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.

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.

I've been onboard, am onboard, will stay onboard until agreement is reached. You want to learn smx? I'll teach you, no problem. You want to learn Rainlendar? I'll show you that too. As for the others...aside from my fits and starts with docks...you best go with those in the know.

I'll commit to a few things when I see where this is going and life permits. When the basis for this effort is decided, I will commit to things, or not.
As of yet, Bleumart hasn't responded.
Dave, a suite can be put together by any of us. Yes, Philly had a flair for it, but he has lost interest, since Theme Manager doesn't work anymore and SD doesn't seem to be worried about it.

I still have interest in making suites and will return to making them when an appropriate software is available.

https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/iconpackager/1465/ ....A mini suite by "The Babes of Skinning". Well seems the links no longer work.
We had a lot of fun doing this. And the quality of 47songs and Boopish's skins are excellent. Anyway...now I must do the dishes!

Yes, there could be links on all the pages for everything. Never said I was perfect that's why you people are here.
Thanks for the music Barb.
OK, back to the theme.

I guess we are waiting to here from bluemart now, if he does not reply, any interest in the Armada skin?
And, I will give something like rainlender a try. Just glad we might get something planned.
Hey Dave, glad to hear from you, and you have been missed. By me, because you just say it plain.
Yes some unorganization, but we are laying the groundwork,and waiting for replies.I may need your help learning!
Good idea on the links Barb, just post links with all submissions.
Or, someone suggested earlier, I believe RND, to use a skin not a wb to build from.

Thanks Uvah, great of you to offer and I will need the help.
I just want to learn for now though not contribute a smx skin..Maybe after I make one and get opinions, then fix it, then maybe.
I will pm you when I have question, and I have question already! Talk soon, thanks again.

as well as complete suite screenies in the monthly desktop screenshot thread and the Screenshot gallery...all with links...
ideally it's better to have it done at the same time or round about the time that a blind is released... but, just means we have to play catch up and try and get the notice of those who have already downloaded as well... ![]()
looks like a very cool skin... if this project works out.. maybe that could be a next one, when 7 is completed..
perhaps it could get to be a regular thing that occasionally a blind is chosen to get the accessory skin makeover.. keep everyone busy and enthused..

Ok, does that mean yes, we can base the community project on your WB skin?
If yes, cool.

You rang? I'm around reading, just not commenting.
Ok, I will comment and my goodness don't anyone take anything the wrong way as I am happy to see something is still trying to take place.
I don't really chat with Denis as I believe the time I did spend advising and helping him is done now, but he knows if he gets stuck he can always ask me. You can see the results in his work. He even mentioned me in one of his comments on his WB page which I thought was very nice. I have spent a lot of time helping in people private but it's never mentioned and that is fine.
Back to the Community Project. There is a WB decided on, but is there? I don't know and that is not to knock a very nice WB, Metal Tech. There are other factors from everything I have read and observed over the years doing a project. The design of the WB, will it work with matching many other things to be made. Maybe it will but it would have to be from the frames as I can think of a few thing that all the cutouts on the startmenu wouldn't be able to be incorporated. However the WB can be used because the using the frame would be no problem.
Here is the problem I see. No one is actually saying what they would like to make as far as other skinning projects. No one has committed to anything specific and if they are thinking about it and have any question aren't asking. There are a few things that are actually pretty easy such as Rainlander as mentioned above.
So the thread is active but really no real activity from other people and that is needed. Well there is a little such as Wallpaper. One more problem. Lets say things start to improve and several things get made. In the past Philly would make a suite and it was all together. He doesn't do that anymore because of the program not being supported. So now you would have many different locations for things and a month after everything was uploaded most people visiting wouldn't even know there was a great combinations that matched.
I'm no expert on this for sure just throwing out what I see and hoping this thing takes off but having doubts because of the time it's already been visible with very little activity except for the same few. Only how i see it members not saying i'm correct.
