ICK! :( Any WB skinners willing to test for me?

Sunday, April 6, 2003 by Angel_Wings | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I hate to beg but I'm getting frustrated!

Can someone or two-someones or how many ever someones please test my skin? It's only 75% done (mostly just some minor buttons and coloring left as well as some tiling and transparency probs) but I think there is some major crud wrong with it already. Great salespitch for testing something, I know!

The url to download it is at: http://www.darkseraphim.com/AquaBlue.wba

YOU HAVE BEEN FOREWARNED!

PLEASE if you do decide to test this for me (which I will appreciate immensely) please make a backup in XP or something... YES, I'm paranoid but I've never made a WB skin before! Hey, better safe than sorry. It works fine on MY puter but I have NO idea otherwise.

BTW, I don't want to know anything 'good' about it at ALL. I want to know everything wrong/crappy/icky about it! There is NO way I'm gonna up this thing until I can get as many funky things worked out as possible beforehand. So just let into me with both barrels!

Any and all input even 'harsh' reality is good for me! This kind of serious stuff needs it and I don't EVER want someone's puter to wig out because of something STUPID I did.

With that said, I hope someone can brave it! ))))))))))))))))))

Check the mouse over graphic on the start panel. Shows fine (dark blueish) on start panel, but does not port well to object bar (shows black) Maybe same bug as #58.

Angel_Wings thanks everyone ever soooo much for their generous time spent on my silly skin and gives a big (((((((((HUG)))))))))))) and wet, sloppy kiss!

If you find more stuff that needs fixin'...just state it here and I'll see it later! All of this input is VERY important to me as I don't want to jump the gun and send out a skin with tons of problems!

Love & warm, happy vibes,

AngEla

Umm, I got this on Kazaa and was wondering if you would send me a free version of all of the software on
your computer and anyone else who even knows you?
Don't want to be a bother, but can I have all of it in the next five minutes?

General?!!!!!!!!! I'll be.
Yes, I know you were kidding.
I used to be into that Kazaa stuff, but I turned over a new leaf and got rid of all the pirated stuff. It was painful, but I sleep a lot better at nights.

That's fine with me. At least I know I'll get my daily ration of chocolate.

Okay, Shmoops... I'm using your skin and the only thing I don't like are the top right buttons...
I like the color and the glossy, glassy look but just not that part of the skin.
Is this helpful to you at all? I don't like to criticize, just thought I should be honest.

You guys are crackin' me up!

Hmm. Well, JM...I like my buttons but that's probably personal taste. Daughter loves them too... But thank you for trying it out 'fer lil' ol' me!
(((BIG HUG)))

General indeed! )))))))))))))))))!

Well, after much scratching of head and gnashing of teeth (Skinning HELL)...! I have my skin in actual "BETA" stage!

Almost everything I could skin, has been skinned...so now it's a matter of compatibility issues and stuff that I might need to put in as a 'disclaimer' to folks in my upload notes (such as...only WB 3.0 and for XP etc.).

Sooooo... If anyone wants to try my update it's at: http://www.darkseraphim.com/AquaBlue.wba

Note: OH! Be sure to delete the original AquaBlue folder in the WB skins dir. because it doesn't always overwrite itself.

Anywayyyyyyyyy, thank you guys so much for pitchin' in and takin' risks on my account! You folks is da bestest!

I'm still using the "original" file and still no problems. You need to update to WB4 so you can skin the "Turn Off Computer".

bordfryr123, I skinned the Turn off computer thingy too even though I can't see it to test it... I'm waiting for WB4 to be released today...I was having troubles with the alpha versions so had to stick with 3.41 for now. My current skin looks a bit better and I animated the start button just a little bit.

Thanks for being my tester!

Doreen is curious & nosey about this wb, is there a ss? or did I miss it somewhere, (I don't have wb's on this machine since I reformatted a while back, & too lazy to reinstall) but you got me curious!

I went ahead and installed version "3" and I see the logoff screen (turn off computer) is skinned now. What happened to the start button?
I liked the original one better.
