Zune DX
WIP
Thursday, January 7, 2010 by Lcdude | Discussion: Sneak Previews
Well I've been out of the WinCustomize community for too long...last skin I posted was a "Fluorescence" DX on "SinTactics", which I must say was still a blotched effort. I didn't really like that name, so I'm going with "Lumic" for now...
For the time I was away I did do abit more research into mobile OSes, and found I really liked the simple OS concept of the Zune HD. My previous skin "Fluorescence" had a high-tech complicated look, and in the end I decided it wasn't a great theme either. So for this one, I am going to try to follow simple styling as such. I guess this concept is partially based off the transparency of the "Naked" suite, which is what I've included in the preview.
So here's an early concept of Zune DX. It will have 2 "docks", the left one shown a drag & drop, and the right dock for widgets. I was wondering what people widgets people would want - I have the potential space for 8 [large] widgets.
Since I've been out so long, I would also like to ask about the weather widget options now. After the I heard about a while ago, what formats of weather widgets can I use now? Can I still obtain a 10-day widget that I got once from Bilbo? Are there any new base scripts I should try to incorporate? I heard something about a "dock anywhere" script...
And sorry, another question I guess. Should I stick with DX 3.5 for creating a theme now? Is DX 4 beta only for OD subscribers?

Thanks a whole lot for the info, Jim. I'll definitely be looking at your widgets / themes as a base.

The beta is only for subscribers, and you can get any of my weather widgets to use for a base, or get the template from sViz here. The old ones no longer work. There are two working versions, TWC and Weather Underground.
