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.

Jimbo, sorry to hear about your wife, hope she's doing well.
If you need some assistance with the dream, feel free to PM me.
Since it looks like your animation on the candle would just be the flame, you could go with a hybrid dream pretty easily. Your welcome to use the flame file from my menorah dream if you would like.
