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:

Philly had a great idea. I am going to embed a love songs radio playlist into the DX player. I have PM'd sViz on how to make it happen. I have it embedded but can't figure how to access it. Help is appreciated!  Thanks, Philly.

Carefull now, good ideas are only had by those folks who know what they are doing, I don't think I'm in that club yet.  :rofl:

I know I could attach it in the zip, but I don't want to make people browse for it. I also don't want to limit the player to it. I'm thinking of a seperate button that opens the media.

Another reminder to all, lets not forget about the members of the community that test your skins.  When I put up the suite I want to be able to identify those folks and thank them for being part of the project.  :sun:

I'm finished with the Windowblind -- just need to make the screenshots for the preview.  If anyone would like a pre-release copy, drop me a PM.

Want a copy of the Dream or the wall for that screenshot?

I was a little premature with that...when I tested it out on XP for the preview, I saw a few errors I need to correct but will shoot you off a copy when I get off of work tonight after I've made the corrections.

 is no one making an •Object Dock backgound ?

 :(

The embedding of the playlist won't work, according to sViz. I will include it in the zip so people can use it if they want. Just put it in your music folder and browse to it via the DX player when needed. Best I can do. She said I could do it if it were used in conjunction with the windows media player active x control, but that it would play automatically, and that isn't desired either.

I appreciate you trying Jim.  Including it in the zip sounds fine.  :sun:

What, this is not a contest DisturbedComputer this is a Community Project.  If you wish to try your hand at doing a dock background feel free to do.  The only requirement is to use the project graphics from the WB.  :sun:
