Any Skinners with time on their hands?
Saturday, January 31, 2004 by Sput | Discussion: Skinning
I would love the time to turn some of the wallpaper ideas I've had into full suites (including Dock icons, logons, CursorXP, WinMedia player etc), but a full time job tends to get in the way.
In particular, for my own desktop I'd love to find the time to turn this wallpaper:
https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&SkinID=14751
into a full suite.
I can provide the Photoshop original image, but I'm afraid it's stupidly mostly flattened as I accidentally saved it that way while still working on it.
So, anyone out there fancy the task?

...it's not capability, it's time I lack. I can work on a wallpaper on and off quiet easily, but creating a skin needs more dedicated time spent on it.

Hmmm - in hindsight, that last comment sounds rather arogant - making GOOD skins certainly isn't easy. I've decided to try my hand though, so I'll see how I measure up. Instead of trying to turn the idea above into something though, I've started from scratch with a different design. It'll probably be finished by Christmas

Hey, everyone knows good things take time so if it's scheduled to be finished by Christmas we should have a definate kick-ass skin on our hands...

Hey Sput - I'd be happy for you to run your design on top of my WMP9 skin, if you like. You'd just need to come up with a 517x19 background image and some buttons and stuff.

C'ya!
