In keeping with the finest of traditions I attribute to the great skinners of the WC community. I have but a single question. With all the jibe about curried cabbage what would a WB look like if someone would dare make one using the now infamous 'curried cabbage' as a theme. Any takers?
Sorry Doc.
Damn double posts!!
yeh...what does a Doctor know?

STODGY!!!!!!?????????!!!!!!!!!!!
GRRRrrrrrrr.
Here is the TOXIC style. Green, Red, Toxic. No stodgy. No unicorn-rainbow substyle. No aero substyle.
Looking good, Po! I really like the 'little' explosion on the bottom.
PO...... man ! Your art work is awesome but the angled start menu probably won't resize very well.Dont shoot me though cause I love the concept but we need some straight sides somewhere to stretch.
With curried cabbage involved it needs to be bigger....MUCH BIGGER.
I see.
Don't be ridiculous. There's too many witnesses.
I'm gonna try one or two more changes to this to make it workable before I go back to the square one. What about this one?
I couldn't get it or the one I sent you (the second version) to size right. Was it me or is either workable?
I'll be back.
The explosion idea is spot on! It should resemble a nuclear detonation. Say about.......150 gigatons. That'll ruin your day in a hurry. Is that good starkers
For comparison: A 15 kiloton can level a city (Hiroshima, Nagasaki).
A 20 megaton will make an island vanish (Bikini Atoll).
A volcanic eruption (a really good analogy) such as Krakatoa was the equivalent to ten thousand such. That was heard round the world.
Or...A star (blue giant) 10,000 times more massive than the sun implodes and creates a black hole. That should be big enough eh what?
How about this? (And would it be possible to animate the fans?)
*I should have used a background for this preview. The curry windows are semi-transparent.
Krakatoa was but a tom thumb fire cracker compared to one of my better super duper, fuel injected, turbo charged, triple heavy duty curried cabbage barks.
Dunno 'bout a black hole, more like brownish with a green twinge after a bowl of curried cabbage.
I'm not sure if I should hold my breath now, while waiting for this or after it is released.
I suggest BOTH... he is hoeing into bowls of curried cabbage for inspiration/to help get into the spirit of things.
OMG, there goes the neighbour hood
Perfect!!
Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like the fan idea, Po'... specially since it'll be.... cool!
The brown with the green twinge would be the event horizon unless of course you prefer a 'naked' singularity. If yes to that then you'd have to get with vStyler to come up with a spinoff from his naked WB. Only problem with that is it would be soooooooooo small. Less than the period at the end of this sentence. But...I think vStyler's up to it . Don't shoot me please.
The fan idea will probably be essential because if starkers BARKS are as deadly as he says we're gonna need them to disperse the toxic clouds. Wait a minute...if a .Dream is added to it a fan can blow the cloud across the screen and maybe a group representing all of us running away? Or maybe cowering inside a fallout shelter or something. Just a thought.
I need to clean up one or two little things before I try to apply it. I will try to get as far as I can before I come humbly begging for help.
The rest of you...if you skin something particular (WALLS, DREAM, dx, od..) you're gonna get hit up soon.
No experience, but I'll try to do...(what else?)..."docks". I'll need the graphics to try to do that (and a great teacher....hmmmm....I'm thinking of a certain WebGizmos who's the best dock maker around).
Here are the start panels (without the extras graphics) so you can get an idea of the substyles. If everyone's cool with them..I'll be forging ahead.
Iiiiii like it. Really Good Stuff Po.
Don't let me stop you.
Yeah, looking good, Po`.... you certainly have a way with graphics, cos these look great and are a lot of fun to boot. The curried cabbage thing started out as a joke and purely as a bit of fun, and these start panels, graphics surely do reflect that.
However, while curried cabbage gas.barks are a fun thing, there is a more serious side - the noxious fumes - so maybe we should retain the original (more sinister) sub-style as a sombre reminder to the hazardous and toxic aspects associated with the curried cabbage bark. I mean, we can't have people totally oblivious to the possible public outcry to an inadvertant public bark thinking it's ALL fun, then have their neighbours running them outta town cos they didn't take precautions... and a gas cloud comparable to the Los Angeles smog isn't just gonna get 'em run out o' town... it could end up in an angered public lynching.
You are nothing if not relentless.
Once you take out the red and put in the curry brown, it's not quite as menacing.
And because of my lack of skills with windowblinds, I am not sure it's entirely workable or how the cabbage would stretch. I added the SUPER ATOMIC version in the SS above. I may tweak it some JUST for you...cause I'm funny that way and you have always been such a great supporter.
I suppose I should be grateful you haven't asked for a pirate version.
Thats OK I gotcha covered!!
Ok...I'm in agreement also...looks good. Needs the 'atomics' imho.
So Po'... send the graphics. I'll get started with the "Doc's docks" when I get them...if y'all agree I should make 'em.
