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.

that's cool teddy... it really is quite a versatile blind...

RedneckDude
I like the blind and could work with it. Is bleumart interested?

no idea... just formulated the idea and seeing if there is any interest, then we can ask... no good getting too ahead as it seems like interest in this thread has just really dropped off unfortunately.....

 

RedneckDude
You volunteering to manage the effort?

well.. I don't know about being much of a manager... but would certainly be around prodding/prompting/suggesting/supporting/screenshotting.....

and let's not forget.... cheerleading...         

 

but really... it should be fairly simple... the blind is there... if bleumart makes available his graphics by dropbox or whatever suits everyone... skinners can just take it from there and post their progress if they wish to and upload with permission if given by bluemart.... should be pretty straight forward... just do a list of contributors as we always do... and hope to get a few more interested along the way....

could be a bit of a mentoring exercise as well... anyone wishing to crossover train/learn a new application could work alongside an experienced skinner in that field..

All of the above!

@tbc: Another smx I'm sitting on. Needs a little tweaking though. Its called Multipurpose.

BTW: I sent bluemart a PM

From whatever start-menu is made, I will base my wallpaper.  

I will then, conceptually at least, have a better-than-fantastic grasp of the project. I do consistently check this thread, for updates, to see what's going on and, where need be, will give input.

Keep it goin'.

Have plan , go forward, no place for a skinner{another}.

 

Kinda bummed, but oh well. Congrats Denis.

Reply #125 Sunday, February 23, 2014 5:17 AM

still just an idea doortech... and always room for another skinner...no need to be bummed...  do you skin any other applications?... wanna learn?

this was just an 'interim' idea to get something going for people who were poised....  and shortcut the lengthy process a bit...

don't know as yet if bleumart would be interested... just testing the waters...  seems Jim and teddy and Uvah and Matchbook are on board... how 'bout you?

you seem to know bleumart/Denis... what say you point him in this direction and see if he's interested?...

So, you already lost the original skinner.

No one else volunteers a wb for a project, and I will add , i mentioned bluemart awhile back, so you wait until another skinner adds his thoughts and spends time on trying to get something going, and you dismiss me for a skinner that has had opportunity to join in all along. Really makes one feel part of things.

 

That said, I do not want to rain on any parade and want to see a project get done,

So, whatever you do, am rooting for a good  result.

You go Denis, and don't forget about destrohelix,!

if you mean neone... we didn't 'lose' him... he chose to depart...

certainly not 'dismissing' you... was just a suggestion for an 'interim' project... but certainly not worth it if it will create ructions & hurt feelings..absolutely not what this whole exercise is supposed to be about... we'll leave it be...

continue on doortech..  keep the ideas coming...

I am not so much hurt as not sure where I fit here.I to date have offered for all projects, my help, since my arrival, with no success. I was .am as new as any new skinner and would have loved that support for my work.

 

I am not sure how you all see me? A newbie, and oldie, a nobody, a sucky skinner, honestly not sure , so these failed efforts to join in just hit hard.

I encourage you to follow the Metal Tech idea, or Armada, needs a seven version though, and know you all will do a good job for all to enjoy.

 

 

As for Andy, it was a group failure.

 

Lack of direction for the project and to much hurry up,and yes,bad comments posted , including mine.

We are okay Syd, at least on my end, I know you are community oriented, so cheers and I will keep tabs on this project for support!

Whatever that is.Go Team, or something,lol.

C'mon Bluemart, people are waiting for you!

 

You have skins to make, and work to do, get out of bed and see it through!

So, is sound packager or what ever it is called still going and is it tough to learn, I could try some sounds. Someone should make a package anyhow if doable.

 

Then a Cursor and all that other good stuff, any volunteers if we get Denis in?

Sounds as if RND would go forward with a sysmetrix.

Walls abound!

 

Maybe a WB.

Bleumart probably made icons!.

 

How about a dream, a dock,Uvah on a sysmetrix?, Dave Bax, you got several talents, jump in.

 

After feeling sorry for me for half an hour, I am good now, please keep going. [e digicons]:'([/e]

Lack of direction for the project and to much hurry up

well...the direction wasn't going too badly.... it was more 'understanding' and 'communication' issues... neone didn't seem to understand that as a community blind, people do have input to critique design as it goes along and come up with alternatives... and play around with them until there is agreement...then proceed to the next step... it was just 'his' way.. he's a one man band... and that's fine.. just not a good fit for a community effort and he didn't seem to hear what people were saying to be guided... a shame..

The communications issue was we were not understanding that that mock up graphic with the yellow flowers was not his work... as he had jumped down bk33's throat for the 'accusation'... Had he acknowledged that clearly, then we wouldn't have been pressing for it's return... just making adjustments to the new graphics that copied the scene which would have suited everyone..eg..flower colour change and it would have been easy to change the flower colour in ps..

It's a shame it didn't go ahead but as with any endeavour that doesn't succeed it's important to understand why it didn't work so history does not repeat itself... so, understanding, communication and cooperation are paramount for success and enjoyment of the project... 'cause that's the main aim..enjoyment...

doortech1
so these failed efforts to join in just hit hard.

there should be no failed efforts to join in.... just jump in... the more the merrier... choose something to do... doesn't matter if someone else is already doing one... often in v's accessories there would be 2 Xions or 2 Rainlenders or 2 clocks or a couple of sets of docks...numerous wallpapers... there is no limit...

What other applications do you do?... or what would you like to learn?

  he's already done his bit.. the blind's made... 'Metall Tech' hence the shortcut...     but great if he wants to help build on the suite too....

but we do need his agreement and permission... don't know if he visits this thread though.. might need a nudge from his mate...  

Sound packager sounds good...

Thanks Syd, you all will have your hands full without trying to teach me a new skinning area such as sysmetrix or dx.

I will just enjoy from the back  seat.If I think of something to contribute I will. Maybe a folder for the finished file,lol.

 

And no, bluemart needs substyles , 6 or 7 of them!Well , okay maybe not.

 

Dave chats with Denis,I say, Um Mr. Baxter, where are you.

This is true only because they were Vampothikas all along. You´re implying they were not made by either of us and that´s just plain misinformation. The yellow flowers Were made by Vampothika, we just decided to move on.

Reply #136 Sunday, February 23, 2014 8:30 AM

Okay, I sent bleumart a pm also, hope he comes in.

 

What the hell is a rainlender? who wants rain lent to them.

then recreating the 'whole little scene'.. not just the flowers...was a very strange decision... and a lesser job visually/graphically...... bewildering as to why you didn't listen to so many people asking for their return...

anyway...moving on..

C,mon, stay on track with new idea, no sidebars please.

Old news, dead news.

Misquotes, misinterpretations, all old and done. Healing with new concept, all is good.

 

Really. A log on, people use them still? Hmmm.

I will explore.Man I wish I could make an skin for a different area, sucks to suck man.

Uvah, are you gonna come on board also, I hope.

 

Lightstar, what are you up to, you probably skin everything, wanna help. Take a break from skinning to do some skinning.

Any of you, new or old, experienced or new, wanna join in just offer up.

What the hell is a rainlender?

Rainlendar is the little date/event/to do application... I use it all the time... I've skinned it, for private use... try it.. download one and check it out...pull it apart and see how it works...

Rainlendar gallery...  link..

Download Rainlendar...   link..

yes... I always have one on... better than the one provided when you have multiple users... 

gallery...   link..     no challenge to make these day... but a nice addition to a suite...
