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.

DC's point not withstanding, I have talkied with Vampothika.
Doesn't make much of a difference right now anyways as I am unable to upload anything let alone the suite.
If anyone wants to try doing the Theme Manager Suite have at it, I'm too stressed out at the moment.

Sorry to have asked

Some folks take on skins that are a lot of work and need extra time to get them completed.
It's not rip on DC day, more like rip on Philly day.

John, have you tried uploading with a different browser? Which site are you uploading from, regular WC, or the new beta?
Reply #280 Monday, February 1, 2010 3:40 PM
Tried with IE 8 and FF.
Uploading from the current site, if you upload from the beta it just takes you to the current site
Have used both url's, the main one gives an error the alternate shows that it uploads but goes to 'never never land'.
I redid the suite file also.
I can't even upload screenshots.
I'm running Flash Player 9.
Island Dog tried to see what was wrong, turned it over to support.
Forgot, I haven't changed any setting or how I upload a suite from the last one I uploaded either.

Currently there are six skins uploaded and CarGuy1 will be uploading his this evening which should add another five skins.
You can see the downloaded skins by typing in My Dirty Valentine in the search box on the WC home page.
I have the description ready for the Suite and I'm adding the links to the skins as they get uploaded.
Lets not forget to identify those folks that tested and helped with the project.
