<BR>Kobi: I think I understand, and respect your choice. <BR> <BR>(I on the other hand would like to do something for the Base, but I´m finding WB3 too intense for me. I just can´t seem to find that "Eureka" moment where it all falls together.) <BR> <BR>In the mean time, keep on doing what you do so well. <BR>Oh, and by the way: Are we gonna see a new version of "The Clock"? <BR>That always was one of my favorite apps of yours... :) <BR>
I´d join this site´s team. I think I could make a decent skin if I really wanted, but I have a long list of reasons why I won´t... <BR>Anyway, good luck!
I have a male thingy - what´s the big deal? <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>{:p
Mail Thingy????What are you and your system doing in that dark corner over there? :D <BR> <BR>Anyway I´ve joined the circus...so, I´m off to read as many WindowBlinds tutorials as I can find. :)
done!! :) :) :) Now I just gotta install my mail thingy! :) <BR>:snow
You´ll get a mail from me as soon as I get my system cleaned for vira! :) (<b>read</b>: total reinstall) <BR>:snow
You´re more than welcome :) Just email me and I´ll let you know where to grab WindowBlinds and SkinStudio from especially for Skinbase. <BR> <BR>scarebear@skinbase.org
Can I be a bASEHEAD? <BR>I´m not a real skinner, but I play one on TV! ;)
Ok - For those that don´t read the Skinbase news, if you need a FULL working version of WindowBlinds and/or SkinStudio, email me and get your own Skinbase branded version. They all expire on April 1st I believe (and that´s not a joke;)) <BR> <BR>You are only allowed to download if you have joined up at the guiolympics website first and if you will submit at least one skin on behalf of Skinbase.
Sneak peak coming in email matey :) And I love the Basehead skinning group idea.
Oh, and Jason: <BR>I never had any doubts you could do it. <BR>I´ve always known you had "the right stuff"... <BR> <BR>(And I want a sneak-peak) <BR> <BR>{:p
Oh and another brainstorm before I head home. <BR>If the idea of trying to skin by yourself is too daunting for some, maybe rather than one person trying to complete a skin by themselves, they could combine their talents and help one another, under the name "BaseHead". <BR> <BR>Hey - it´s a thought... {:p
<BR>Great! I´ll be behind you folks all the way! <BR>{:p <BR>(Unless they happen to have a catagory for biggest doofus - then I´m a shoe-in...) <BR>:P
Know what you mean Elwin!! All I have to do now is learn how to skins WB ;) <BR>And just to set something strait: <BR>If I do win any cash (very unlikely) it will <b>all</b> be transferred to Skinbase, no matter how small/big the price may be! :) <BR>Yeah, just concider me the biggest fool ever to set foot on Mother Earth but Skinbase surely needs the cash more than I do!! <BR>:snow
<BR>Well, IF the judges are blind, and IF I do happen to get a WB skin done, and IF those blind judges give me anyting at all, ...I´m with you Snow. <BR>(I know - BIG "ifs") <BR> <BR>{:p <BR>
Ok - so we are thinking of setting up a mailing list or special forum for Skinbase members who want to get into this competition. The only person not allowed to skin here is :grave because he owns the site ;) <BR> <BR>Would people be interested in a forum to use for swapping tips or posting questions? <BR> <BR>Like "How the heck does this SkinStudio work!?!" ;)
That would indeed be <b><u>very helpfull</u></b>!!!! <BR>:snow
Yu goe boiz! <BR>{:p <BR> <BR>That means yes...
boink <BR> <BR> <BR>er, I mean bump. <BR>{:p
hey boinkin if fine here there is enough light so we can see...
that would be "is" fine <BR> <BR>
BTW, I´d be more than willing to offer my services as a grunt worker for any skinners that are working as Skinbase reps. That means any graphic parts that need to be cranked out, testing and the like. <BR>I can be confidential - just ask Scarebear... {:p <BR> <BR>Oh, and I have a couple of rough ideas/sketches if someone would want to try to flesh them out. <BR>Again, for Skinbase entrants, of course. <BR>:)
I have a skin at about 90% I´d guess. I need to fine tune it and figure out some colour problems :)
I´m behind Skinbase All the way. Too bad i´m not good enough, BUT I might try myself anyway. i´ll start skinning WB today!
I went over there to sign up, only to find that I´m already signed. ..And just the other day I was telling my subconsious to stop doing these things without telling me first.....
Now if I could just remember the damn password.
Are the GUI olympics accounts linked to WinCustomize accounts? if not then someone else is using my nick.
zathrus....... yes it is linked :-)
I clicked on the send password. recieved the password.. cut and pasted it into the password box ... enter username ... click login ... "Sorry the password you´ve entered is invalid... <BR> <BR>Anyway... I tried.
