? I thought this was a joke. A knda of 'what if'. You know, there is a world outside your doors! Though, I could work on the start window being more cabge like. I don't know about the brown, but I could try it, I guess.
No. No, you wouldn't. And those kinds of remarks just encourage them! And if you did, we would want a screenshot and you would have to have your face in the wallpaper. And a doctors note.

This is incredible...OMG...I could be looking at an actual WB of curried cabbage...HOT DAMN!!!!!...There's a wall...a start button and task bar...a start panel. It's even got an avatar. Holy guacamole (is that how you spell it Zubaz?). C'mon Po...you know you love this stuff
I'd like to see Fairry~ and maybe Lovely62 doing widgets and a rainy. Let me thank in advance everyone who jumps on this greenish/brown bandwagon and hope nobody slips off in the goop

Yeah, but that "what if" has taken on momentum and must now become a reality.... curried cabbage munchers of the World would be highly diappointed if it did not come to fruition. And then there are those who have yet to sample this glorious fare, it would be a travesty not to provide them with a suite of curried cabbage skins to celebrate their very first taste test and enjoyment of this exquisite dish.

Yeah, where there's 'fresh air'!!!! Now c'mon, that's not getting into the spirits of things... no siree. So, hoe into a bowl of curried cabbage, stink up the room for inspiration, and push those green/light poopy coloured pixels around until we have a wonderous, digitally enhanced monument to the pure farting power that is curried cabbage. Now start munching and get to work.

It had BETTER get off the ground! I just got in a truckload of cabbage and curry powder (and at great expense, I might add) to get started on the smell-o-vision component.... and to impregnate the boot and logon for added effect. So yeah, this project is important... otherwise, if I'm not bottling the gas behind sealed closed doors, I can see all my neighbours selling up and moving... that's IF they can find buyers.

And a doctors note.
Well there you have it folks.... a bone-fide doctors note. Now you have no excuse. This note will exonerate you to those who simply do not understand, not to mention being a precautionary measure if those nice young men in the clean white coats are coming to take you away ho-ho he-he ha-ha. Yup, the Doc's note should cover it all.... so get to work and be proud that your contribtion will benefit mankind for eons to come. Curried cabbage is full of vitamins and is non-fattening, so think of your part as contributing to a slimmer, healthier society.

Your kidding about the face right, have you seen my picture
But if you want to use it, be my guest...
Cool Po![]()

Sure can, buddy! Red curried cabbage, green curried cabbage... can't see the diff, really. It's the spirit of the thing that matters, and WOW, I'm still pretty stoked about that start panel... now that really is in keeping with the spirit of things. Shoot, when I get back for running some errands, I'll even get stuck into some red cabbage icons to go with it.

Red cabbage substyle and red cabbage icons oh my. How about a cauldron with starkers stirring over a raring fire at midnight with a full moon and a witch silhouetted in front for a DX. Just a thought.
Pointed black hat and holey robe the good doctor sits on a rock laptop in hand furiously tapping away using keyboard shortcuts 'cause his mouse got ate by the cat. Greenish/brown steam rising from the LCD as it cooks the curried cabbage to a turn. Acolytes Po and v dancing in white robes in rapt awe and anticipation of the finished product.
starkers stops stirring for a moment and beckons the doc over. She dips a wooden spoon into the and as flames lick the wooden spoon the doc samples the first curried cabbage WB. Smacking his lips as the taste is oh soooo good when all of a sudden his eyes bulge...his belly rumbles loudly...he bends over and......
BAMMM!!!....Planet Earth vanishes in a nuclear mushroom cloud oddly tainted a greenish/brown hue.

This is great, Po, you might have started a wb u actually HAVE to finish! ![]()

This is community spirit at it's best: The coersion of Po' into attaining new heights as a graphic artist!
sydneysiders had what can only be called a moment of inspiration (don't inspire too deeply though, dear) regarding the red cabbage substyle.
I think WebGizmos is available to do the WinFart Theme (9.5/10 stars). m1 could also contribute some bananas to this effort.
I'd really appreciate v making the red cabbage substyle and maybe RedneckDude could do the DX?
It'd be a RedneckDudeRedCabbageDX. Longest named theme in WC history...for the 'lingering' effect.
So, Po'... you got your Doctor's Note a 'major' one at that....how about it? Pwease?

I don't have the talent with windowblinds to do what I would like to with this skin. Too many little extras I would want to add to it that I either can't make work or just wouldn't work. It may be better as a DXTheme. There's a lot more room to play around with the design.

Whichever way you want to do it. Helluva time to be 'puterless...sheesh!![]()

OK I have to comment they now have a company that is working on a piece of hardware that contains like 6 primary scents (odors) that works off a mathmatical formula that will allow a web builder to insert the formula into a html,css,xml.......page
then you could allow users to smell the ocean,or rainforest,perfume while on your web site.The hardware sprays an atomized mist mixed to the formula!
Now I have to go find the email!

Who would 'donate' the scent? Would it possible to have celebrity scents?

I have come to conclusion.
I need to find new friends.
I already have half the icons worked out in my head. My wife already looks over my shoulder and says 'What is THAT?' I could just imagine having to explain THIS. I have windowblinds I have been toying with for years. I don't need this. You guys are a bad influence.

You're missing the obvious.
Make the blind based on a 'perfume'.
L'odeur de Chou et de Curry
Very glassy, perfume bottle image (glass cabbage head?) and lots of fake ads with all your catchy remarks as slogans.
