[Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 12-22-2007 at 09:07 PM

Hiya,

I have started another skin, it has no name yet but it's temporarily called dashboard :P

I thought to myself, I won't show anyone it... but i've gone against myself :p

It's slow progress but it's coming along :)

[Image: attachment.php?pid=876847]

Opinions, tips would be great thanks :)


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Spunky on 12-22-2007 at 09:18 PM

Old... (already seen it :refuck:)

Nah, looks good though :P


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by warmth on 12-22-2007 at 09:42 PM

looks nice... but are those the Ev0's status icons :P???


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 12-22-2007 at 10:05 PM

Nope i made them in photoshop.


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by RebelSean on 12-22-2007 at 10:25 PM

Looks great, except the status icons :p. I think the current icons would look better :).


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by vikke on 12-22-2007 at 11:02 PM

Looks awesome, but keep the old status icons or import the ones from Ev0 (with Willz permission). :)

I was just kidding for all the "copyrights" problems we are having...:P

RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 12-23-2007 at 10:25 AM

Lol ok :P

I may end up changing the icons :/ I will have to see when its in the flesh :p


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by mattisdada on 12-23-2007 at 10:37 AM

Looking VERY nice! I love it! :D

When the skinning thing was first accounced, i invisioned something like that to be my first skin.... sorta turnend out diffrent...

Maybe my next skin will be more like i invisionend :P

Something that would make it look better is if you figure out if its possible to use two images for the top bar.

The first one being the wave going up, and then the second one being the cell(style) bar. That strtchs but the Slidey up thingo one stays exactly the same.

Itd look much better :)(Sorry if i didnt explain it well...im crap at explaining)


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Eddie on 12-23-2007 at 11:10 AM

I very much so like the look of the main window, the status icons remind me of something but im not sure what, is it colorizable or not? *-)


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Matti on 12-23-2007 at 11:11 AM

Woa! Looks very nice! :O
Make sure we can colorize it! :P


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 12-23-2007 at 12:14 PM

Yeah don't worry you can :p Tried and tested :)
I havn't done alot of it but all of it will be colourized :)

RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 12-23-2007 at 01:23 PM

NO! Leave your sexy status icons in, much better than the standard ones imo :P
RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Felu on 12-24-2007 at 03:02 AM

Don't forget 9.0 support this time, k?

And as I already told you, its awesome!


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 12-24-2007 at 11:31 AM

Yeah,
I will try to do it in 9.0 but I need to be able to install wlm 9.0 and wlm 8.5 and run them at the same time :p

Help???`


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 12-24-2007 at 11:35 AM

Oh and the new screenshot, colored red using the wlm's colour picker...

[Image: attachment.php?pid=877359]

Yeah, the logon window isn't quite finished yet :) But it's coming along!


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by aNILEator on 12-24-2007 at 12:23 PM

No need for sucha  big screenshot man, why do people post such huge list images we get the idea when it's slim :(


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 12-24-2007 at 12:24 PM

I advise you to use shoutbox.menthix.net/files to host your screenshots...
RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Shiny Rabbit on 12-24-2007 at 01:54 PM

wow, i would so use that assuming there are no patch incompatibilities

Well i havn't tested it with any patch's
RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by aNILEator on 12-24-2007 at 02:09 PM

Shiny Rabbit, as I explained before. Skins WILL replace any pre-patched  windows that have new definitions defined in the skin. So if he's replaced any definitions and possibly styles too then your pre patched messenger will not function/appear as it did before.


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 12-24-2007 at 03:20 PM

Well just so you all know, the pictures you have seen are not realy (yet) I have almost finished the logon screen, im a bit of a perfectionist lol

But hopefully the finished product will be good :)


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 12-29-2007 at 09:54 AM

Hiya guys, I am expecting this to be done by the end of next week (when I go to school).

