What are you "working" on?

What are you "working" on?

I was just curious to know what everyone is working on at the moment.  I was wanting to make a Valentines Day widget, but I don't think I will have time to finish it before then. 

If you have any "teasers", feel free to post them if you wish.

A WB I'm calling "Orange Crush"...it's black and...uhhhh, orange, as the name implies. The wall is a Bryce rendering...lots of depth, super dooper glass and you guessed it...orange! It's about finished...just adding the little details and making the final fixes throughout so instead of a screeny peek, look for the real thing in a day or so...

Studying some PSP tutorials. It's time I actually learn to use it for more than making Sputnik ports. If anyone has any recommendations...

Oh and I have plans for (read as "have not started") a multi-mode Sputnik Rainlendar port.

A few of many on the go. Left to right.

Green Folder - Folder Creator for organizing icons
Folder Icon Changer - Streamlined code & added commenting option
Folder Tagger - Add tags to each folder
Slot Machine - Taking a break on this one & need to make my own symbols
Dx Flip Clock - This is pretty much done just needs to be cleaned up & I think one slight code change

I've been just trying to remember where I last buried my dog bone.   I guess I'll do some more SS's of all this great stuff you guys are working on. Later.

Oops forgot about this one. Actually, was kind of doing this on spec to shop around but, giving a basic fully opened view. When closed cab be either an eye, glossy globe style cover or eye with shaded transparency.

Working on a skin for a program that isn't skinnable just yet...

It's sort of a program manager for usb flash drive PortableApps">Link

Working on a Heavy Equipment skin for it, since I'm involved in [link="https://forums.wincustomize.com/?aid=137459#1101555"]Updating the biggest suite ever made : Heavy Equipment

The skinning is very limited at the moment but I'm gonna make suggestions to improve it.

Here's what I've got so far

i really like this Dragonmage, but why are the icons not shown in their fullness?

Skinhit, this thing isn't fully skinnable yet. I'm making suggestions to them. The icon thing was one of them. Currently I think they Have to be special sized.

I got alot of stuff I'm working on. problem is that I'm always working on them and not finishing them.

The very latest is this little concept I jsut started on. Just the basics at the moment. Need to add details so it's not just another black glass thingy. I was planning on adding the style to my Underground gadget.

I few of my in progress WB skins for the last few years. Still doing bits and bobs on them. I just can't stand the SKS work. Love the PS work though.



Also been working on updating my only ever released WB, dating back to 2001? or something like that....



This has been my long lasting DX project. It features hexagonal buttons which acts as shortcuts and status/information objects. They snap to each other on each six sides. And when an object snap to another they automaticly form groups, so when you move the object again the whole group of objects move with it. And I'm making controller objects, so some objects can hide/unhide groups. The difficult part is modulizing the code to be resuable for the differnet types of buttons. Whole thing inspired by the Zion Control Room from Matrix.
One of my old optional concept for the DX theme was this: Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

thomassen, I dig those first 2 blinds a lot, and those DX objects are awesome. Are you still working on the DX theme?
Reply #41 Top
Yes, everything is being worked on. It's just being worked on in several small phases as I get time. the problem is that I'm trying to make it customizable that you don't have to load up DX builder to add shortcuts and whatso might be there. I think I need to focus on making the basic features first and then add bits as it go along. But to do that I need to make a solid base first. My current job is ending in February, so there might be some time before I get a new job alloing me to put in some time to push forward a first release. No promise though. I'm currently working with the white theme though.

I've been working on a few DesktopX plugins. The latest one is a scripting plugin that exposes Vista Glass color control to scripts.

I quickly put together a widget to test it. It's not doing a lot right now, but maybe others might find it usefull. Maybe I'll build a widget that change glass color according to misc events (weather, time, season, etc.) if I have the time.



It's also using another plugin I built that allows objects to react to mouse wheel events. I think CerebroJD & Zubaz are working on widgets using it.

That's great! We could do with some more plugins.
