[REQUEST] World Travel skin by stuartbennett on 01-05-2008 at 02:44 PM
every year i go on holiay i set up a vista gadget for the weather and for the time i also set one up for counting down how long until i go, the only thing i havent been able to do is skin messenger so that it looks like the place im going on holiday to, so what would be cool is if someone could make a skin with themes for every single country on earth so no matter where i go on holiday i can get in the mood as it draws closer.
i was thinking of doing this with jason as our next project after we complete the 365 skin however im concerned this might be biting off more than we can chew lol.

yeah true, i just thought it would be cool, but as you say 365 skin is already over 6MB in size with only 8 themes so god knows how big this one would be

This skin would be vast in size.It would be very nice!
RE: [REQUEST] World Travel skin by stuartbennett on 01-05-2008 at 04:43 PM
basilis yes i know the size will be big however it would be nice and i think if its good looking enough would be well worth the large download size

Well it wouldn't be big in size, if we could have skins implemented with scripts

how would interconnectivity with scripts make a skin smaller if anything adding a script into a skinpack would make it bigger.

By being able to download pics as and when needed. You can get a script to do it any I suppose

Just change the colour and set a suitable lvback.gif instead

It'd be much easier for you to make a basic skin which replaced images on a few main screens(logon, contact list) and then just change the pictures for the place you're going to.(obviously, same image dimension for ease)
You could probably copy most of the code from the skin you have already.
