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.

You done good. BTW...the height of th start menu does depend on the number of programs in the left panel. It's also tall because .... making it that well was a tall order.

Xiandi, I normally gather all the skins once they are uploaded and make the suite.
As ohters have said all along you have done a wonderful job with this community project.

Check your mail guys!
I sent it from my Gmail...Yahoo would not attach the file for some reason. If you dont have it and need the images, let me know!

Resent the file from my Yahoo mail. When Jim got it, it did not have a file extension. If that is the case for the rest of you, it can be fixed by saving it somewhere and renaming it with the .zip extension, then extract.

Mine did not show an attachment.
Reply #179 Sunday, November 1, 2009 1:01 AM

Prefer? No...I just need to change the setting. It just never occurred to me to do that.
(getting old sux---I just KNOW one of these days I'm going to be that nutty looking Wal-Mart shopper with the messed up gray hair and the funky drawn on mouth with lipstick going all over the place, and my shirt inside out).
