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

Happy Birthday!!

By Posted February 6, 2008 08:49:15External Link
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.

First Draft

I like that 2of3 . . but wouldn't the glare in the upper left of the inside of the frame be affected by the (assumed) 3D shape?

maybe...... this is a nearly unaltered image from Harley's uploaded graphics. As they are his work, I didn't want to mess with it too much and deviate from the look of the blind. The balloons, they are mine

But as I said....first draft. I'll keep working on it

I realize what you might be talking about. I had "muted" the glare by putting an overlay of mauve over it. That shouldn't cover the edges of the frame as it ruins the rounded look.

This better?

July 6, 2008 17:45:38
you've lost me but I think 2nd looks better.
July 6, 2008 23:57:53
Looking good!

The fonts throughout the WB are a bit too large though and the italics on all the buttons hurts readability
