Suggestions for 2014 WC Community Project

Tuesday, February 4, 2014 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

The last community skin we did was the Holiday Community Suite back in 2009.  I wouldn't mind doing another winter holiday suite, but that's for later in the year.

https://forums.wincustomize.com/363398/

So lets start getting ideas for the next community suite.  Do we go for a season like Spring or Summer?  Another holiday?  A different type of theme?

Lets hear it and discuss it and get moving on the next one.

Actually, It is off Ross, but looks to me like just because you have a text or font difference going with days and event fonts.

 

 

Thanks so much for the posting of the Rainys!

I still need to adjust a text on the task and event windows , then will submit, unless that is already done?

Looks like a different font being used for active state (event). Hence "double dates".

Open the skin config window, right click on the rainy and mouse over skin. Up top click on edit current skin. Click on today, the check box, enable today, should be unchecked. This gives an overlapping font. Always was a pain that. With the exception of month and year each of the fonts for days, event, todo etc etc should read calibri/9 with the color white. My bad though because I neglected to change them in the config before uploading. I said its been a long time since I made one. Also with enable events checked that too might give an overlapping image on the numbers. Changing the font and point size should fix it...hopefully. lol

Question for those in the know.....   

I am partial to recolouring blinds that recolour well.... some programs like docks and gadgets etc... allow you to change colour... as seen in the screenshot with Frontier weather....  I don't see any facility for this in Rainlendar... am I missing something?.. is it possible and I just haven't spotted it?.... if not, is it a piece of coding that could be added?.... like from our resident coding wiz... sViz?....  

(teddy's new wall by the way... quite dazzling...)

 

Edited with Dave's new recoloured Rainy...

is it a piece of coding that could be added?

no there isn't.

However here is something I actually did.

You have to have Photoshop. I guess there are other programs available as long as there is a Hue adjustment. You need to open the graphic in PS in this case the 3 graphics. "Background" ToDo or Task list whatever one calls it and the Event list. In PS goto Image, aAdjustments, / Hue/Saturation. Slide the sliders and you can make it any color you wish. After it's done just save it and copy and paste into the Rainy folder in Programs files. 

If you can't do that tell me what color you want and I will do it and send you the graphics or just put them in DropBox.

Well, there needs to be a distinction between days with events and days without. Font color change or some kind of notifier, like a box around that day, etc.

Most use a different font color for that function. Also, toady's date should stand out.

Uvah, you must be using an older version of Rainlendar. Mine doesn't seem to have those settings. I'm using the latest.

thanks for the info Dave... and the offer...

I do have photoshop.. but I suppose, considering how often I change themes... and it's a heap.... I was hoping there was something quicker...

still... it's worth doing for some of the desktops themes that I constantly come back to...the regulars... thanks for the tip...

Morning all. I was not surprised , actually expected,to get some disappointment with my Rainlendar skins as far as frames matching. Even expecting it, it sucked, but only for ten minutes or so,lol. So, made some new framing, you will love damn it, I order you, but kept the originals also. Now it is a four pack of Rainy's'. One for both flavors, mine and yours.Have a look.[Also, Dave suggested a button change, I used his and mine to make a new one, thanks Dave} Thank you sydneysiders, thanks bleumart.
