Ideas for a Community Theme Project - Valentines Day Edition

Tuesday, December 29, 2009 by Philly0381 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Okay folks, taking up from where Island Dog left off, Ideas for a Community Theme Project - Holiday Edition, I thought it would be nice to continue this with a Valentines Day Theme.

I haven't jumped out here and taken responsiblity for much of anything so i thought it would be nice to take the lead for a ommunioty project for a Holiday Theme.

What do you say?

My idea, subject to further input from the community.

Valentines Day Theme Pack with a Dream as being the core for the Theme

This would include at the minimum:  (updated to show skin volunteers)

•WindowBlinds theme (for XP, Vista and Win 7) - k10w3

•DesktopX Theme - RedneckDude

•DesktopX Widgets - RedneckDude

•CursorFX theme - Vampothika

•Dream - CarGuy1

•Rainlendar - RedneckDude

•RightClick Skin - Nimbin

•ScreenSaver Skin (based on the Dream) - CarGuy1

•Icons (IP or just some dock icons) - Vampothika

•Object Dock backgound - RedneckDude, DisturbedComputer

•Wallpaper (based on the Dream) - CarGuy1

•Logons (based on the Dream) - CarGuy1

•BootSkins (based on the Dream) - CarGuy1

(If you would like to do a skin that is not listed please leave a comment on the thread)

At the end this would all be wrapped up in a Theme Manager suite, I have to do something.

We need ideas for a unique name plus design ideas for the Dream.  If someone is all ready working on a Dream, all the more better.

Now, I'm a non-skinner so you folks need to let me know if there is enough time to pull this together for Valentines day.  We are only talking a little more than five weeks as we should have it done in time for folks to use the theme.  In that line of thinking the Theme probably should not just say Happy Valentines Day in words but show more of what Valentines Day means between two people who care about one another, if that makes sense.

Okay, so lets hear your thoughts.

AZ...already done.

I do need a screensaver done from the dream mpeg...I lost my screen saver app.

 

I'm sure I can find a 30 day trial screen saver app to make one with. Anyone know of a good one?

Ooops, sorry about this CarGuy1 and AzDude, that was my fault, to many things going on and I didn't check the list above.

Hey guys, I have a dilemma....it seems to me that the only way I'm going to be able to fix the stretching problem, is to lose all texture. If I do that, they will not match the blind very well. If I use what I have, there will be a few imperfections in the stretching of the graphic.

 Mirsguy is advising me on this project, but as I stated, I'm no dock maker, so I'll do my best.

I haven't heard from Disturbed Computer, so I'll make tabs and zoomers, and maybe tiles, just in case. No reason we can't have two sets?

Nice job there Jim on the tile Hearts

in the 2nd SS (PHOTSHOP one) The part I have in BLUE I need help with please, It will be RED.

I want it to be Transparent can someone help me with that.

I would also Like to put holes in it on each side with the heart k10w3 made (as the shape) but again I do not know how to do that

I will try a little better to explain I would just use her heart to have the shape but want it to be completely transparent .

thanks..

To make the blue area transparent you save as png. Then open it back up and with the eliptical marquis tool, select the entire blue area, and hit the delete key. That cuts it out. Then, I guess you'd need to replace that area with a shape set at whatever opacity you need.

I hope that makes sense, it may not be the only way to do it, but the only way I know.

 

As for the transparent hearts, if I understand OD, that will be problematic.

Better yet, you may be able to move your "blue" selection to a blank canvas, set it to the opacity you want, then move it back, worth a try.

Just have to love how everyone helps each other out.

Oh, and the dock backgrounds are looking pretty good.

To think you two said you didn't know what you were doing, right.

I never said I didn't know what I was doing, I said I'm not a dock maker...lol. Heck, I don't even use Object Dock. No need when you have DX.
