Community Theme Project - St. Patrick's Day
Sunday, January 24, 2010 by Philly0381 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Okay folks, I thought it would be nice to continue with a St. Particks's Day Theme. My idea, subject to further input from the community would use those items that we generally associate with the Holiday. I'm thinking: Green, 4 leaf clovers, rainbow, pot of gold, Leprechauns, Irish, The Blarney Stone, Magicial. Did I miss anything?
It would be nice to have skins for the following: (updated to show skin volunteers)
•WindowBlinds (XP, Vista and Win 7) - Vampothika
•BootSkins -
•CursorFX - k10w3
•DesktopX Theme - RedneckDude
•DesktopX Widgets (weather, clock, etc) - Weather RedneckDude, Clock The AV Man
•Dream - Ausvet, amitsaran
•Icons -
•Logons - Frankief
•Object Dock - Backgound G3mpi3, Icons k10W3
•Rainlendar -k10w3
•RightClick - Vampothika
•ScreenSaver - amitsaran, Ausvet
•SysMetrix - Lantec
•Trillian Astra - G3mpi3
•Wallpaper - Frankief, k10w3
•Winstep -
•Xion Skin - k10w3
Other than the WindowBlind I see no problem with having multiple skins in the Theme. This would allow the user to set up their desktiop with different looks. For instance DeskScapes now has a function for changing the background, folks would be able to have their DeskScapes rotate through backgrounds.
If you would like to do a skin that is not listed please leave a comment on the thread.
At the end the themed skins would 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 WindowBlind. If someone is all ready working on something, all the more better.
Okay, so lets sse some volunteers and hear your thoughts.

G3mpi3 if there is a library in WC where folks can download the skin then go for it. I will add you to the list above.

Okay folks need some thoughts or ideas for what the graphics should be for the theme.
What are we going to call the theme:
Pot of Gold
Rainbows End
Leprechaun Magic
Kiss The Blarney Stone
We also could use some more volunteer skinners to help fill out the theme, don't be bashful, ask a fellow skinner to join the project.

Well definitely needs to have a 4 leaf clover in there somewhere...and how about a blarney stone for a start button. For the please wait....a leprechaun sliding off of a rainbow on to a pot of gold would be cool.
Oh...and the theme would have to have some green in it! 
Oh...and once I see something...anything started on the WB skin I can tell you if I can do the docks or not.

I can work on walls and logons but thats all I am basically into. Wanted to help with the last one but due to personal problems, my time on my computer is limited as I am sharing with my daughter who is taking classes at college and needs to use my system a lot! Was hoping she would get her marriage worked out and be back home by now, but doesn't look like it is going to happen.

Then I would say this would be a good project to use as a break from what has been going on. Glad to have you on the project.

I'm wondering what Vampothika has worked up so far? Would be nice to see a sneak peak.

I think she said she wouldn't do anything until after the 7th, Valentines Day suite, you know...

Quoting Philly0381,
reply 13
M-203 thanks for the suggestions, but the intent for this was to make a St. Patrick's Day Theme.
Rainbows End
Kiss The Blarney Stone
for they have about as much to do with the St. Patricks Day Holiday as the one I suggested.
Don't take it personally, just the opinion of someone who IS Irish, and will be back living there within a month.

M-203, Kiss The Blarney Stone was more of a 'you must be kidding' suggestion, Rainbows End in more in line with finding the Leprechaun's pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
I do understand that there are two distinct Holidays, the commercial celebration and the more traditional Irish St. Patrick's Day. Going for the more cheesy version.

Yeah...we wouldn't let poor Philly go cheesy on the Valentine's day suite, so he's Jones'n for his cheese.
I like Leprachaun Magic, since Vampothika said she was going to go magical on the WB. (My personal choice for a theme name would be "Just shut up and drink the green beer" but that's sort of a plagerism of Po'Smedley's Valentine's day icon set, "Shut up and kiss me")

In that case:
...I like Leprachaun Magic, since Vampothika said she was going to go magical on the WB.
...
I second k10w3's suggestion, Leprechaun Magic (it's spelt with an e not an a k10w3,
) sounds cheesy enough.

Damned nice Four-leaf Clover...!

It would be in the less popular "IM Goodies" section. I want to try to bring some life to that category.