Ok, I am now known as zathr<b>a</b>s ...
scarebear, I have some questions.......... if you don´t mind :-) <BR> <BR>1. What do they mean by "Teams" <BR> <BR>2. If I were to enter, do I have to contact skinbase first? <BR>3. If you have to, is there a deadline to do this by? <BR>4. If one enters the contest with the agreement to submit a skin and misses the deadline, then what? <BR> <BR>5. Most important question I have....... If a person uploads a skin for the contest, and they "Win" some type of catagory, does that mean the person has lost the rights to their own skin to do as they wish with it, I know Stardock will have rights, and thats okay...... but can I still use my skin any way I want to too? <BR> <BR>6. Even if a skinner wins "nothing" is the above answer still binding? <BR> <BR>7. If someones skin was to be rejected from the contest for what ever reason, would the above answer still be binding? <BR> <BR>Sorry about all the questions, but the rules are not very clear for me........... :-)
zath<b>a</b>s.... did you figure out that you don´t type in your username, but your email addy ;) <BR> <BR>chichi: <BR>1 "Teams" I guess is those that submit skins "for" a certain site (maybe) <BR>2 You don´t <b>have to<b> contact Skinbase <BR>3 see "2" ;) <BR>4 too bad.. you don´t win anything <BR>5/6/7 don´t know actually.. but try contacting Frogboy, he should know <BR> <BR>:snow
Heh, Snow, yes eventually....
Where are the drug test take place? <BR> <BR>Do you guys think a Orange WB would win something?
Let me cut up the bit in the rules on ownership... <BR> <BR><blockquote> <BR>"Author agrees to grant Stardock a license to use and redistribute their skins and include their skins on CDs and other materials." <BR></blockquote> <BR> <BR><b>Translation:</b> by uploading this skin, you agree to Stardock distributing it. Most common form of this is putting it up on a site to download. But they can also sell cd´s with skins and stuff. Note that there´s nothing about payment here, so if they (hypothethically) opt to sell cd´s they don´t have to pay you. <BR> <BR><blockquote> <BR>"Submission of an entry grants sponsor and its´ agents the right to publish, use, adapt, edit and/or modify such entry in any way in any and all media, without limitation, and without consideration to the entrant. Submission of an entry licenses Stardock the complete use of the skin in any form without limitation." <BR></blockquote> <BR> <BR><b>Translation:</b> by uploading you give the sponsor (Stardock) and anyone they want to, the right to do <i>anything</i> they like with your skin, including printing it on toilet paper to wipe your butt with, without having to ask you for your opinion/agreement. This is usually translated as being allowed to resize the screenshots to thumbnails, but it implies so much more. <BR> <BR><blockquote> <BR>"Ownership of skin remains with the skin author." <BR></blockquote> <BR> <BR><b>Translation:</b> the skin is yours, if you want it gone, you tell them to remove it and they will have to comply, because it is your skin. <BR> <BR>Trouble is, the other ruless state they can do what the hell they want with your skins, so which rule is decisive?
So to answer Chichi´s questions: <BR> <BR>5. yes, you own the skin so you can do what you want <BR>6. yes, because it applies to all submission, be they winners, losers or rejects <BR>7. yes, see #6, even if it is rejected, the rules talk about <i>submissions</i> and a rejected submission is still a submission
I don´t think I´m entering the GUI Olympics, I don´t feel I can handle any pressure trying to meet a certain date, but if any one needs help I´m willing to help, I promise I won´t sneak any flowers on your skin lol
Ummm...Just wanted to say that I signed up for the GUI olympics and I´d like to represent this site if that´s ok with skinBase...I have some interesting ideas but I´ve always had a problem making my designs work in windowBlinds...If there is someone in admin or winBlind skinner out there that loves this site as much as I do that´s willing to help me out with the programming/coding...I´d be more than happy to send you the psd for the skins...I´m an underDog in this community and I´m not looking for a prize, just wanna be seen...bugzOut
You saying I´m daft!?! ;)
use notepad?! hmm.... not a dumb idea mate! Just like in the old days when coding html ;) <BR>:snow
i can help out with the graphics but putting the skin together is not my strong point
As do I. Just use Notepad matey ;) Or try Aleksyandr´s tutorial. It helps.
arrghgh... I get more and more confused every time I try to figure out Skinstudio!!! :/ <BR>:snow
Thanks for the wishes kobi. I hope we do well too :) Money won (if) will hopefully be used on things like upgrading the RAM for Skinbase etc.... Faster Skinbase is good Skinbase :D <BR> <BR>And we´ll hopefully have another Skinbase competition soon for non-WindowBlinds lovers/users. <BR> <BR>Until then, we still need skinners for this competition ;)
