Skinners, Artists, Coders, and Testers Needed: Community Suite

Happy Birthday!!

https://forums.wincustomize.com/?aid=174881
from WinCustomize Forums

After the success on the Troll Thumping Day Suite some members of the Mother Thumpers are coming together to create the "Happy Birthday Suit(e)".

I envision this suite centered around a DX gadget that counts down to your birthday. On your birthday the gadget will prompt you to download the most recent incarnation of the suite components so for your special day, your desktop will celebrate with you.

At this point we have some components assigned to artists but this is a collaborative project and welcome input and assistance from everyone. Please jump in and help out if you'd like.

I'm gonna be inactive now for a few hours, and I'm sorry if I've been  irritating.
Nah!  It's all good.

By the way, I think your first attempt looks pretty effective...
Thank you.  The biggest trick for me was figuring out the limitations of paint.net.  Transparency is your friend with Xion.  You can do a lot with it.

Still in mod, but here are the new docks: V2.0

I know it's kind of hard to see the running indicator in the preview, but I didn't know what else to do :NOTSURE:

Let's be honest, they have a particular market; birthdays.  I think a few folks were waiting for the WB to be complete to finish their pieces.  Then we'll see if Island dog can feature it and then . .  we'll wait for the birthdays to roll in  :)

I think the blind looks good.  I ran it for a week and while it was significantly different from my usual style it was usuable and non-distracting.  I liked it.

I think this one will be a slow burn, not a rocket.  Thanks for all the hard work.  I consider it a success.

Thanks for all the hard work. I consider it a success.


I am happy with it and if you are as well then that it was a success!!

Thanks again for the opportunity Building outside of my normal style was good for me !

Thanks Zu :CONGRAT:

Ok I will upload the V2. It's just slightly more advanced than the original, but there will be updates. For now, here's a preview:

Any suggestions?

No need to upload until we all agree that it's done . .otherwise it's jsut more work for the moderators.

Your image is pointing to a local drive.  YOu need to upload it to a site like imageshack.us or photobucket and then insert the image path here.  How to upload

If the cake concept isn't working, you can try using the frame.png in the graphic pack supplied by theAVMAN
Reply #770 from WinCustomize Forums Top
I think that Frame.png might be a bit too big, but I could use LogShutDown.png instead, it's the right sort of shape.

And if I'm to start on that anyway I need a triangular play button. I can't seem to find a triangle tool in Elements...

I think you are going down a bad path.  Take a look at the top results here and try to match them: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?search=birthday

Think about color and style.  Try to fit in with what has been done before.

Woo Hoooo .. Got the WB at last ..Thanks Harley ..    :CONGRAT: 

 I can start working on the Sidebar now ...

( Mike cranks the Coffee Machine up ... empties his already overflowing ashtray ... and sits in wonder and amazement at Harley's WB .. then sobs quietly to himself ... when he realises it is purple and he is colour blind ... )
