Ideas for a Community Theme Project - Holiday Edition

from WinCustomize Forums

I have been wanting to help organize a new community theme project for quite a while.  With the holidays rapidly approaching, and the fact that Christmas is one of the most popular skinning holidays, I would like to propose a community project around that.

What do you say?

My idea, subject to further input from the community.

Christmas/Winter Holiday Theme Pack

This would include at the minimum:

  • WindowBlinds theme
  • DesktopX Theme
  • DesktopX Gadgets
  • CursorFX theme
  • Dreams
  • RightClick Skins
  • Icons (IP or just some dock icons)
  • Wallpapers

At the end this would all be wrapped up in a Theme Manager suite.

My thought is a minimal-type theme that will appeal to a broad range of people, yet have a big influence of holiday colors or design. 

What we need?

I need a Project Manager who will help coordinate skinners and their activities.

We also need ideas for a unique name plus design ideas.

September 28th Update:

Here is the current list of people who have signed up to participate.  Aside from the WindowBlinds theme as we want to keep it consistent, several people can create themes of the same type as long as they stay within the theme.

Current skinners list:

WindowBlinds – Xiandi (Completed)

DX Theme – Redneckdude

DX Gadgets – Redneckdude, Island Dog

Dreams – CarGuy1

Theme Manager Suite – Philly0381

ObjectDock – MIrsguy

RightClick – Mirsguy, bk13GarbageMan

Wallpaper – DEVJIT, skyzyk

Sysmetrix – Fuzzy Logic

Vista Logons - skyzyk

Screensavers – Jimbo9294

CursorFX – ChaosMoth

If I missed anybody, or if anything needs to be updated just let me know.

Not speaking for Spencer but I would say yes.  I suggest Thanksgiving as a not later than date and Spencer said it sounded like a good target date.  Replies #209 and #211.

it would also help that when foks upload your skins that in the description you tell what it was tested on.  For instance I'm not able to get Rightclick to work on Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.  It would let folks know what skins to download for thier OS.
