Ideas for a Community Theme Project - Valentines Day Edition

December 29, 2009 3:33 PM from

Okay folks, taking up from where Island Dog left off, Ideas for a Community Theme Project - Holiday Edition, I thought it would be nice to continue this with a Valentines Day Theme.

I haven't jumped out here and taken responsiblity for much of anything so i thought it would be nice to take the lead for a ommunioty project for a Holiday Theme.

What do you say?

My idea, subject to further input from the community.

Valentines Day Theme Pack with a Dream as being the core for the Theme

This would include at the minimum: (updated to show skin volunteers)

•WindowBlinds theme (for XP, Vista and Win 7) - k10w3

•DesktopX Theme - RedneckDude

•DesktopX Widgets - RedneckDude

•CursorFX theme - Vampothika

•Dream - CarGuy1

•Rainlendar - RedneckDude

•RightClick Skin - Nimbin

•ScreenSaver Skin (based on the Dream) - CarGuy1

•Icons (IP or just some dock icons) - Vampothika

•Object Dock backgound - RedneckDude, DisturbedComputer

•Wallpaper (based on the Dream) - CarGuy1

•Logons (based on the Dream) - CarGuy1

•BootSkins (based on the Dream) - CarGuy1

(If you would like to do a skin that is not listed please leave a comment on the thread)

At the end this would all be wrapped up in a Theme Manager suite, I have to do something.

We need ideas for a unique name plus design ideas for the Dream. If someone is all ready working on a Dream, all the more better.

Now, I'm a non-skinner so you folks need to let me know if there is enough time to pull this together for Valentines day. We are only talking a little more than five weeks as we should have it done in time for folks to use the theme. In that line of thinking the Theme probably should not just say Happy Valentines Day in words but show more of what Valentines Day means between two people who care about one another, if that makes sense.

Okay, so lets hear your thoughts.

Philly...from the PM...

I can do the dream, wall, vista logon, and the screen saver.

Since I'm on Win 7, I can't do the bootskin, but if someone wants to create one from the wall, it's fine with me.

Thank you Mike. Can we see what your idea for the Dream is?

This way the community can make some design suggestions.

Just had a thought on the name, it doesn't need to be in English, how about French or Italian or Spanish.

Hmmm, what is the language of Love?

Okay, so with CarGuy1 giving us a look at the Dream, I'm thinking something that looks like the Lace Doilies that grandmother used to put under everything for the WindowBlind.

What do you all think?

I think you're getting WAY to in touch with your feminine side, Philly.

I was thinking more grunge. We have a lot of really butch guys here at WC, and I don't think they would feel comfortable with gramma's lace doilies on their desktops. Of course I could be wrong....but I doubt it.

Well it is for Valentines Day, and as far as I know every male, whether they admit it or not has a feminine side.

So what exactly do you see as the style for the WB? Not quite sure what 'grunge' would look like.

Po'Smedley did an IconPackager for Valentine's day that is more of the route I was thinking. Like this: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=1447&libid=2

A little more hard edge, a little torn, and not so....prissy? Uppity? I don't know what you want to call it. Like Vampothika said...less soppy.

yeah less soppy otherwise it wont appeal to everyone. Im with karen, it needs a bit of grunge and wider appeal, if its just love hearts and er doilies, i cant see the mainstream appeal. me and karen were thinking of a deeper red, cranberry red is too pink and girlish.

Not what I expected, but then I'm not the skinner who has to do work putting the WB together. Lets see a screenshot of what you have in mind when you can.

I guess I'm just on old sentimental type of guy, comes with being over 60.

Can't wait to see it. I had started one for my Valentines Day Icons and never got anywhere with it.
