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.

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.
Leprechaunika............. lol just a dumb joke.
rune of majik (serious sugestion)

Some green, just a little, please. 
Some folks are ready to start following the rainbow to it's end and capture the Pot of Gold.

amitsaran, you need to slap me silly, I failed to include a piece of important information in the original post. Normally there is a date establised for uploading skins for a community project to the gallery. They should all be uploaded within a few days of each other but normally to show up in the library by a not later than date.
Most of the folks haven't even started on their respective skins yet.
Please hold off uploading to the library of any more skins untill a date is established.
How does Mar 7 sound to everyone?
To the rest of you, again my fault, sorry.

Works fer me, I need to wait for graphics from Kitty.
Reply #76 Wednesday, February 10, 2010 6:25 PM
I have finally found a picture worth basing the skin apon...(inspiration if you will)
I would like to steer away from the norms of green, leprechauns, clovers ect. I thought of a new name too.. Saint Patrick.
I hope people can appreciate the twist I would like to do, instead of the norm, im still making it a magical theme too..
I will be uploading some images in the next few days... xxx

Vamps, I think this suite is to be the greenish, more commercial looking St. Patty's Day type thing. Not telling you what to do but I believe, if you read this thread, from the get go it was decided that we'd go with the everyday idea of St.Patrick's day....shamrocks, green beer, all the things you see on TV and in stores. Not the way you're going.
This kinda thing....
Reply #78 Wednesday, February 10, 2010 7:54 PM
RedneckDude is right, that was what I was hoping for, but in all fairness, we have to see what you post in the next few days before we jump off the bridge. 
Just kidding, there's no water in the river. 
Reply #79 Wednesday, February 10, 2010 7:58 PM
I like that stained glass look and would be up for adding a few parts to a suite for it even if we go the Lucky Charms way on this particular one.......
Reply #80 Wednesday, February 10, 2010 8:01 PM
Vamps... You're making the skin. Your way. Period.
Do it your way, because it'll be the best! (When you're done, don't forget to turn it upside down so it'll come out OK here in "Up Over").
