OP
Can&acute;t really mention an app in particular but i&acute;m surely in. Probably my good ol&acute; fav like Kewlpad and Greybook, or something. <br /> <br />and btw, it&acute;s been a while since we last saw you on Skinbase. Good to hear from you here.

Sylva, I can&acute;t skin, but I&acute;m looking forward what the Community Skin Project looks like. :) It must take forever to build CSP. ;)

thanks brub *s* <br /> <br />I&acute;ve actually been out for quite a while. Had too much going on in my life, but I&acute;ve come around just to lurk from time to time. I started back on WC a couple weeks ago, just haven;t gotten around much yet *s*

I&acute;ve decided that it might be easier to just have everyone e-mail me what they want to skin. That way I don&acute;t have to go through all the profiles to find e-mail addy&acute;s to send everything to. dspadafore@woh.rr.com and for a general list of apps to skin, go to http://commskinproject3.tripod.com/ <br /> <br />I&acute;ll start keeping a list of who is doing what on the web-site after each person e-mails me to confirm that you&acute;re actually going to do it.

Well so much for that...... }:| }:| <br />As the rest of the <b>few</b> that actually bothered to get they ass of the chair and &quot;sign up&quot; for the new <i>Community Skin</i> I just recieved an email from Donna about the project being cancelled... <br /> <br />I cannot say how disappointed I am that this fine <b>Community</b> project has been dropped because so few wanted to chip in! <br />But I guess this just <u>confirms</u> my thoughts about &quot;The Community&quot;: <b>It is NON-existing</b> <br /> <br />Well I dunno about the others that actually joined in, but I&acute;m at least gonna finish the skins I&acute;m working on!!

Xenu - I haven&acute;t been in a project like this before either, but I was around when the two previous projects was set about - and Im still kicking myself for not joining them :( <br /> <br />Dor - Do what you like, I think..... Who knows, if we finish our stuff it might &quot;spark&quot; more interest for a possible next CS!!

Snow... thats intresting, u know I really like teamwork, creating nice stuff! So this really sounded (or sounds) very good :) <br /> <br />maybe could u tell me a program which is easy to skin? as far as I got it is that i have to make looots of little images and they work 2gether in the end, is that right? :-) <br /> <br />i would like to start somewhere but duno have a clue where...

Ooops. Sorry Doreen. I don&acute;t use that e-mail account that often anymore and I forgot there was CS stuff in there now. <br /> <br />Snowy&acute;s right. it did get cancelled. You can do the skins anyway if you still want to, but it won;t be under the community skin name. It&acute;ll just be skinners porting other skinners. <br /> <br />Now, for my to do list <br /> <br />#1. Update e-mail in account info!

Xenu, good apps to start out on are quicknotes, beatnik, coolplayer, xxcalc, color pad, and I&acute;m sure someone else will tell you a few more after thay read this. *s*

Hold up, hold up, not so fast. Why did you cancel it? I can see two possible reasons: <br /> <br />1) &quot;I don&acute;t have the time to manage this suite&quot; - this is a valid reason. But if you can&acute;t manage it, you either should not set it up or find someone that can. <br /> <br />2) &quot;There is no support for it, the community is dead&quot; - this is bogus. Judging by this thread, I see plenty of people willing to participate. Unless ofcourse the majority chickened out.

It takes time to make skins. So much to do, so little time. *sigh* :| If the skins are uploaded & looks the same, ya can change the skins name. Am I making sense? Just a suggestion. Work on the skin when ya have free time.

I&acute;ll probably stick with the skin I allready started for the suite. It looked to me like we allready had 10 or so apps covered. Don&acute;t know why this was cancled so early.

cool idea :) i think i“d like to do a Rainmeter skin. would it be OK to do my own graphics instead of cutting and pasting? porting bores me, but i“m sure i can make it go with the overall flow.
