Quoting Philly0381,
reply 650

Hope Uvah comes here to let you know what he wants to do.  The reason I brought it up was that all skins where supposed to have the project reference in the description.  Sorry.

Did you mean were, Philly? I ask because of my thread, and I see no reason to add anything more to the urls. I think you mean some tags to enable folks to search more efficiently? 

@DT1: Brian, could you pm me with the urls for the skins when tou complete them so I can update the WC News thread? Thanks.

John, no problem at all. If it's changed now Doc will have to do it as there is a main new thread now. Won't matter if it's changed here or not really.

Not sure what you mean either John. It has the program listed, person and link. The title of the thread tell you what everything is for. Anymore would only junk it up. That's just my thoughts as we all have our own.

Dave I was referring to the description on the skins download page not showing a reference to the community project.  Even the title of the skin does not have Metall Tech in it.

@DT1 - I got the rainmeter but its in a .zip folder. Can you do the .rmskin one. I can unzip a .rmskin but changing a .zip to the other extension doesn't work. I need to see it on my screen.

Rainlendar file

This represents my Rainlendar and it's settings only, although, the misplaced image names matters for all skins. Hope this helps someone like me.

In case you were thinking that.

Thanks Sydneysiders, I am sure they broke something, I know I have!

 

Ross, FYI for all of us unaware. If you right click on the rainmeter and choose Manage skins, you can add a skin folder and it will create an rmskin file for you , Brian.

I'll try to keep updated in the OP, but please help me a bit with that: Uvah, DT1, and anyone submitting skins to the project, please pm me when you have the link to the appropriate Gallery. It would be helpful if it were in the form used in the OP.

Thanks.

Have a small (or big?) favor to ask of someone. Anyone, really:

Take a screenshot of not just the main Blind, but also, if possible, a few of the other skinned apps up and visible but (and here's the caveat) I need it as a PNG, totally transparent background, no wallpaper backing.

If anyone could do this it'd be fantastic. ♥

Can post it here, or send to my e-mail: matchbook at email dot com.

Just to clear up a few questions , I wanted to explain that I had actually uploaded my IconPackage and matching media icon collection before the community project had really gotten off the ground. Therefore, there was no mention of the Metal Tech community project in my descriptions , it was just luck that it was a close match to the project theme. You all have done such a fabulous job on this project and your work is stunning to say the least. I've listed my links here in hopes it will make it easier for folks to find additional choices for customizing their Metal Tech suites. Thank-you so much for the mention in the project , it's really nice to feel like a part of the community.          -- Ace --

Not really sure how one would do that.

It would be easier to send someone the wall you make, have them do a screenshot, and send back to you.

OK, Tom told me how he'd do it, so, what size do you need? My res is 1920 x 1080.

Not really sure how one would do that.

I suppose one of two (though may be more ways) ways:

  1. Rectangular marquee tool. Lots of it.
  2. Use Magic Pink as desktop background for a moment, snap the screenshot, remove magic pink in editor of choice.

Though, of course, I hadn't expected either to be done - would just make what I'm doing easier. ♥

(Size wouldn't matter)
