Skinners, Artists, Coders, and Testers Needed: Community Suite

Happy Birthday!!

https://forums.wincustomize.com/?aid=174881
from WinCustomize Forums

After the success on the Troll Thumping Day Suite some members of the Mother Thumpers are coming together to create the "Happy Birthday Suit(e)".

I envision this suite centered around a DX gadget that counts down to your birthday. On your birthday the gadget will prompt you to download the most recent incarnation of the suite components so for your special day, your desktop will celebrate with you.

At this point we have some components assigned to artists but this is a collaborative project and welcome input and assistance from everyone. Please jump in and help out if you'd like.

looking great mommaTee and sAARGe.


mommaTee what about maybe only desaturating the globe on the Network HD Offline icon instead of the entire thing? Just a thought.

Subtle globe reflection...


...or no?


The globe reflection will be on both the online and offline icons.

theAVMAN: looks great! I am looking forward to throwing that into a gadget. Just let me know when you've got the images ready :CONGRAT: Even if it's not the final set of images/layout, it's no problem. I can at least use the images for placeholders in that case.

Milksama . . is it possible to build a gadget so that it could be given away?  Let's say I know when Bichur's birthday is.  I want to add it to the widget and then give it to him.  He runs it and it sits in his systemtray or desktop counting away until it's go time.  On the day of (or the start of week of) it goes from minimode to maximode; always-on-top.  At X time on go-day it does it's magic and the user can pick what to skin.

Yep, this is possible. The easiest way to implement this would be to have a Const variable at the top of the script. I could try the Object.LocalStorage, but if I recall correctly, results were inconsistent. Rather than have it execute at a certain time, I can just have a two-part condition. Part 1, it's their birthday && part 2, the system is not idle (not positive I can retrieve data to determine this, but I'll see if I can).

*Just* what I was thinking!  ;)

Thanks for the vote and thanks for the praise :D !

My appologies to all.

I have had little to no time to skin as I have been over done at work. 80+ hrs a week. With no days off for a month.
I will at this time have to bow out of the DX Items as I have no time and or resources to build any. ( my skinning stuff is still on the main PC not my laptop.)

Again I appologize my friends, but alas time constrains me.

Another time another project hopefully.

Peace .. HG :)

I updated the DVD Drive icon. I thought the DVD was too big and I added a reflection to the drive.

I'm on a 6 week holiday! But the virus did take effect, and I can't use my computer. I completely reformatted the hard disk, and now I can't find the case for the correct WinXP Home Proffessional disc with a serial number matching the one on my PC. Oh well, got another 6+ computers in the house. But they don't have Photoshop Elements or Xion. The Xion skin is on my backup disc. My computer may be unusable for a while! It's 9:20 PM now; gotta go!
