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.

Now, when shall we upload? All at once? Blind first? Huh?

I think if some of the Themed Skins are done, uploading them say by the end of month it will provide a tease for the community and have them looking for the WindowBlind. What do you think?
Tomorrow I will PM Island Dog and see if he will do a article on the Community Project once the WindowBlind is uploaded.

Talked with Island Dog this morning and he will do an article on the Theme.
So, the official date for uploading the skins for the Theme is not later than 7 Feb. You can upload earlier if you have them ready. Please let me know if you will not be finished by then. I'm sure that Island Dog will use a screenshot of the WB in the article. I will start pulling togehter the suite as soon as the skins are uploaded. I will upload the finished suite sometime on the 7th.
Besides 'Valentine's Day Theme' what should we name it?

Everyone knows what the date of Valentine day is so you just call it.
FEBRUARY 14th

I fixed mine for ya, CarGuy1! (For the record, I'm blaming Skinhit).

Karen, the men know it they just don't admit they know. It's like selective hearing.

I need beta testers! My access to XP is rather limited (kid's computer---he works a totally different shift than I do), and I have NO access to Vista, so I'd like comments, suggestions, -- rip 'her to shreds, be brutal. I've had the kid glove treatment long enough. (k10w3 really would like a promotion soon). I've uploaded it here:

I still need to make the XP file transfer animations and the interface loading animation. That's going to have to wait until next week when I don't have to work again.

We really need to name this thing...I'm at a standstill until we do.
Edit...
My favorites out of the suggestions so far are...
Valentino
My Dirty Valentine
