I'm a new skinner hoping to gain apprentice status

Friday, August 27, 2010 by Glen Bland | Discussion: New Users

Hi everyone, my name is Glen Bland. I recently renewed my subscription and started working on some DesktopX widgets and WindowBlinds themes. I plan to become an active member of the message forum, both helping others and occasionally asking for help. I will also be uploading a lot of skins. My previous subscription was back in 2006 and I didn't do much on the site then. As I said in the title, I am hoping to gain the status of apprentice, and eventually work up to journeyman, etc. I would love to become a master, but I will have to prove myself and I don't expect that to happen over night. So, for now I look forward to getting to know the community here and hopefully make some friends who share my passion for skinning.

One more question; how can I upload a user image/icon/avatar?
In the forums, go to the "Account" tab, then to the "Images" tab and upload your images.

Oh, and welcome!

Thanks

Glen--try some of these articles. I don't know if there is an answer to your media player question here, but there is bound to be some useful information for you.

Thanks for the links. I think I found something that might actually help. It's for a picture slideshow, but combined with the dx player, maybe. I'll see.

For album art, you might try cracking open some of the DX widgets here: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/all/search/album+art

I was sure Skarnivorous used to have an album art object, but some of his stuff seems to be gone.

First of all- Is it frowned upon to upload un-finished themes?
Would suggest creating a WIP thread to get testers and feedback before uploading the finished product.

 

I guess the best category to do this in is "Sneak Peaks" So I made a WIP thread under that.

I really appreciate everyone's welcome and help.
