[Release] Funkalicious by vaccination on 07-08-2008 at 03:02 PM

[Image: promodg6.png]

Basically a blue skin with lots of gloss. Currently only skinned the contact list and logon - of which the wordwheel and main contactlist parts have options to be turned on or off. There is also the option to have the image on the logon bigger if you like to have a wider contact list.

My next step is going to be recoding everything I have now to make a it a lot tidier etc, after which I may skin the conversation window, and will definitely add more options. Tbh this is just a tester to see if people like it, and to get comments/feedback - I've been using it for a while now though, and I like it so ;p

It looks "ok"...i won't knock effort as you have put more in than myself...but i personally do not like the "boxy" appearance of the lighter colours. Nice work though.

EDIT: Love the sign in window and toasts though :)

It's awesome.


RE: [Release] Funkalicious by aNILEator on 07-08-2008 at 03:53 PM

nice try, but i don't like it, doesn't flow well between the colours in my opinion

What Nile says sums up what I wanted to say.

And base it off Open Live if you want everything already organized :P.

It's pretty good, vax, although i think it would look lots of times better if it had a similar background in the contact list too, i luuuuuuuuuv the logon window

I don't want to base it off someone else's work.

I did have one, but it was being lame so I removed it. I'll look into making it for you =p
RE: [Release] Funkalicious by DejaVoo on 07-08-2008 at 05:58 PM

I really like it…

The toasts are heaps cool as is the sign in window...

:)
 
I hope you end up skinning the conversation window and adding the extra options you mentioned in your post, would love to see it all finished…     


RE: [Release] Funkalicious by joey on 07-08-2008 at 05:58 PM

its ooook, but i think it might look good in other colours/shades tbh, the glossiness works well though, and yeah a BG image would rox.


RE: [Release] Funkalicious by Willz on 07-09-2008 at 01:43 AM

not bad, but the gloss that is on the top part and search bar seems a bit too strong for my likings its really sharp. But the colour scheme and pattern is certainly in the right direction.

The name of the skin is pretty close to the one I'm working on right now :P Ah well great minds think alike I guess.


RE: [Release] Funkalicious by Th3rmal on 07-09-2008 at 07:21 AM

if only the contact list looked like the logon window...:drool:


RE: [Release] Funkalicious by Nathan on 07-09-2008 at 11:59 AM

I agree with the above :P

I love the logon list its sexy. If the whole skin was like that I'd use it - but as it is it's too I dunno just too :p


RE: [Release] Funkalicious by aNILEator on 07-09-2008 at 02:53 PM

screenshot of this login?


RE: [Release] Funkalicious by Basilis on 07-09-2008 at 02:57 PM

There is one on his first post. I agree the login window looks good. :)

RE: [Release] Funkalicious by Basilis on 07-09-2008 at 06:08 PM

You can see the login window in the white screenshot. It is in the middle.


RE: [Release] Funkalicious by aNILEator on 07-09-2008 at 06:12 PM

Oh I remember helping him get that image on the sign in window working :D that was months ago :O


RE: [Release] Funkalicious by Basilis on 07-09-2008 at 06:14 PM

Yes this is the image. I see now why you couldn't see it :)

Would you lot prefer that? (or something to that effect)
RE: [Release] Funkalicious by Basilis on 07-09-2008 at 06:25 PM

Then it would be difficult to read the contacts names and PSMs.

Like the design on the toasts and pre-signin contactlist, but less a fan of the gradients after signin.

Overall, good start :).

as soon as i posted it, it loaded the image - so yeah, dodgy.
RE: [Release] Funkalicious by aNILEator on 07-09-2008 at 07:17 PM

imgshack probably taking a good hammering, or doing some service work whilst trying to remain online or something


RE: [Release] Funkalicious by Th3rmal on 07-10-2008 at 12:44 AM

Abit more transparant maybe (just the contact list picture), and maybe change the gradient (im not sure how, but it isnt working to well for me)

Good Job Vax :)
