now that we are in winter and are surrounded by cold weather it sort of feels depressing, i have a gadget on my desktop that shows its sunny in kenya where im going on holiday next year and find seeing sunny stuff on my desktop cheers me up, its because of this i decided to make this Beach Skin, originally was going to be a Blue Skin but this morning i was inspired to turn it into a beach theme, below is a screenshot.



please let me know what you think, remember this skins still in developement so i can make changes if necesarry.

EDIT:

ive fixed the screenshot now hope that its ok.

hmm would be good if you sould make the image bigger... dont like the idea... mainly because it has been done before in a very dodgy way =\

im sorry for the small screenshot but i dont know how to specify the size on these forums.

maybe take a larger image? if you make that any larger it will pixelate.

Agreed , i don't like the idea but lets see how it turns out to be.

No offense, but the color combination just sucks!

i created the image based on the skin submission guidelines stating to use a resolution of 1024x768, i put the size on here to 480x360 as didnt want to make the image too big on here as it would mean people having to scroll too much, i can however make it larger if you would like.

I don't think you should use the name "Beach messenger" since there is another skin called like that: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=77385

Hyperlink the 480 image to the 1024

this should be called tripped out messenger... also maybe show screenshots of no borders...

well the name is a work in progress, i couldnt see one called beach skin in the skins database so didnt realise it would conflict, nanafreak could you maybe explain why you suggested tripped out messenger im not saying its a bad suggestion im just curious as to the reason behind it.

i am willing to take on board any constructive criticism you guys have to offer, at the end of the day i just want to make a nice skin that people will enjoy.

as i said above i will happily accept any constructive criticism offered to me, you said the colour combination was poor, i admit it could be better, however if i just randomly change colur combinations this could take months to develope, therefore if you could point out on which windows the combinations dont work on and maybe suggest a possible combination that might look better i would be happy to make the modifications.
