Object Dock background request

from WinCustomize Forums
Okay, I've seen, and enjoyed PHOENIXHEART's rare icon request post so we can all enjoy amazing icons from experts like PHOENIXHEART, Po'Smedley, Bandit4edu, etc... but I've seen many who request object dock backgrounds, and I would like that everyone can have a cool one to match their desktops.
I'm not that good at making them, but I know how to make them, but maybe cool designers like WebGizmos, Gooberbean28, and many other great skinners can help us out here, so if you would like one just tell us!

well dang...
I had tried 500x80 or there abouts plus a lot more sizes smaller.
kept trying increasing the outside borders which didn't work and kept running
in to the blankspace in the center.

It's one picture....it shouldn't be so hard!!!!!!

Looks good. Thanks Cavan. I'll have to work on a suitable desktop for May with them included.

I've failed at repeated attempts at a GalCiv2 ObjectBar background. Wanna take a shot at that?

Send me what you've worked on sofar at msn.com so I can get an idea of what your trying for and I'll give it a shot.

Now I have to start again so I can give you something.
My methodology was to take the elements from the game GUI (they are in dxpaxk format), take screenshots of them, drop them in MS Paint, try to line them up via modification of the Simple theme in SKS.

I will need to butcher from scratch to send you anything WG. I'll start again tonight.

Unfortunately I don't have the game...if I did I could rip it apart for parts. But gather together whatever you can...bits a pieces are fine...but the more the better...and I'll see what I can come up with. And maybe someone that does Objectbar stuff will come along as well and give it a shot.

Hey Web, how about a background to match ecliz windowblind?

Of course if it's not to much problem...
Reply #45 from WinCustomize Forums Top
No problem J.A.! As long as its aproved by the author.
Reply #46 from WinCustomize Forums Top
Thanks, Web I hope he does!

Ok J.A....I just took a look at that skin...and theres really not much to work with since its such a dark skin. I can make one, but it won't really be much of a dock since its also very plain looking. How about you take a crack at it...this one would be very easy and can be done with the MSPaint program. I'll even give ya pointera along the way if ya want to give it a try.

Double post.

Ok, I'll sure give it a try.
now working on it, I'll try to make a tab one, if I run to any problem I'll ask you, thanks

Hey Web, I did one, but I need someone to check it out.
Could you help me?
