The latest Community Project. One Hundred : A Tribute to Boxxi

from WinCustomize Forums

Hello again

I would like to re-announce to the Community the latest on the tribute suite to BoXXi. We have now voted and with input from BoXXi and from the community it is decided that instead of building a suite from an existing BoXXi work ( fruitloops ) , we will now complete what would have been BoXXi's 100th submussion to WC.

The skin the commiunity has chosen will be One Hundered.

I have uploaded the source to https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=955&libid=18

I now ask the following for volunteers for the following:

Windowblinds

Iconpackager/Dock icons

Dock Backgrounds

DesktopX gadgets (Weather/clock/calendar)

Media player skins (Xion/Winamp/WMP)

Application skins ( Rainlendar/Sysmetric )

I would like to take this opportunity to invite any and all skinners , coders , testers and anyone that can help out to contribute to help out . If you have code or graphics you would like to build your skin around , or to allow this project to use , it would be appreciated.

If someone on the IRC channel has a 24x7 connection , it would be appreciated if a channel #onehundred could be created so we can come in and chat about our ideas.

I would also like to ask that this thread be stickied / an article created for it.

I'll edit this post as we get more into the project.

It needs no reminding , but this is Our tribute to BoXXi.

 Edit:

So far we have

Xion=zakai

Sysmettrix/Rainlendar Xiandi

WB/Wall = kitty

DX stuff = Puter

Dock BGs  = WebGizmo

Desktop Sidebar = mikeb1954

LogonXP/Rightclick = Pix3lSlay3r

Winamp Classic = me

Icons/Cursors = kitty/skinhit(???)

Thats real good in keeping with the windowblind theme RickJP :D 
I would have volunteered for the logon but I can only do XP not Vista and I probably would have liked to use Kitty's wall for it, but thats just me, I like the booter, logon and wall to match but it can go either way  :CONGRAT:

kitty . . wouldn't the top frame look more cohesive if the curve on the left of the min button matched the curve of the right side of the  . . um . . title text thingy.

Noiram Re ;- Logons have both xp and vista so if you do the Logon may well be able to do Vista version for you. Depends how you do it but for vista just need background file to point program at and it makes the Logon.

RickJP - Maybe you could make it or I could but I definately would want it to match the boot, what do you think ?
Reply #111 from WinCustomize Forums Top
Feel free to do it. Wall would look good for boot and logon. Not sure how good I could get it once down to 16 colours..




Not bad but I think more chance I would mess it up tiding it up than improve it.

I really like those scrollbar arrows, Kitty. Nice touch! :CONGRAT:

Oh, BTW, When you get done with the button controls, could you send the blind to me so I can get started on my stuff? Thanks!

RickJP, I think you are right, we would'nt want to trash that beautiful wallpaper on a booter, should stick to your original in reply #103. Thankyou for the preview of both. Reply #111 is beautiful and very good work but we would probably do better with your original idea sticking to the windowblind theme  :CONGRAT:

That's a very cool wall, Brickhead!  :CONGRAT: 
Reply #121 from WinCustomize Forums Top
Thats really nice Brickhead, I like the 100 block and the BoXXi block you've added in, very nice touch :CONGRAT: 

Thankyou Kitty, I've been trying to recreate some images from the wb shot you posted, not sure I have the colors correct.

RickJP, you may have to make the vista version of the logon although I'll be happy to do the xp.

Brickhead: awesome wall.  My favorite.

Reply #123 from WinCustomize Forums Top
i suppose it makes sense to have two walls so people can decide which one they would rather have with the skin........ its fine with me
Reply #124 from WinCustomize Forums Top
Brickhead : What would the 'Boxxi' cube look like if the text was the same colour as the 100 cube ..Just wondering ... I am slightly colour blind and I always use the Page Magnifier to see screenshots...until I did I did not even see it ..

Its a fantastic wall , for sure ...
