Ideas for a Community Theme Project - Holiday Edition
Thursday, September 10, 2009 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have been wanting to help organize a new community theme project for quite a while. With the holidays rapidly approaching, and the fact that Christmas is one of the most popular skinning holidays, I would like to propose a community project around that.
What do you say?
My idea, subject to further input from the community.
Christmas/Winter Holiday Theme Pack
This would include at the minimum:
- WindowBlinds theme
- DesktopX Theme
- DesktopX Gadgets
- CursorFX theme
- Dreams
- RightClick Skins
- Icons (IP or just some dock icons)
- Wallpapers
At the end this would all be wrapped up in a Theme Manager suite.
My thought is a minimal-type theme that will appeal to a broad range of people, yet have a big influence of holiday colors or design.
What we need?
I need a Project Manager who will help coordinate skinners and their activities.
We also need ideas for a unique name plus design ideas.
September 28th Update:
Here is the current list of people who have signed up to participate. Aside from the WindowBlinds theme as we want to keep it consistent, several people can create themes of the same type as long as they stay within the theme.
Current skinners list:
WindowBlinds – Xiandi (Completed)
DX Theme – Redneckdude
DX Gadgets – Redneckdude, Island Dog
Dreams – CarGuy1
Theme Manager Suite – Philly0381
ObjectDock – MIrsguy
RightClick – Mirsguy, bk13GarbageMan
Wallpaper – DEVJIT, skyzyk
Sysmetrix – Fuzzy Logic
Vista Logons - skyzyk
Screensavers – Jimbo9294
CursorFX – ChaosMoth
If I missed anybody, or if anything needs to be updated just let me know.

Okay, this is shaping up to be one very nice Community Project. I'm getting the skins as they show up in the libraries and building my description for the suite.
Excellent work by everyone, just hope I don't mess things up with the desktop screenshot for the suite.

Would like to see an updated status on the Wallpaper, Sysmetrix, Vista Logons and Screensavers.

Okay folks, here is what the screenshot is looking like for the suite, so far.
I've addead a few non-theme skins including an Icon Package. Using a bit of transparency on those skins that allow it. Just waiting on the last skins to get uploaded and I will finish the suite.
