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.

Needing some more volunteers to help fill out the theme, if you know of someone who just might want to help give them a shout.

I've re-done my original idea, keeping only the taskbar and taskbar buttons. I know Valentine's day is not much of a guys day, but I'm toying with this idea of a his and hers version of the WB to try to get more guys into the "fun" -- I've uploaded an beta version of the guys here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wgtmhjfmmwy/A2.wba
I'd appreciate if anybody could give me some feed back on this -- is it too risqué, too cheesy, (in particular the mouseover start button). Any comments at all -- good, bad, indifferent -- I'll accept them all with gratitude.

k10w3 I kind of like the original version.
Valentine's Day can be a guys day, they may blush some. 
What will be different befween the 'guys' and 'girls' versions?
The graphic on the mouseover start button in the new version is small so it's hard to tell what it is.

The girls version has a little silver cupid for the start button, and I don't have animation for it right now. I, too, liked my original graphics, but there's a problem with the way the black curly decals stretched -- when the window was maximized it looked all pixelated and was really unattractive.

All I can say so far is that it will be hard to do docks for this because of the graphics. Not that they are bad....just that they don't work well with OD as far as stretching. But I'll give it a shot.

I still have Vista on one of my machines...I can install the bookskin program and create it also.
Reply #53 Tuesday, January 5, 2010 5:39 PM
OK -- I think I have something a little more workable. I chose to go red and shiny....who doesn't like red and shiny?
