What .::THEMES::. would you like to see?
Friday, March 14, 2003 by joetheblow | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have seen many requests for a skin or a suite design. Most of the time the question is asked in a way that, to put it mildly, offends the artists who they are asking.
Ex:
Can someone make a Clark Kent theme for me? I have not talent and no time to do it.
Believe it or not, that statement implies that skinning is "easy" for artists or that skinners can do it "in a flash".
If you wonder why people get upset (on both sides) it is usually because of this and the misunderstanding of what is being said by the asker (different cultures ask for things in different ways...)
Skinning takes art, knowledge of programs, and code, plus testing. Many skinners want to produce quality skins, especailly since thier name is going on it. ( I usueally test for 2 weeks and on different OS platforms before release )
I shall restate the example question:
EX:
I would like to know if anybody is making a Clark Kent theme. If not, is there anyone willing to put it in there plans do so?
Also don't get mad if no one answers. It probaly means no one wants to do it. (of which is your answer)
Keep in mind also it takes time to complete such a task.
Don't be scared to make your own!!
If the ability to "fix" skins is implemented, you could do something fantasicly ugly and maybe someone, one day, will fix it to look better. You can also load up your graphical idea here under the area WindowBlinds skin Ideas: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=18&WindowBlinds%20skin%20designs=on
There are other areas as well for graphic uploads that could be used for ideas. (Try not to come up with stuff that would be a copywrite enfringment. No Britney Spears boobs or BeYounce in a skirt)
So, since we are here, what would you like to see? Animals? Cheese, Triangles? Skin based on a car? Insects, Movie? I know newbies must have some requests. I have some too (but I want a crack at making them first
)

Blue make it blue, James Bond Theme...
With a silver PPK for the Cursor and what could we use the CAR (BMW z8) or Aston Martin... Sounds like fun i wish i knew how, i am having enough trouble just trying to make one blue sphere icon. The tutorials are very confusing.

I'd really love to see an updated version of Capsula for WB4
Maybe even a winstyle of it, including a matching Sysmetrix skin.
