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.

This represents my Rainlendar and it's settings only, although, the misplaced image names matters for all skins. Hope this helps someone like me.

Wanted to post separate, feel free if deemed worthy to move to Daves tutorial, if he wants too!
In case you were thinking that.

I dunno.... I think they broke the mould when they created you... 
looks like you did a great job mastering all that DT1....

Thanks Sydneysiders, I am sure they broke something, I know I have!
Ross, FYI for all of us unaware. If you right click on the rainmeter and choose Manage skins, you can add a skin folder and it will create an rmskin file for you , Brian.

I'll try to keep updated in the OP, but please help me a bit with that: Uvah, DT1, and anyone submitting skins to the project, please pm me when you have the link to the appropriate Gallery. It would be helpful if it were in the form used in the OP.
Thanks.

Have a small (or big?) favor to ask of someone. Anyone, really:
Take a screenshot of not just the main Blind, but also, if possible, a few of the other skinned apps up and visible but (and here's the caveat) I need it as a PNG, totally transparent background, no wallpaper backing.
If anyone could do this it'd be fantastic. ♥
Can post it here, or send to my e-mail: matchbook at email dot com.

Just to clear up a few questions , I wanted to explain that I had actually uploaded my IconPackage and matching media icon collection before the community project had really gotten off the ground. Therefore, there was no mention of the Metal Tech community project in my descriptions , it was just luck that it was a close match to the project theme. You all have done such a fabulous job on this project and your work is stunning to say the least. I've listed my links here in hopes it will make it easier for folks to find additional choices for customizing their Metal Tech suites. Thank-you so much for the mention in the project , it's really nice to feel like a part of the community. -- Ace --

Not really sure how one would do that.
It would be easier to send someone the wall you make, have them do a screenshot, and send back to you.

OK, Tom told me how he'd do it, so, what size do you need? My res is 1920 x 1080.

I suppose one of two (though may be more ways) ways:
- Rectangular marquee tool. Lots of it.
- Use Magic Pink as desktop background for a moment, snap the screenshot, remove magic pink in editor of choice.
Though, of course, I hadn't expected either to be done - would just make what I'm doing easier. ♥
(Size wouldn't matter)

So helpful Jim! Glad to see you bounce back into top form.
You made so many contributions to this project, you must be feeling pleased, you should. Great stuff, from another WC member!

I'd like to say that I didn't realize until now that the speakers on the media player can't be repositioned separate of the player, once in gadget form. I'll need to look into that in future versions. I may update this if I can figure out how to fix that.
