WC Community Skinning Project - Themed Skins
Saturday, March 26, 2011 by Philly0381 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
All the entries for the WinCustomize Community Skinning Project are fantastic and unique. It is easy to see that the skinners have spent alot of time and effort in coming up with their designs. No doubt the judges had to spend quite a few hours in looking at each one in order to make their selection. Each entry is by any standards a winner and the skinners should be proud of their hard work.
The voting ended in a tie between two skins. In trying to choose a winner the two still ended in a tie. So the two co winners are:
QED by Xiandi
https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/7361/
Neptuneby Vampothika
https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/7358/
I think it would not be fair for all the hard work that the skinners not selected did on their entries to not thank them for making an entry for the theme of the community project. I'm am sure that all the WindowBlinds will find there way onto the desktops of lots of folks. Thank you one and all.
Now that the selection is over it's time to open the project up to the community skinners. Themed skins can be made for any WinCustmize Gallery Library. Other then Wallpapers, Dreams and Screensavers all skins must use the graphics of the Theme. The three exceptions should compliment the theme.
If you wish to make a skin for the Community Project just leave a reply on this thread. I will update a list of skins and skinners as they are identified for each WindowBlind. Multiple skins for all library and multiple skins by skinners for the projects are welcome.
Once all the themed skins are uploaded I will put together a Theme Manager Suite.

Some QED DX themed skins have been uploaded.

I got them. Our DX master is right up there as usual. That clock is a gem. Thanks Jim.
Got an issue that I'm not sure can be worked around other than changing from one image type for another. As an animation it works fine but the glass for the end graphics, the generators, are hidden behind them if I add them in graphics. I can leave them that way and show the glass when it isn't connected to the net then let the animation play when it is or.......I can change it to a multistate image and redo the graphics. Other than that the smx is ready Any ideas?
OH sh*t. Damn flies.
The background is the first ever photo taken of Mercury from orbit courtesy of NASA and Messenger.

Thanks Uvah!!!
Yours isn't too shabby either.
The widget versions of my recent skins will be up by tonight.

Looks awesome Uvah! 
You can't add the glass as a graphic and put it on top of everything? I think that is an option...it's been a while since I've made one.
Reply #29 Wednesday, March 30, 2011 8:41 PM
Unfortunately not with animations. There isn't an option for putting them after everything else like you can do with multi-state images. I tried both ways. I figure I'll leave it that way. Let the glass show when no connection to the net is present and allow the animation when it is. Use it as a network state like you do with dual state images. That way I can have both. Rainy is in the works then I start on Neptune. I already started gathering the parts for it. Beautiful graphics. Kitty did good on that one.

Uvah....try including the glass in the animation itself in its different states. If you can use the actual animation there's no reason why you can't use the glass as well. It just has to be part of the animation.

Actually I found a solution. I modified the graphics .png of the smx by including the glass. Now I have both glass and the animation running behind it. Cool! Just some tweaking remains. This is so much fun. He he

The QED Widgetbar went up with the wrong file in it. Philly let me know and I fixed it. It is in moderation.
Anyone who downloaded it and got weather.....sorry.

Does anyone know of a decent place to upload images for the forums. Palemoon is supposed to have a right click for imageshack. Did yesterday. Doesn't have it today and it is installed. Even right clicking on an image it doesn't show up.
