Ideas for a Community Theme Project - Valentines Day Edition

from WinCustomize Forums

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.  :-" :sun:

Karen, the men know it they just don't admit they know. It's like selective hearing.

I need beta testers!  My access to XP is rather limited (kid's computer---he works a totally different shift than I do), and I have NO access to Vista, so I'd like comments, suggestions, -- rip 'her to shreds, be brutal.  I've had the kid glove treatment long enough. (k10w3 really would like a promotion soon).  I've uploaded it here:

I still need to make the XP file transfer animations and the interface loading animation.  That's going to have to wait until next week when I don't have to work again.

We really need to name this thing...I'm at a standstill until we do.

Edit...

My favorites out of the suggestions so far are...

Valentino

My Dirty Valentine

I just tested the skin on windows 7. Not being a total expert it sure looks great to me on my desktop. I have a background with water and mountains. Have to say with the blue water and red taskbar the 3D effect is unbelievable. Wonderful job to all.

Okay, 'My Dirty Valentine' is the name of the Theme.  :sun:

I want to encourage other skinners to join in the project.  :-"

If you would like to add a skin like Rainlendar, Winstep, SysMetrix or Xion please leave a comment. 

If some one has volunteered to do a skins but you would like to do s second one, like RightClick or ObjectDock leave a comment. 

The only thing that is required is that you do use the graphics of the project theme.

Come on folks, join in, the more skins the better, and we are looking at this for XP, Vista and Win 7.  :sun:
