What a good idea stuart

Yeah you are right I was going to create a skin for each holiday event

Joining them together is a great idea with having like a christmas, easter and summer theme, we could even add like a spring theme, autum and winter theme. Maybe also add a birthday theme so that the person can use that option on there birthday.

I feel I just haven't got the grasp off using xml fully I know the basics but when it comes to the options and stuff thats when I get stuck. Now I realise why i only got a D in computing (which was heavily involved with VB [VS] and coding).

me and Jason (freak544) are now in the early stages of merging our 2 skins together. christmas skin merged in without any loss of features however my skin i had to take the option to put word wheel to the top out as i dont know how to do it without creating a second resgroup for the summertime theme.

if anyone knows how to do this it will be added for all themes. we currently have 3 themes which are:

• Summertime
  Christmas
  Default

default is the theme you first see after importing the skin, as each theme is set for a certain time of year we needed a neutral theme for the deafult, we are planning to add a spring and birthday themes in to the mix prior to release.

just thought we would keep you apprised of our developements.

I thought someone was already making/finished a 'holidays' skin?

EDIT: Yeah, I was thinking of Sunshine's skin

yes but sunshines only offers a handful of event themes, we are looking at doing themes for every holiday in the UK calendar, hey freak544 do you know how to draw pancakes? (srove tuesday) lol

I think that sunshine just wanna adapt her skin to the holidays... but that isn't the real point of that skin but this...

i will have a go at drawing pancakes

i think your right warmth that was my understanding of what sunshine was after too. and to be honest theres so much room for expansion with a skin that does holidays i mean do you just do the UK Calendar or do you incorporate other calendars, you could add independence day, 9/11, thanks giving, heck add the chinese calendar who have an animal representing each year and you can do themes for like year of the rooster etc the possibilities are endless i doubt one holiday skin will ever cover every holiday from every holiday calendar.

It will all be nice to have different styles of the same versions of skins so if people get board of one version they can use another version of it for a bit of change

I agree stuart it would be pretty hard to make a skin with all the events from all calenders thats why ours will be a UK holiday's skin

LoL
Pancake day skin
St. Georges Day skin. K1LL dA Dr@g0n!1!
etc

yeah there are loads of events