So look forward to it I suppose :P


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by NanaFreak on 12-29-2007 at 10:40 AM

wow, this looks HOT... finnaly you made something good (jks, you have made good stuff in the past)

i might actually use this o.0


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 12-29-2007 at 11:12 AM

haha thanks nanafreak :>


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by TheAshe on 12-30-2007 at 06:18 PM

Maybe a darker background in the contact list, to be easier on the eyes. But either way, amazing job. I'm just starting to figure out how to skin, and I'd appreciate any helpful points I can get.


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 12-31-2007 at 12:56 AM

Hmm, yeah maybe a soft tone of grey maybe. But for the moment it stays as it is :)

Thanks for the feedback :)

I'd use that if it were silver-grey coloured. Too dark hurts my eyes after prolonged usage :sad:. I say go for silver :)
RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 12-31-2007 at 09:57 AM

Well yeah, if this skin is a hit, then I will do it slightly like the evo.
So you get to choose the colours :)

-maybe-


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 01-10-2008 at 11:25 AM

Well it seems that it won't be out before i start school because I have been at school for nearly a week, I cannot do anymore when at school because my laptop is in repair.

Before school i was overloaded with website designs to make, for people (paid) and i didnt have any time.

And now i cannot because exams are next week and i need to revise


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Matt-in on 02-10-2008 at 08:37 PM

This is the best skin I like in the skin database though Its too bad you are not gonna be able to finish it nowadays :( lol :( :( At least would you mind just putting a plsk file just let us try it a bit :) It looks so good that I just cant stop looking at the preview :) Thanks.


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 02-10-2008 at 08:48 PM

Hey,

I have 1 week off school, but I won't be on the PC much. I will try to get it finished though. I am not rushing it.

Glad to hear you like it :)


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Matt-in on 02-10-2008 at 09:02 PM

I wouldnt want to get u in a rush though I guess Im the biggest fan of this beatiful skin :) If you could release at least one version of it whenever you are free I would appreciate it :)
Btw Will There Colour Support for the SKin? :)
Thanks


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 02-10-2008 at 09:19 PM

Yes, colourization does work (if you read a few of the pages you will see a screenshot I provided, colorized to red)

I want to get it done before the end of next week (next saturday to be precise)


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Matt-in on 02-10-2008 at 09:37 PM

Ooh Very Nice :) I appreciate your work :) Thanks A LOt for being it possible.


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 02-11-2008 at 05:21 PM

Well here's the deal... When I get my ICT coursework finished I will continue with this skin.

:)


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Basilis on 02-11-2008 at 05:27 PM

And when will you finish your ICT(what is that?) so that we can have this skin?


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 02-11-2008 at 06:01 PM

Lol hard question, I am about 3/4 through it. If I put my mind to it i can finish it in the hour. But not tonight i'm going out.

Argh I suck at keeping to dates and shiz. Soooo I will have it done (hopefully) by saturday.

I haven't dont a lot. Only most of the contact list and the login screen. I have a hell of a lot of work to do.

RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Basilis on 02-11-2008 at 08:21 PM

Anyway, we can wait. I think it deserves it. the only thing I don't like is the minmaxclose in the chat window


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Matt-in on 02-11-2008 at 11:27 PM

Anyway I hope you will do fine on your ICT. Its Ok, I can wait Like till saturday for this skin :) Thanks A LOt.

I agree, i was liking the look of this skin, it seemed to fade into the background by the looks of it though *-)
RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Matt-in on 02-24-2008 at 03:32 AM

I like the way it is very simple stylish as it seems from the images:)

So Napbree we are looking forward to get this skin as soon as possible ;)


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 07-09-2008 at 06:51 PM

Well that sucks, i've only just realised that when my HDD failed I forgot to backup this stuff! It's all gone! Nooo. I will have to do it again - maybe.

Sorry guys thats why there's been on update - yes I know it's been 6 or so months. :(


RE: [Coming Soon] Dashboard v1.0 by Nathan on 07-14-2008 at 06:10 PM

Ok on the spur of the moment... I have decided I am going to start it again... so for all of those who liked it - you will have it soon (kinda)
