You seem to have some extra time on your hands so I'll ask you a favor ..... go here http://www.eyeball-design.com/fxzone/frames02.htm , practice some of the tutorials and make a windowblind that would make the GUI Gods shout from Mount Pixolympus. When and if you do I'm sure we will all comment on it and let you know what we think.

I just think you can use your free time more productively, you even made a screensaver, maybe you could put that tallent to work as animations in the WB.

Just a thought .. have a nice day

I LOVE animations
Before I discovered skinning I just sat around all day making .gif's
Yet I have been very productive today hehehehe
I made the coolest dx weather object known to mankind just now
it is an animated wallpaper that has a picture of a temple sticking out of some jungle in south america. when it rains outside then it lightning strikes near the temple - when it is sunny outside it is sunny at the temple - when it is night outside it is dark at the temple
it is SOOOOOOO cool I took one of Goku's weather objects and changed some of the scripting so there are only 7 states instead of 47

I turned the actual weather icon object into a 1024 by 728 picture with states for the different weather condidions and I changed the sky and the temple where needed to be realistic

Take screenshots of all 7 states and then reduce the sizes until they fit the screen. It may not look the best but In my opinion it is probably the best way to show it off. People will understand that the images are distorted. You want them to see as much as possible. Oh, and my screenshots are horrible so you may not want to listen to me.

Well latin, now I guess is the time to learn SS. I know what you mean though, it is a bit confusing for me too. My main problem is the graphics though, I am very new to all this as well and it's hard for me to find the time to practice practice practice. I'm meerly suggesting you practice while you have the opportunity is all. If I had the time I would be in PhotoShop all day trying to get it right but alas ... I work too much for PS perfection.


Keep trying with WB's, I'm sure you can do it. You seem to be doing everything else. Just turn on the music, pop a tic-tac and take your ridalin and I'm sure you will be able to sit there long enough to get it right.

Screenshots need the wall to be partly obscured to prevent re-use of the wall as a wall from the screenshot.

It's a copyright issue.

I have an idea!

Re...#18...read my comment.

 

Think twice before responding.

And reread my email.....ask your mother to explain it, if necessary.

That's pretty-well ALL of your comments.

They are either wrong [help], or just totally off-topic.
