O.P. Roll Eyes  skin: name ideas?
heyy!

i've been making a skin for a while now, im quite proud of it.. but now i need a really cool name for it, and i'm low on ideas. there's no specific theme to it.

so can anyone think of anything?

the skin looks fairly simple, but ive tried to put as many options as i can think of. it has a light mode and a dark mode aaand it colorizes pretty well too. (im telling this to help with ideas, im not just bragging :D ) if you wanna know anything else just ask.

anyway i'll release this soon, or not soon, depending on how long it takes :)



((if nobody replies till after tuesday, it'll be a while before i reply. i'm off to americaa for a fortnight :D ))

Well it's your artwork piece, what does it mean to you, how would you describe it in as few words as possible?

Play with that idea and see if a name comes to mind. :)

Hmm... a screenshot would probably help to give us proper ideas, too. :p

thanks!

the pic isn't very up to date (for example, i made the window edges cleaner since) but you get the idea of how it generally looks :)

oh and i'll mention now, when i get to releasing it i'll get rid of the 'hide ads' feature, since i hear it's not allowed. so no worries there ;) (i'm talking about the lack of ads in the screenshot)

light theme looks good, especially the white.

But the dark theme.... i dunno I think it needs work, especially by looking at the display picture border.

I think you should try think of a name that represents what you have worked on. Like with my skins I just think of words that would describe the skin and then just shorten them or mix them with other words.

i.e Ev0 got its name from Evolved, Zero-G got it from "no guidelines"

Another thing would be to name it after animals or some sort of natural phenomenon (tends to be popular as well.

Simple words that flow from the tongue would be nice for this skin. Even if you make them up. as long as it sounds nice it'd suit I think
